| Scarlett comes home | My Jeep Compass Limited (O) 4x4 | EDIT: 1,55,000 kms up! Five years and close to two lakh kms of ownership experience is a perfect window for a change/upgrade. My humble steed, the Linea MJD had served us well in the past 5 years and I had no plans to upgrade it. But, a chance test drive and some deep discounts going on for the Jeep Compass pushed me over the edge to upgrade from the Linea. The temptation to bring the Jeep home was too much and resistance was futile. Right from the launch of Jeep Compass in June 2017, I’ve had an eye on it. Not just for the looks, but the ride handling as well. I was thoroughly impressed when I took a test drive, way back in 2017. However, Linea was doing its job perfectly and we didn’t feel the need for an upgrade then. But things changed in March 2019. Oh! we never know on what life has in store for us! I did think about retaining the Linea as a spare car. But it was not a viable option for us due to budget constraints. Also, the Linea will be driven sparingly with the Jeep in the garage and it’s bad to leave such a great car unused. So, after a lot of thought, we decided to let go of the Linea for a Jeep Compass. A quick summary based on my experience so far: Likes

| How it all happened? How it all started? It was March, 2019 and the plan was to keep the Linea as long as it will run trouble-free. Combined with Linea’s very low resale value, it didn’t make much sense to sell it. And, I was looking forward to the 2 lakh kms milestone on the ODO. Sometime in March, the ODO crossed 190K Kms and we had a trip planned during the summer vacations to Sikkim with the tentative start date around March last week. But, due to a family emergency, we had to cancel this drive. Trigger 1: Now with the Sikkim drive canceled, my daily routine of researching on the google map and places around Sikkim came to an abrupt end. Around the same time, KHT Jeep did a Jeep Compass promotional display in my office campus. My colleagues and I went for a casual look and see (Of course, we never miss to check display cars of any brand that come to advertise there), checked the Jeep and collected the sales pamphlets. I had a short discussion with the KHT guys available there about exchanging the Linea and they gave me some good quotes. They offered me to bring the Jeep to my home during the weekend for a test drive. I, however didn’t want to go on a test drive because I was sure it will put me in a bind and make me choose between the Linea and the Jeep. Coincidentally, the very next day Tata Harrier was on display at the same location in my office campus and as was the norm, my colleagues and I visited and checked the Harrier out and made some comparison between Compass and Harrier as the Jeep display experience was still fresh on our minds. This triggered some interest in me to look for a replacement for the Linea but I was not really serious about it. Checking out the Compass Trigger 2: A week passed and I came across a brand new Jeep showroom (PPS Jeep) on the Hosur road near Electronic city. This was close to the NICE road exit. So, on a lazy Sunday afternoon with nothing to do(we were actually supposed to be in Sikkim that day), we decided to visit this new Jeep showroom (PPS Motors, Electronic City, Hosur Road). Again the plan was to just check the Jeep and not to go on a test drive. The showroom had not officially opened then and all their test drive cars were brand new. Their service advisor (Mr. Vinay) insisted that we go on a test drive right then. With NICE road just half a KM away, I couldn’t resist. So, we did just that. It was a 4x2 model and I test-drove it on the NICE road. Later, we took it on some bad roads off the NICE road as well. I loved the drive experience and so did my wife and kids. Instant liking during the test drive:
So on a day when were supposed to be roaming around Sikkim in the Linea, we were sitting in Bangalore thinking about exchanging the Linea for a Compass. The unthinkable was happening and we couldn’t stop it from happening. My main confusion was about the timing of this upgrade whether to go ahead with this upgrade then or wait till end of 2019 for the BS6 to kick in and then go for the upgrade.

| Why not Harrier, Hexa, Crysta, Hector, Creata ? Why not Harrier? It is a good value for money SUV. It is spacious and has a good long list of features too. Here are few things which went against it,
With Crysta in similar price range of Compass and Hexa being cheaper than Compass, the question was why not consider these cars as well before taking a decision on Compass. These two are proper 7-seaters with Hexa being a good VFM car and Crysta scoring high on long term reliability and low maintenance cost. However for our family requirements, it is very rare that we will be using the 3rd row seats. Also, I drive on a daily basis within the city during peak hours. So, I didn’t want to lug the additional overhead of two seats. I also felt that these cars are little longish. So, it didn’t make much sense to go for either of these. Despite the above thoughts, I did go and check with Toyota for exchange offers but they don’t buy back cars which has run more than 1.5L Kms apparently. I didn’t make any more efforts. It felt like my mind was already fixed on Compass and I was just finding reasons to remove the other contenders from the list ![]() With Bhpian speeedsatya's Crysta Why not XUV 500?
With the aggressive pricing of Hector, did we miss waiting for Hector?! Nope, no regret at all.
I never had the liking for Creta. The top end diesel Creta is selling at close to 20L and it is just over-priced for me. I wouldn’t have mentioned Creta here, but many asked me on why I didn’t go for Creta instead of Compass.

| Booking and Delivery (PPS / MPS Motors, Hosur Road) Booking and Delivery (PPS / MPS Motors, Hosur Road): There were two MY 2018 manufactured car readily available and both were 4x4 Limited Black Pack version. This version comes with black interiors and black roof/blackened alloys. We liked the black interiors as this will make the interior maintenance easier when compared to white interiors. However we didn’t want a Grey or Silver color car, which were the Blackpack versions available. Our hearts were fixed on a flaming red Jeep Compass. So, we went ahead and booked a MY 2018 Red dual tone which had to be shipped from the plant. Pre-delivery Inspection: Thanks to bhpian nkrishnap and my friend Dipin for assisting me with the PDI. It went fine without any issues. Delivery: It was a smooth affair and mine was the first Jeep Compass to be booked and delivered at this showroom. Few of my friends joined in as well to celebrate the moment with us. Last edited by arun_josie : 7th September 2019 at 18:41. |

| 4X4 Review: 4X4 Review: I have not made use of the 4x4 yet. Only time I engaged 4x4 was on a beach near Kanyakumari. I will update this space later with my experience. Some technical information from the manual about enabling Four Wheel Drive (4x4), 4WD LOCK: The Power Transfer Unit (PTU) is locked to ensure immediate availability of torque to the rear drive axles. This feature is selectable in AUTO mode and automatic in the other driving mode. 4WD LOCK can be enabled by the following ways: • When the 4WD LOCK button is pushed. • When the Selec-Terrain switch is rotated from AUTO to any other off-road modes. Auto: This four-wheel drive operation is a continuous operation, is fully automatic and can be used on and off road. This mode balances traction to ensure maneuverability and acceleration improvement compared to a vehicle with two wheel drive. This mode also reduces fuel consumption, since it allows the disconnect of the drive shaft where conditions permit. Snow: This mode allows you to have greater stability under conditions of bad weather. For use on and off road on surfaces with poor traction, such as roads covered with snow. When in SNOW mode (depending on certain operating conditions), the transmission may use second gear (rather than first gear) during launches, to minimize wheel slippage. Sand: For off-road driving or use on surfaces with poor traction, such as dry sand. The transmission is set to provide maximum traction. Mud: For off-road driving or use on surfaces with poor traction, such as roads covered by mud or wet grass. Last edited by arun_josie : 7th September 2019 at 19:51. |

| Scheduled Maintenance / Extended Warranty / Service History Maintenance Schedule:
Extended Warranty:
Service History: First Service (@ 5,000 Kms): This was done at PPS Motors (Hosur Road) when ODO had crossed 4500 Kms. There were no issues except for some intermittent mild rattle from the driver side door. This was not attended as I couldn’t replicate the issue. Being a free service and no replacements involved, the bill was Zero. Second Service (@ 15,000 Kms):
Next scheduled servicing is at 30,000 Kms. However since I did this service at around 14,000 Kms, next will be at 29,000 Kms for me. Fuel Efficiency:
Tips:
Fuel efficiency - Full Tank method Vs MID ![]() May not be much of a relevance here, but here is a comparison between my 3 MJDs, Compass (Blue) Vs Linea (Red) Vs Dzire (Green) ![]() ![]() During our long drives, there were times when the FE was hovering around 18+ about 100kms into the drive but then the engine tempts you to push a little harder and I end up with FE in the range of 14-17 Kmpl. PPF/Detailing @ Krithi Car Care (https://krithicarcare.com/): There were no plans to get detailing done for the Compass. But after few drives on the highway, I started seeing paint chips due to the stone hits. With the bright red exterior, such chips were showing up very prominently. So, decided to put a coat of PPF. This lead to the detailing work as well. I got the SB3 Trinity ceramic coat and the self healing paint protection film(Hexis BodyFence PPF) on the bonnet and bumper. Excellent work by the guys at Krithi Car Care Last edited by arun_josie : 14th September 2019 at 14:11. Reason: As requested |

Thanks for sharing, Arun! ![]() Your Linea ownership thread was one of my favourite reports on the forum. Was a little disappointed to see you exchange it just before hitting the 2L mark, but all that is now well and truly compensated seeing the way your Jeep has raced to 20k kms within just a few months! Wishing you lakhs of kilometers of happy ownership! ![]() Last edited by CrAzY dRiVeR : 14th September 2019 at 14:46. |

| re: Scarlett comes home - My Jeep Compass Limited (O) 4x4. EDIT: 1 year & 42,186 kms up! A very precise and apt review. Being a compass owner I was in same state of mind seven eight months ago when I bought my Compass. I test drove Harrier and somehow could not connect it from my heart even though I liked its design. Jeep was at always at the back of my mind even though I test drove it only when it was launched. My mind was stating to wait for few months for Kia Seltos and Hector launch which was impending but somehow my heart was sold on Compass after having driven it and secondly it was suitable for my needs. It was mostly highway driving and also rear seats not put to use ninty percent of time. Driving pleasure being one of main considerations. I can say I am happy to have followed my heart. And then Autocarindia India published its comparison review between Compass, Harrier and declared the Harrier a winner even though it praised Compass on most important parameters. I am not running down Harrier. It's a very good SUV but somehow it lacked something which I couldn't place. Then when I read a very neutral review about harrier in this forum by GTO I felt vindicated about my decision to have followed my heart. ![]() Last edited by ampere : 9th December 2019 at 07:39.
