Jeep Compass test drive since 2006 crossover

He bit

The main thing is to inflate the cheeks
His appearance is low -exciting. But you never know if someone will like the face of an overeating hamster. The idea of \u200b\u200bthe compass was strange from the very beginning. The nozzle of the relatively successful Dodge Caliber, he assumed in advance the appearance of another brother in the summer of 2008. Jeep Patriot (Name of plagiarism: either borrowed from the state missile system, or from the Ulyanovsk miracle) looks fundamentally pretty than this device. Come on, not to drink water from his face ... how is he going?
 
Not bad in dynamics. For nothing that the motor is quite powerful, and the variator, by definition, does not lose time to switch. Elasticity acceleration in certain speed ranges is also better than that of opponents. But the car howls with a vigor of acceleration, be healthy. But, as usual in perfect machines with a variator, with the help of a selector you can simulate fixed gears. It turns out quite well.
 
The controllability is worse. The steering wheel is empty and with zero problems. But you can adopt, although in the turns of the Jeep Compass behaves like an average front -wheel drive, but in terms of smoothness it plays out glasses. The energy -intensive suspension willingly swallows both large bumps and small bumps. It seems to be a reason to earn a compliment, but again, the hard plastic of the salon groans on the pits again on the pits. And this is one of the most annoying moments in evaluating a not too cheap car. Oak, chopped interior elements seemed to have no sound insulation at all. On irregularities, all this nightmare plastic shirtly shakes, creating the impression of a strong abbreviation and incompetence.
 
The review is also problems: brake dynamics seems to be nothing, but ABS turns on a little earlier than we would like. In gravel it will be dangerous. Due to the wide racks, small windows and low landing (and the ceiling interferes with driving up) the driver does not have a feeling of control over the surrounding landscape. Three rear headrests, even in the lower position, completely clipped the review. The embrasures are clearly cut down under the aggressive image of ALA Hummer. Instead, it turned out a notorious, clogged and shocked creature.
 
The comfort of landing in front is not enough side support, the skin is slippery, you go forward from the seats. The steering wheel does not have a departure adjustment, for the left elbow there is no shelf on the sheathing of the door. And in the second row, in addition to the cramped knees, the highest thresholds and top doorways interfere. One comfort for the feet is full of space under the front seats. And the openers of the rear doors here, according to the whimsical will of the creators, are made vertical in Alfa-Romeo's style quite inconvenient.
 
On a dirt road, a compass seems to be better than cars, but it still loses to competitors. The wheels of the jeep are limp, with difficulty digging to solid soil. But his clearance is the greatest. But then at the lower point, and large overhangs make you remember the cost of painting varnished unprotected bumper.

The chopped interior worked from booming plastic is depressing.

What American does not like fast driving? I ask you, tell me, huh? Well, here the compass flies well.
When driving, the car is rolling, it does not hold the trajectory, and the ESP is noticeably delayed in reactions.

On the back sofa is spacious, and you look forward over the heads. But climb narrowly.

The chairs are beautiful and even comfortable, but the location above the floor in the corner and height is incorrect.

Pretty deep and capacious (645/1520 l) the trunk is decorated with such a bellied bift as a powerful double speaker. It can be thrown back and listen to rap on the forest edge.
