-   -   Jeep Compass : Official Review (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/official-new-car-reviews/189786-jeep-compass-official-review-87.html)

Exactly the same reason why I haven't purchased the Compass yet - Diesel Automatic.
But now it has become so late that more better & newer option of cars seem to be coming to market. Sigh !

One interesting thing though - post discounts, the BMW X1 (10-12 lacs discount) may not be very far from the top Jeep Compass automatic variant. So, that may be an option for you too...

Beautiful machine Arun Josie. Congratulations. clap:

Compass in red is still one car that turns my head every single time, though I've started getting used to the other colours on offer.

Totally different ballgame - because maintaining a BMW (even with BSI) and the associated societal impact is way different than owning a Compass.

Congratulations buddy. Married again from the same family stupid:. Wishing you a lot of joyful miles.

I have always said the same. Jeep has literally put themselves in this position thanks to the pricing strategy. The Diesel AT top end would touch 30L OTR Delhi. The X1 top end (non M sport) costs around 44L OTR Delhi. A 12L discount takes that figure bang in the territory of the Compass Diesel AT. I would certainly pick the X1 over the Compass for the sheer driving pleasure alone, leave aside the badge and all.

Thanks for your kind words.

Yes, I am planning to write one but it may take some time.

Thanks again Sujai! My favorite colour too :D.

First innings was successful. So, this ended up as a straightforward decision:)

Welcome to the Jeep club, sir! The Compass is a worthy upgrade to your Linea. Red Compass looks very hot and we wanted one in red when we bought one. But then, we (my uncle) needed a car soon. With no choice went ahead with the Compass Limited in white. We still regret of not getting the red but then, we still got the car we wanted. It's been a bit more than a year and the car has done close to 30,000 kms on the odo and the car is doing its duties well.

Hope you put the AWD system on the Compass to a good use :D

Cheers!

Thanks Varun :thumbs up

Good to hear about the trouble-free ownership of your uncle's Compass. Yes, at the end of the day it's the driving experience that keeps us happy than the colour of the car:)

Took a test drive of the Compass with my cousin. Except for the stiffer ride, we were impressed. If only there had been a Diesel Auto. Few pictures of new Sport plus trim from the showroom:

ODO Reset issue:

During delivery, the ODO was @11Kms, later after driving around 15Kms I refueled and reset the trip meters. This means, the ODO would have been around 26 Kms. And the trip A/trip meters @ Zero.

After driving few Kms, I noticed that ODO was same as the trip A/ trip B meter. This means that I somehow reset the ODO when I reset the trip A/ tripB meter.

I have reset the trips meter again but now the ODO number is intact. So, it looks like the ODO can be reset once. Before the first reset the ODO had a "H" as prefix. But after reset, this "H" has disappeared.

Has anyone noticed this? I have updated the service center guys (PPS Motors) and awaiting their response.

I am not sure on what action of mine reset the ODO, since I was exploring the different options available on the dashboard and the buttons in the steering wheel.

I think this is called a transport mode. All Morden cars can be reset to zero once in the life time. This reset will not work once the car has crossed 200-250 kms( probably varies based on the manufacturer). Nothing to be worried about.

Congratulations on the beast. Drive safe

Cheers.

I'm surprised you didn't know about the "H" having owned a Fiat car before this.

• The H is present when the car comes out from the factory
• The odometer can be reset only once when this H is present. After the reset, the 'H' won't be displayed again.
• If you do not reset, it disappears automatically when ODO crosses 200km.

They have created a cushion of 200kms for vehicle movement after it is manufactured till it is delivered tot he customer. For example driving the car within in their factory, during transportation, in the dealer yard, showroom etc.
Basically the dealer can reset the ODO to zero at the time of delivering to the customer. But most of them do not do it to show that it is not even reset once. If it is reset, there is no way to find out when it was done. The actual mileage would be X kms (some reading below 200 km) + new odo reading.

I am very much aware about the "H" indication in Fiat:), but I didn't know that there is an option to reset the ODO.

Yes, in Linea the "H" disappeared at around 200Kms.

Hi could you give your feedback on whether the suspension is stiffer than Creta and BRV?

0-100 : Jeep Compass 2.0 MJD (2WD)

Autocar: 9.97 seconds
Zigwheels: 10.03 seconds

I believe this is new data , they had done it during comparison shootout with other SUVs.

I remember the timing was mid 11s for 4WD Compass , when it was launched. Jeep had also updated the ECU map for Compass. Lesser weight + Updated map should have helped in improving the timing by almost 1.5 seconds .
