Took delivery of a Compass diesel AT Anniversary: Initial impressions

Car feels great to drive, steering feel is a bit heavy but offers that connected feel for sure.

BHPian motorworks recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Happy to share that my family and I took delivery of the Jeep Compass diesel AT Anniversary edition just yesterday! It looks absolutely smashing in this Pearl White shade with black and grey highlights.

Managed to avoid the most recent price increase since I booked the car in the 3rd week of August and I also happened to choose the Pearl White shade which was in transit. If I had opted for any another colour which was not in transit then I would have most probably ended up paying the increased prices, which by the way is quite a lot!

Initial impressions:

Car feels great to drive, steering feel is a bit heavy but offers that connected feel for sure. Interiors in black are a huge boon, I just cannot imagine maintaining the regular beige interiors.

On the negative side, I came across a paint issue on the passenger side front door. Its quite small and almost unnoticeable, but it feels like a paint patch job, maybe at the dealer or the Factory, not sure. The dealer has assured that they will check with the service centre on what can be done.

Secondly, I hear a very weird “gurgling” sort of noise, very faint, but I can hear it when there is absolute silence. I think its from the tyres or the engine. Or maybe im thinking too much, i dont know. The brakes have some creaking noise when i start the car, the sales executive mentioned that this noise would be there for the first 100 kms or so. And the AT gear box too feels a bit hard. Anyway, i think I will use the car for a month or so and then go to the service centre if need be.
