The Compass is very similar to the Caliber. I drove a 2007 Caliber last summer with 2 miles on it and I didn't care for it. I hated the interior and I thought it shifted weird. It has that CVT (continuously variable transmission) and I thought it felt odd. They also resell really cheaply. Guess the Compass gets 23/28.
Dodge's interior is too "manly" looking for me. It looks generic and too chromey. My sister-in-law has a new Charger and it looks nice on the outside, but I hate the inside.
Damn... for a moment there, I thought I was talking with my dad. He's been bitching about that for the last decade.
