Before you sign for the Compass

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 49 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, forward collision avoidance and steering; have those parts checked.

The figures, translated

It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with 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.

By the EPA's combined rating of 8.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 26 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $136.40. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Room inside

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

Who rents the Compass

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Try before you buy

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If the Compass is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the Compass on your commute, then decide.

Running costs

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Which one to look for

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. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
