A 2.4 Compass or the new 2.0T?

2.4. I was hoping it was a 2.0T

 

[68RT]

I don’t recall too many details, but the zig-zag shifter was annoying. The seating position was terrible. And I felt like I could get out and run faster than it accelerated. To say I was disappointed when I found out what we were getting would be an understatement. But, it did get us from A to B, and that’s what we required.

Had two Corollas and both had a flat board for the seat back. Never had a Mopar that the seat caused my back to tighten up.

I recall the seats in my TJ weren't very comfortable, but it was a TJ, so I wasn't expecting much. The seats in my Liberty were pretty comfortable, even after 18 years and 180k miles. The leather was still in pretty good shape too.

When you return to the dealer, ask to drive a 2.0T and give us a comparison. It would be great to hear from someone who can give an honest side by side.

The seats in our Commander are the same way. 230k miles and they are fine. No rips or tears, and I'm a big guy.

The leather was very durable! We’ll see how the cloth and artificial materials we’re stuck with now hold up over time. Neither myself, nor my wife are that big, so the durability test for us is the kids and the dogs. Lol.

These are cloth seats. Very boring to look at, but tough.

We don’t have any cloth seats in our current vehicles, Active X in one and leather in our two older vehicles. Once they’re traded in, no more leather for us…or as little as possible. I don’t necessarily mind cloth, it just depends on what kind….look & feel. The cloth seats we had in our old Ion were terrible, well the entire interior was terrible, so that’s not saying much. With kids & dogs, I much prefer something I can just wipe off. Vinyl would be just fine by me.

Update on my car's condition. In case someone wants to know what a Grand Cherokee L looks like with some of its clothes removed.

Well an update They are waiting on two brackets that have to be removed and welded back in place. The two radiator supports.
