Guess im the newb. My Fiance is in love with the Compass. She is set to get a used one around end of year. I love the idea of adding another Jeep to the family! I found the forum while googling the Compass. Im just trying to do some research for her and then we will go test drive in the next few months. She wants a 2.4L 4x2 auto trans with the usual power locks/windows/cruise. So far ive learned about the Compass:
1. mpg gets better as you put on more miles
2. 2.4L with 4x4 is getting around 25 mpg mixed driving
3. there has been rare occurense of ESP issues (not new to me, i own an 07 wrangler with the same issues)
4. You definitly want the 2.4, the 2.0 would be way to slow
5. there is an intake and exhaust out already for the Compass :twisted:
Anyways, look for my threads, ill be looking for advice and opinions. Im not new to Jeeps, my family has owned several in the past and I have owned a 98 Cherokee that was pretty modified and now I own an 07 Wrangler. Lets hope she gets great mpg in Compass to offset my 13 mpg wrangler. The 35" tires dont help!
