#65 of 97 Re: Is it really a Cherokee? [pegacorn] by clarkkent May 01, 2006 (7:18 am)
Replying to: pegacorn (Apr 30, 2006 9:15 pm) HOw about this. I agree with almost everything in your lastest post. I do however feel that my cherokee is a very good comfortable tons of room highway car. But when we need a real highway cruiser, we have a grand Cherokee also. The wrangler is really for fun. I agree not a real traveling car.   The CRV VS. Jeep is not a true test, as they are two completely different rigs.   You might take a look at the new Patriot. Has all kinds of new stuff for a very good highway ride. Roll midigation<sp. etc.

Replying to: rsholland (May 01, 2006 5:43 am) The Caliber also has the 2.4 engine as well as a turbo 2.4 engine. Regardless, don't expect a 5K tow package. I hope you can get an optional 3.5K tow package though.   Yes but the 1.8 is standard . I would expect the power train and towing set up to be built around that engine instead of the 2.4 and turbo .   I doubt we will get 5k , however I think we will get more than 1k .

Replying to: what2choose (Apr 29, 2006 7:16 am) I think the Rabbit would be a good choice if you don't need or want AWD. VW's reliability is supposedly not as good as it used to be, but they make very impressive interiors and ride quite well. A Rabbit diesel would give you great mpg. I really like the idea of a 5 door GTI with 2.0T and DSG, but that is pretty pricey.   The Patriot isn't really a good choice for a FWD vehicle, plus the gas mileage is fairly low probably under 25 combined.   I was interested in how the Elantra was going to turn out, but upon it's unvieling its a bit bland looking and I don't like the modest 4AT and 2.0L engine, they should have gone with a GEMA engine.
#68 of 97 gas milage by werm9 May 14, 2006 (1:39 pm)
is there anything about gas milage results on either the patriot or the compass? Replies to this message: gljvd (May 14, 2006 5:06 pm)

Replying to: werm9 (May 14, 2006 1:39 pm) I think the compass is going on sale around june or july so we should get info on that soon. Mabye the end of may .   I'm going to assume its close to the same as the caliber with the 2.4 l engine , the low 20s
#70 of 97 asdf by werm9 May 14, 2006 (6:59 pm)
its somthing they should have released when the specs went public. i think it was somwhere in this forums i read that it may get up to 30mpg. car and driver reported a 21.5 mpg average/ the caliber which is basically the same thing as a compass engine and transmission wise. and it being bigger and heavier it should acutally get worse gas milage than the caliber. worse than 21.5? no ty jeep. i was actually going to buy a caliber but afte car and drivers results i won't be getting one now
#71 of 97 EPA estimates for a Caliber with the 2.4 engine by sturm_ruger May 27, 2006 (11:26 am)
and CVT2 automatic are 23 city / 26 hwy. The Patriot with the same engine and a 5-speed manual trans should be close to those numbers, perhaps even slightly better.
#72 of 97 Towing Class III by tncarman May 28, 2006 (8:23 pm)
Well, I think the Patriot looks great. Jeep really did well, plus, it and its twin, the Dodge Nitro, have a Class III trailer towing capacity. Thats great. I have a 2001 Toyota Sequoia that I only drive so I can tow my boat, and I want to get a smaller SUV. These are the only two that I know of capable of towing the Chapparall. I'll definently be giving these two a look. Replies to this message: shado4 (May 30, 2006 8:31 am) frostyy (Sep 24, 2006 11:20 am) farout (Oct 02, 2006 2:06 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: tncarman (May 28, 2006 8:23 pm) The Dodge Nitro is the twin of the Jeep Liberty, not the Patriot. The Patriot is based on the same platform as the Dodge Caliber.   I highly doubt the Patriot will have a Class III trailer towing rating seeing as the most powerful engine available will be a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder.

#74 of 97 Patriot Estimates by jeffo04 Jun 08, 2006 (11:47 am)
On Jeep's page at one time they had preliminary estimates to a 2006 EPA test of 25/30 MPG, more than likely for the FWD model, but still better than I thought
