Replying to: wtedman (Apr 17, 2006 6:11 am) The Compass has an active system like the Calibers, but it also has a lock mode. I haven't checked the dodge, but I don't think it has this feature. Replies to this message: trumpet_washer (May 26, 2006 10:14 am)

Replying to: gljvd (Apr 15, 2006 11:31 pm) Personally, I think the compass is a loser from the start and will not sell. Saturn has an "suv" that is fwd that they advertise with high mileage. They can't give it away (at least anywhere you might need 4wd). Its just a loss leader to get people into the showroom so they can try and sell a more expensive model.   If you add 4wd and a few options to the compass you are in Liberty cost range. Why buy a Neon for Liberty money? Replies to this message: gljvd (May 29, 2006 8:01 pm) tboudrot (Aug 04, 2006 12:10 pm)

Replying to: vtdog (May 27, 2006 7:59 am) It depends on what you mean by liberty money.   I can get the compass (which i don't wnat but still) fully loaded for about 21 or so , to do the same with the liberty i'm looking at around 30k .   I'm going to go for the patriot as I can get all the options I want and be around 20k . That is where i'd start on the liberty

#66 of 188 Let's see it on the lot before we burn it ! by sric Jun 03, 2006 (10:26 am)
I have a 99 RAV4 AWD and will soon be in the market for a new updated vehicle of similar characteristics. I live in the Northeast where there is a lot of ice and snow. I want a good road ride that will handle some cargo so I want fold down seats but good gas milage is a must in the three buck a gallon world. For the short off road jonts I do while canoeing or fishing and for roads in deep snow, the 8 inch road clearance is good. I like the big four idea, I really like the 5 speed manual which often is not offered on this class of SUV ( 06 RAV 4 latest example ) I think Jeep may have a vehicle to compete with Subaru Forester, Honda CRV, and the Tuscon and will fair pretty well. I don't know weather I'll like the Compass or the patriot better but I think they are both possible choices for me. I want to see them in person before I condemn the looks. I hope the MPG on the manual tranny is in the 28-32 range highway. Replies to this message: twain (Jun 10, 2006 9:33 pm) clarkkent (Jun 13, 2006 2:29 pm) mb789 (Jun 29, 2006 9:36 pm)

Replying to: sric (Jun 03, 2006 10:26 am) I hope the MPG on the manual tranny is in the 28-32 range highway. -------------------------------   The 2.4 Caliber is rated 23/26. And the Compass/Patriot may be heavier so could be even less. 30mpg hwy would be great but I don't see it happenin'. A diesel with more torque and 35mpg would be fantastic. And a 2.0 diesel will be an option in Europe. I hope it comes here.

Replying to: sric (Jun 03, 2006 10:26 am) Why is everyone saying the Patriot is going to be a small SUV? It is about one or two inches BIGGER that the standard Cherokee in H,W & L.   The Patriot may not be a REAL BIG SUV but it's going to be bigger that the Rav4, Forester, CRV, etc.   I have a 1991 Cherokee and it's just the right size, so I can't wait to see the Patriot.   And remember the Patriot will have a H/L range 4X4 system.   None of the other have it, so when the Japanese rigs get in a little over their heads (happened before) the good old AMERICAN PATRIOT Jeep will be there to save them from themselves yet again, just like the little old Jeeps of yesteryear!   CK   Replies to this message: mb789 (Jun 29, 2006 9:36 pm)
#70 of 188 First drive is up by gljvd Jun 26, 2006 (10:45 pm)
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FirstDrives/articleId=115901   Seems like they like it , hopefully that is good news for the patriot , that looks and sounds better .   This output bests the four-bangers from the volume leaders while delivering class-leading fuel economy of 25 city/29 highway with the five-speed manual transmission and 23/26 with the automatic. These figures are for the four-wheel-drive powertrain   23/26 for the cvt sounds great to me . Hopefully the patriot is at that also. The off roading sounds strong also.
