How is that anywhere close to a chick car?
Super, the Compass resembles a "chick car" because it looks too much like a MINI-VAN. Once you get married and have kids, you'll be driving a mini-van for 20 years anyway, so don't rush it with a Compass. You'll be a soccer-mom soon enough without forcing it with a Compass while you're still in college.

I don't think it looks like a mini-van, so I guess it's a matter of taste.

I've seen pictures that make it look great and others that make it look horrible.


I seriously think it depends on the color of the car and the way you look at it.

Super, I have to ask: the Compass only got ONE vote, so is that YOU voting for the car yourself, so it wouldn't experience a shutout? If we had more ladies on this board, I'm certain that they would side with you and vote for your soccer-mom SUV mini-van Compass. :)

Prof, who would want to go down memory lane about a stationwagon? This isn't That '70s Show, and that was no Vista Cruiser.

I was the first vote and I voted for the Patriot.

I've looked at the Compass and read all kinds of reviews and I like it. I've always liked the design of it and by reading the other stuff, it's convinced me to get it.

So since you have all of this new money... no more free meals, or movies from me... I am looking forward to getting the payback now!!!!! By the way it kinda looks like a glorified station wagon....

SJ, what color is your new ride?

You need to get one of those fake half soccer balls to put on your back window, like it was kicked or headed into the glass.

It's blue.

I think it looks better than the pictures. It rides great, the gas mileage is a lot better, and it looks like any other SUV.

HMO, I got the Compass. Apparently poeople have to be stupid about things and make the same cliche'd joke over and over to make up for some complex they had. I can't say I'm sorry they're probably wishing they had something half as nice as mine.

It just ticks me off that low lifes on here say crap about it. They have no clue how hard I've worked to be able to afford a car like this. How hard is it to say, "Congrats on buying your first car." It's fun at first, but when you play the same old cliche's every day it gets pretty old.

Congrats on your first new car. :D I was doing some research about my new car (used) which I love and turns out it was designed to be marketed to 30 year-old women with one child. Funny.

On a side note SJ, this is what you have to expect from I guess when you ask for opinions. Plus its hard to tell the difference on message board between rudeness, sarcasm etc...
