"Sharing a platform with the Dodge Caliber, Compass blends homely looks with unrefined manners to a degree not seen since the unlamented Pontiac Aztek."
"Having a clutch pedal would do nothing for the ride quality. Catch a moderate-size bump with one rear wheel, and the Compass dances like a politician asked a controversial question."
"The dashboard is built up of more than a dozen pieces, most made of cheap-looking shiny plastics. In a Caliber or base Compass, you might say ?okay,? but at $26,000-plus, the cabin isn?t in the game. The argument for building up a dash of separate pieces, rather than joining the trend toward a one-piece look, is that it improves serviceability. Makes us wonder why they anticipate a need to service things inside the dashboard."
