I never planned on it but it looks like im a Jeep man!

1994 Jeep Cherokee. Paid $1,500.00


2007 Jeep Compass Paid $23,462.64!!!!!

Never buy anything from a dealer!
I paid more for the Compass' "Continuously Variable transmission upgrade" than I did for the whole cherokee
Dont get me wrong the Compass has alot of really cool features that you dont see on most cars...
But to tell you the truth the Cherokee is alot more fun
And when you look at the Cost to Fun ratio, you cant beat $1,500 for a vehicle like that

More of a Jeep "wannabe" then? It does do better than I thought it would though. When its in 4x4 it takes sand no problem, its awesome doing 60mph on curvy dirt roads rally style, and ive jumped it atleast a foot in the air (not purposley) and had no issues. But what can I say its the wifes vehicle.

The compass is a nice little jeep, nothing like a Cherokee but still its a jeep. So keep the Cherokee for the off-roading and the compass for the wifey

I agree... Love my XJ!!! 182,000 miles on it and only thing ever changed was the transfer case due to bearing failure. It has been totaled twice and I have rebuilt it and don't you know the thing just keeps going! This is my second xj and I wouldn't give it up for anything
