Hi,
A few weeks ago I ordered my 26E. I just didn't feel that leather seats and a stick shift automatic justified the limited edition. I already know that it will be built on the 4th of Jan 2007, so i'll be reading it's horoscope it's a capricorn :lol:
I was also looking at the Dodge Caliber, The specs are IDENTICAL except for height and weight but since I already have a Jeep liberty, I didn't wan't to sacrifice the 4x4 option. I live on a mountain side and the road gets pretty tricky. So Michelin X-ices an 4x4, that seems to be the right recipe.
My driving is 90% highway 10% city (town really). So I am hoping for better gas mileage than the liberty.
I am worried, though. I read this review. http://www.truedelta.com/models/Compass ... sion_code=
And the analyst mentions sloppy steering and an anemic motor. he trashes the Compass completely. Is this your exprerience? Does the Compass really have loose steering? I imagine that a 2.4L would have some pick-up to it.
My heart sank a bit when I read this. But then I found this forum and people seem happy with their rides. Maybe the author is an overly critical critic.
Anyway, there isn't much I can do about it now. I rarely chase other cars. I don't race and i don't go above 120/km an hour. It should do it's stuff very well.
Looking forward to reading your posts.
