Remember the movie "Twins?"
Here is our Jeep version of it. You can guess which one is Arnold!
The wife needed a new Jeep as a daily driver and the Compass was her choice. As a daily driver it beats the Rubi in comfort, highway manners, and gas mileage (Duh!). It's a fun little Jeep to drive, but for off road use we'll take the Rubi (Double duh!)

I tell you what, I was very impressed with the compass for the price. I liked the leg room in the back and if I remember correctly the back seat tilts/angles back too.

My Wrangler has a Teraflex 2.5 lift with 35 inch Pro Comp Mud Terrain Extreme tires. I have 5.13 gears too. Its a LoD front bumper with a Warn M8000 winch.
Alex,
Yeah, been busy lately. Sorry to hear about your accident. Always glad to run Casparis if schedule allows.
Mongo,
The rear seats fold forward, and so does the front passenger side. It's makes for good storage. But for us, if its big, we'll just take the Rubi to haul it. I'm 6 foot and the front and rear of the Compass are comfortable for me.
We live in the mountains of PA and the Compass does better up the steep roads than the Rubi despite the gear change. I really don't like the engine/computer control/gas pedal system on the Rubi. The power is there but until someone comes out with a really good reprogrammer, it just doesn't shift the way I think it should.
By the way, the auto manual shift thing on the Compass is a hoot. I wish we had it on the Wranglers.
