We have a simple 2011 Patriot Sport with the CVT (Constantly Variable Transmission), power windows and door locks, and love it. It has plenty of room, is comfy, has amazing get-up-and-go for a 4 banger, and gets fairly good fuel economy (avg. 24. 7 mpg [with the wife's heavier foot] hand calculated city/hwy - WA has the CA smog requirement). The AWD system is something of an electronic marvel - it works seamlessly. 12,400 miles trouble free miles so far.
