Jeep Car Lease Special Offers

The Jeep Compass will appeal to parents who like their SUVs to look rugged with plenty of room in the cabin.
The Compass is Jeep’s first front-wheel-drive vehicle with the rear wheels only employed when extra traction or stability is wanted.
The handling is tidy rather than exceptional with good steering and control of body movement.
However, the ride can be a touch jittery despite the all-round independent suspension which is another Jeep first
The Jeep Compass is a refined beast – no mean trick when you consider the large frontal area and big mirrors.
Wind noise kept to a minimum while the engines remain pretty quiet unless revved really hard.
The Compass is a relatively cheap car to buy in the States, so Jeep haven’t gone overboard on the interior materials with plastics feeling brittle and looking shiny.
The Compass looks a bit like a chiselled Cherokee with Jeep attempting a blend of modern and retro to tempt buyers looking for something different from the norm. By and large they succeed and image is a major selling point for the Compass
As far as the environment goes the Compass defies conventional wisdom about Jeep as carbon dioxide emissions are not at all bad.
The sad fact is though that most people will just assume it’s a gas guzzling destroyer of rain forests without checking the figures.

Modern motoring rarely calls for four-wheel drive capability, but hey the Patriot is a Jeep so it has proper off-road credentials rather than the ‘soft road’ set up of many rivals.
Thus muddy fields at school sports days or winter slush and snow are no problem for the Patriot which, in addition to all-wheel drive, also offers hill descent control as standard plus special ABS braking and traction systems that allow for slides. Extreme terrain though will catch the Patriot out as it lacks the ground clearance and low ratio gearbox for serious mud wrestling.
If you are looking for a car with road presence but not so rugged as to frighten little children then the Patriot ticks all the boxes.
It is reassuringly chunky and drives well for an SUV. Body roll is kept in check and the Patriot takes on twisty country lanes with confidence.
The seats are comfortable and the ride compliant on virtually all surfaces ensuring long journeys pass pleasantly. Yes the diesel engine is a bit noisy when you start up but it does settle down when you reach cruising speeds and little wind noise is allowed into the cabin.
