    Jeep compass any thoughts good or bad??

    I have a few Jeeps... The Cherokee and Renegade burn a bit of oil, but I'm not really concerned about that. It could be a concern for others.

    200,000 miles is in fact rare, only 1% of vehicles reach it

    I had a little Toyota Yaris hit 201k, then I sold it to my brother-in-law who absolutely loves little cars for some reason. The guy collects classic mustangs, and little cars.

    Test Drove a '19 Crosstrek

    I really don't know why anyone can make an argument against the Subaru AWD. The cars are designed from the ground up to be AWD. This isn't some bolt on PTU solution they came up with to make a FWD car become AWD. They design them from scratch to be nothing but AWD.
