What the specs mean

It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and all-wheel drive. 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.

Practical details

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

Best uses

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Rent it for a week first

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Compass answers the big questions.

Money matters

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $136.40 at our price setting.

Choosing the right one

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
