Dunno why you think that . The Patriot looks so much like the Jeep Cherokee its not even funny.   I think its one of the better looking suv's on the market actually.   I just don't want it to look like it cost 10$ inside when I'm paying 20k or so on it

Replying to: vtdog (May 27, 2006 7:59 am) drove the Compass today. I was excited because I liked everything that I had seen and read about it. But the Edmunds review is right on. I got in and I thought the seat was way too close... Unfortunately, the seat could not go back any farther! I am 6'2" with long legs and I did not fit well. Headroom is great but VISIBILITY IS TERRIBLE! I had to almost stoop to see out the windshield. I felt as if I were closed in a tight spot and I am claustrophobic to begin with. It was comfortable and the ride and handling were fine. But there is too much plastic. I was totally underwhelemed. I guess I will wait for the Patriot of look at a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe or the 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander

I think what I don't like about the Patriot is the way from the side the main body is lower than the front and back. It makes it look fat and soft. The Cherokee was lean and tight looking by comparison. Granted the Compass has its design issues too. I think in the end the Compass mimicks the styling of a stylish import type crossover like the Lexus RX330 better than the Patriot mimicks the styling of a rugged truck like the Cherokee.   Or maybe I've overthought this already Replies to this message: steve_ (Aug 04, 2006 6:30 pm) gritngile (Aug 27, 2006 6:38 am) fzr1000 (Aug 27, 2006 9:51 pm) and 2 more...

Replying to: theronrohr (Aug 04, 2006 5:55 pm) There's more talk about the Patriot in the Jeep Patriot discussion but I don't see much photo posting over there. There's some other info about it on Inside Line.   Jeep Patroit Jeep Compass Replies to this message: gritngile (Aug 27, 2006 6:38 am) fzr1000 (Aug 27, 2006 9:51 pm) clarkkent (Sep 08, 2006 7:55 am) and 1 more...
#104 of 188 Mileage, by gritngile Aug 27, 2006 (6:38 am)
Replying to: steve_ (Aug 04, 2006 6:30 pm) I was originally interested in the Caliber, but looking at the stats for the compass I've moved on. The Jeep website gives Jeep with 4wd better mileage with the largest of the world engines than the Caliber with the midsize world engine in front wheel drive. The compass weighs more. Hmmmmm.        Also the Compass has more hip room on the same width vehicle on the same platform. Are the Jeep engineers more optimistic than Dodge engineers? There are no Compasses available in my area yet, within a thirty minute drive anyway. Sitting in both is there that much difference? Has anyone found the 29mpg with 4wd to be accurate?        Looking to be a Jeep owner soon.                       GritnGile Replies to this message: fzr1000 (Aug 27, 2006 9:51 pm) clarkkent (Sep 08, 2006 7:55 am) fzr1000 (Sep 08, 2006 8:23 pm)

Replying to: gritngile (Aug 27, 2006 6:38 am) Make no mistake, the Compass is NOT a Jeep, it's basically an ugly Dodge Caliber that some idiot put Jeep badges on. Oh, and it's not 4 wheel drive, it's All Wheel Drive, like a Subaru Forrester. The Real Jeep community would like nothing less than to see this pathetic Compass discontinued.

#106 of 188 compass vs caliber by theronrohr Aug 30, 2006 (6:40 pm)
I drove these back to back and although they feel pretty much the same the compass is definitely roomier feeling. The Caliber just feels cramped because of the low roof and short windows. The Compass has a higher ceiling, taller windows, more upright seats and I think was a little wider too. Anyway it was subjectively not cramped at all and is my clear favorite for that reason. (Even though the Caliber looks better IMO.) I'm waiting for the 2wd version to come out. I'm very interested in the CVT because I do almost 100%city driving where I think it will shine.

Replying to: fzr1000 (Aug 27, 2006 9:51 pm) To fzr1000 who tells us "The Compass is NOT a JEEP"   Gee, the last time I saw a Compass, it said "Jeep" on it. The window price sticker said, "Jeep Compass"   fzr1000, do you know something we don't?   It may not the the Jeep you want but if the DC corp. say's it's a Jeep, I bet all the courts in the land would side with DC Corp. rather than you.   I understand you don't like the JEEP Compass, but like it or not, it is a JEEP.   If you can get Jeep to design and make a Jeep just for YOU, your a better man than me.   CK Replies to this message: fzr1000 (Sep 08, 2006 8:23 pm)
