As I’ve mentioned previously, I am looking to get a new car. I really like the look of the Jeep Patriots.

But unfortunately after making some enquiries with a few of the dealers near me its proving difficult to get my hands on a vehicle to test drive. I’ve never had so much trouble trying to buy a new car. Actually, I’m getting to the point where I’m soooo over looking at getting a new car because its just too hard. I shouldn’t have to work this hard to buy a freaking car. I’ve got the shits with Jeep and the shine is starting to come off their brand with the trouble I’ve had trying to get into one of their vehicles, so I’ve started looking at comparable cars that are out there. I am beginning to get quite fond of the Suzuki Grand Vitara.

It has a similar engine to the Jeep Patriot but by looking at the photos on the net it doesn’t seem as big inside. Even trying to arrange for a test drive in one of these seems to a problem. One of the dealers near me won’t let me take it for a run down to the National Park and the other dealer only has a diesel engine and he doesn’t know when the petrol ones will be in the yard.

I’m taking this as a sign that it just wasn’t meant to be and I should just let this go and get on with other things.
