They are noisy, actually cost performance, and the MPG is worse than with the 5 speed stick. The auto being a CVT is the big reason I ended up with a manual It is annoying when you accelerate and it revs up to 6k rpms and sits there. I am hoping they ditch it in the Patriot for the 6 speed automatic and add anouther 30 or so HP, might trade this one in then LOL.
