2006 Jeep Compass review from North America
"Quick at the redline"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet as the CAR/SUV is new.
General comments?
I was looking at getting a Subaru Impreza or Dodge Caliber, but I liked the design of this car when I saw it in the metal. It looks rather ugly in pictures :(
Anyway, I have to rev the engine like crazy compared to my Neon to get power, but once the engine gets going, my Compass will really go! It just needs to lose some weight and get better aerodynamics.
The dash looks cheap, but is durable so I'm not that worried about as much as others are. The sound system that came with it is wonderful. The inside is very roomy for the size of the car.
I hope with its AWD that I can get through the PA winter coming. Only time will tell.
