Jeep Compass

My beloved Bronco is in the shop, and the insurance company and Enterprise have provided me with a Jeep Compass. It's a cute little SUV, and I've determined that I could regularly drive a non-Full-size SUV, just not the Jeep Compass. I can't figure out why Jeep decided to put the controls for the headlights on the turn signal control. For that matter, why are the windshield wiper controls on a mirror image of the turn signal control??? Plus, the front section of the cockpit (cabin, if you prefer)is compartmentalized, which keeps you confined to the driver's third of the cockpit - I like a good deal of leg room on longer drives, and this configuration denies the driver that.

Additionally, the vehicle seems a little underpowered (not sure if it's a V-6 or a four-banger, but it has nowhere near the power my '98 Explorer's 4.0L V-6 had), and if I'm entering the highway with my A/C on, I am a little worried about coming up to speed quickly enough - the same issue exists in any situation that I am looking for solid acceleration in.

The other downside is that the Compass is so low to the ground, that I am riding at the same level as the people driving sedans and coupes, and when I look for it in a parking lot, it is easily obscured by just about every other vehicle in the lot.

So all in all, I 've learned that I can deal with a less than full-sized SUV, and the Compass may be OK for some people, but it lacks the size that I require in an SUV.
