Purchased As New

We purchased our 2008 compass sport in October of 2008. We have had over six months now, so I will put my review up. There are far more pro than cons, in my opion to many to list. So I will focus on the Cons to help those who will consider buying one or not. There is some road noise, but I belive it also depends on the road surface which will affect any vehicle, try on a black top paved highway and concrete... WE are a family of five three girls age 14, 7, and 5 and they fit in the back seat comfortable for the 2 hour drive to visit the grand parents, but for long hauls, I will admit, I believe more could have be done to make the driver and front passenger seats more comfortable. It has an AC outlet in the center console, but only one DC outlet on the dash, so if you have a radar detector and a GPS, you can't use both, unless you buy a single to dual DC adapter. Finally it has PWR windows, and locks, but the front passenger door does not have a lock / unlock button. This is minor in my opion, but still noticable after you have the vehicle. Finally, I will say the vehicles where initiall being sold at to high a price 20K. You should be able to get into a 4X2 sport 2.4l engine with automatic tranmission and power windows, locks, and cruise control for around 16,500 not including tax. That is a very fair and good deal for this vehicle. As far ar reliability, I have had no issue yet, and no vehicle should have issues at 7 months, LOL. Time will tell. Hope this helps
