Guys, Girls... Just picked up my new car, a logical upgrade from the gracefully ageing Cherokee I've owned for the last 3 years.
Its a brand new 2008 build, Jeep Patriot Sport turbo diesel 6 speed manual. The engine and gearbox is the same as in the current model VW golf 2.0, at least Jeep done something right there!
I was almost going to buy a Nitro, but the patriot is far better value and less common
Stereo is standard, interior trim is standard and wheels are standard. not for long!
I have already bought the premium "mygig" system as found in the 300c's grand cherokees and nitros. The "MyGIG" is a canbus run double din touch screen DVD, CD, MP3, Sirius, Radio, USB, Ipod controller and has a built in 20gb hard drive which can be set to "rip" CDs upon insertion of a new cd. The rest of the system is soon to be as follows:
Proposed...
Headunit: MyGig 20gb low speed canbus
Processor: Rockford 360.2
Front speakers: DDC6x9
Rear speakers: DDC6x9
Amplifiers: 1x Rockford T1500BD
