just a note to say Hi. Traded a Hyundai Tucson for a new Compass with the VW Diesel power plant. Having quite a few problems. Bought it on a Friday and it wouldn't start on the Sunday. Non franchise dealer, but they fitted a new battery as soon as they got it from the local Jeep dealer. Now there is an intermittent fault with the starter not engaging with the ring gear. Of course when I take it to the dealer it behaves itself. Now there is a thud sometimes when the starter engages, so it's booked into the non franchise dealer for a few days to see if they can sort it out. Also 35mpg, so not what you would expect, but I am reliabily informed that it can take up to
5000 miles for the engine to bed in, so 2500 miles to go. Apart from all of that, it is a great car to drive with great torque.......... lots of power through the 6 gears. I will keep you informed of the outcome over the next couple of weeks.
By the way............ happy St Patricks from Ireland. Raff
