I was looking into getting a new car and I saw the Jeep Patriot and read the specs on it and fell in love. The only problem is, whenever I search for a car in the area, they are all listed as manual! Does the Jeep Patriot only come with a manual transmission?

Also, does anyone have any opinions on the Jeep Compass? It looks interesting!
 
No, the Car is available with a Manual or CVT (continuously variable transmission). Without getting into a complex explanation on what a CVT is, it is essentially a new kind automatic transmission which shifts smoother. But driving is no different than a normal automatic.

The only cars that are avilable with a manual transmission only are some high performance sports car (ie Lotus Elise, Corvette Z06) since the manual transmission has better performace than a normal automatic and is more fun in a sports car, although many sports cars are moving to a paddle shift system.
