Because everything Chrysler drops them in is a gigantic pile of dog poop.
Edit: I get it, you own a Chrysler and love it. I'm not saying something bad about you personally, so please don't take it that way. I've owned lots of cars that gave me headaches but I loved and overlooked the flaws (I'm looking at you RX-7!!!). Drive what you love, enjoy it, and ignore all the haters like me. K, can we hug it out now?
how so? the demon has a version of that engine and breaks records, although I don't get it the trackhawk is still the fastest and best over all sport suv there is so I'm not sure what you are referring to
Because it’s a Chrysler and 50k miles down the road (being generous) will be plagued with electric issues or a transmission exploding. I’ve owned a Jeep and a 300, both had ridiculous electrical problems, like the HVAC controls failing, or the factory alarm draining the battery every two days. The 300 needed a new transmission at 60k miles. Chrysler makes junk vehicles. Period.
There is more to how good a vehicle is then how fast it is in a 1/4 mile.
my family once rented a Jeep compass in south america. biggest mistake ever lol. The thing couldnt even make it up the same hills as the honda civic without the AWD slipping constantly
I know Jeep has a vehicle built on the Fiat 500 platform, but I don't think that is the Compass. I'm pretty sure the Compass still has a solid rear axle, and I would guess if it had problems getting up a hill that had more to do with the tires than the vehicle itself. Even a 2WD truck with some good AT tires can climb pretty well.
Ah yes, that's it. It does have a lot of cool Easter eggs hidden on it though. Chrysler does that a lot with their designs. The 200C had an outline of the Detroit skyline in the center console tray, but they removed the GM building from the skyline lol.
LOLOL I never knew they removed the GM building from it, thats pretty damn funny! I always hated that stupid renegade, it is so damn ugly and just looks like a piece of shit. Same for GM they came out with the Chevy Trax, that thing is a shit box
it was a while ago but I think I remember there being at least 60% tread left on the tires. it was a dry asphalt road with a fairly steep grade. Other cars drove it while the compass couldn’t quite make it over the crest of the hill. Maybe it was just a lemon rental car though, those rides have usually been somewhat abused by other people beforehand.
yeah, probably cheap tires considering it was in a rural town in costa rica. Still, it left a bad impression. I wont be renting another jeep unless its an open-top wrangler.
Mother of god, the Jeep Compass is an abomination. It might get better at higher trim levels, but I rented one to drive from Chicago to Colorado Springs and it was atrocious. That stupid CVT needs to stop pretending to be a geared trans and just do its job (keeping the engine at peak power/efficiency). 158hp and 19:1 gear reduction my ass. It did make it up Pike's Peak, so I'll give it points there, but I suspect my Mercury Mountaineer would have had an easier time.
