Replying to: farout (May 12, 2007 10:07 am) Wow,   You sure you don't live near my house? Sounds like my drive. I didn't get the trip computer in mine. Odd since it has Navi and darn near everything else. When I estimate gas mileage, I zero out my odometer when I fill up my tank. Then, the next time I fill up, I divide the gallons by my miles. My wife has a trip computer in her Liberty, and the old fashioned manual way seems to be the more accurate way of determining MPG's. I get on average, 22-23 MPG, but then again, I probably out weigh you by a good 150lbs at least. Half my commute is back roads as well so...   Anyway, I am thinking of getting beefier tires and a large Thule top rack. Ill be putting in the DvD player soon as well. Im sure that wont help my gas mileage. Replies to this message: farout (May 15, 2007 4:42 pm)
#166 of 188 Jeep Compass Coments by carguy37 May 15, 2007 (3:01 pm)
Yea after test driving the compass i've looked at a few others like the patriot for example to make my final decision and i think im going with the compass i like everything about it except that CVT transmission. I mean why couldnt the just give it a regular automatic tranny. but i do like the great gas mileage u get and the feel and room and how everything is easy to read and get to i just dont like how it feels like it has no horsepower because of the cvt it seems like its holding back. and this coming after test driving other vehicles like the chevy cobalt and hhr but i want something a lil cheaper but doesnt feel like im not getting any options with it so im really going towards the compass. like i said the only thing i dont like iz the tranny options but ill get over it cause i really need something tough roomy and gets good gas mileage considering where i live gas is anywhere from $2.88-$2.96 its ridiculous these gas prices well please let me know if you think im leaning towards the right decisions cause i really could use some opinions here. Thanks

Replying to: hortag (May 15, 2007 6:41 am) hortag: No we have the pretty much the basic 4x4 Compass. It does have the Compass, and the mpg used, and fuel miles left. But we do the math on the mpg just as you do. I am not sure why you would out weigh our Compass, I think they are pretty much the same weight. We got the SRA tires, and that was one reason we had to look for one that had those tires on the Compass. They seem to do real well so far. In wind, rain and even our rough road.   farout

Sounds like crickets chirping here as well as the Patriot board. I wonder why?

Replying to: farout (Apr 21, 2007 10:33 am) My 04 Neon with a 5-speed manual trans has touched 40 mpg and is quicker than most other cars on the road. The engine/trans has excellent punch in the 70-100 mph range.
#170 of 188 2.0 engine? by farout Jul 09, 2007 (7:29 pm)
Has anyone seen a Compass with a 2. L engine in it? I am pretty sure that the Jeep web site said late arrival. I am sure it would not be available with the 4X4.    I will say for a 2.4 L engine it sure is slow on the get go. My wife says it helps save gas as what is the use in flooring it if it don't get up and go in the first place. I will say when passing it does have the power you need there. I think it is a rather loud engine for as little as horse power as it has. Anyone else think the same as me?   farout
#171 of 188 Potential Purchase by jl49 Jul 13, 2007 (7:11 am)
I'm thinking about purchasing a Compass through Manhattan Jeep in NYC. Does anybody else recommend any Jeep dealers in the NYC or New Jersey area? Does anyone know what kind of financing incentives are being offerred through Chrysler Financial? Replies to this message: farout (Jul 13, 2007 9:43 am) jl49 (Jul 16, 2007 7:44 am)

Replying to: jl49 (Jul 13, 2007 7:11 am) j149: Goo to Jeep.com, there you can check on Specials and check on incentives. You can also check for Search for Dealers, and see who is offereing the Compass at below the $750. rebate. In Missouri there are dealers offering the Compass for $1500. BELOW msrp. I would suggest you get one with the Yes fabric seats, and the 4x4, as they are holding the value better. The Drivers convience group is a great option, and of course Speed Control. The limited has many of the opitins that the Sport does add as options. You can expect 22 to 25 mpg with the 4x4. The Compass is a very solid smooth ride, we enjoy ours. Good hunting!   farout Replies to this message: jl49 (Jul 16, 2007 7:44 am)

#174 of 188 factory to dealer incentives by jl49 Jul 16, 2007 (11:18 am)
Does anyone know if there are any factory to dealer incentives being offered right now for the 2007 model in order to make room for the 2008 Compass. Replies to this message: farout (Jul 16, 2007 12:21 pm) jl49 (Jul 17, 2007 12:41 pm) steve_ (Jul 17, 2007 12:57 pm) and 1 more...
