Before you sign for the Compass

There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 49 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, forward collision avoidance and steering; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

Under the hood

Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through an 8-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Its combined rating is 8.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 26 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $40.92 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Inside and out

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

Good uses for the Compass

It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

A longer test drive

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Compass answers the big questions. A test week in the Compass tells you more than any review. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Money matters

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $136.40 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Narrowing it down

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
