Sorry to say but GoFaster has it right.The one I drove was the old one...I think. It had an automatic transmission and switchable four wheel drive. I was in a big rush so didn't examine it that closely.
2016-on transmission has a different part number. It isn't known what's changed inside, but indications are that it is much better sorted. They sell enough Cherokees with that same transmission (although most of those are attached to the 3.2 Pentastar V6)New Compass - There are a few on dealer lots and many in transit. Wonder if the 9 speed is sorted out yet.
Not a diesel and I have no idea what was under the hood.The only flaw was the steering being a little too quick. It took a while for the suspension to catch up when I turned at high speed and I think an emergency move at 80 mph could get sketchy.The most impressive thing was the seats, seating position, arm rests and big fat padded steering wheel. All that stuff was perfect for long cruising.
I was flogging it pretty good and it got 24.xxx mpg going from Wisconsin to DC in 2WD. Not great, but not bad. I was just wondering if anyone else on here had any experience with them. The wife is getting interested in all that "sit up high, be safe, small SUV stuff"
Thinking about upgrading the fleet. The compass is not very expensive and there might be enough money left for a 2017 GTI with Sport Pack after the 4k discount on the GTI and unloading the old cars.
What I meant was a lot of running at 80 mph, which abuses nothing but fuel economy. And who in their right mind would buy a rental car ? Hundreds of owners and no maintenance.Which is the reason (mostly) rental units are generally shunned and lowballed come resale time.
