A New Contender Emerges

This week Mike finally bought a new car. :) It's a Subaru Impreza Wagon and I must say it's pretty nice. A good blend of sportiness with practicality and good mileage. It's gotting me thinking about cars again, even though I still have no idea when I'll be buying a car or how much I'll be able to spend on it, and then an ad came on TV the other day that's gotten me really excited. It was for a new car called the Jeep Compass.

We all know how much I love the Cherokee, and I really am planning on getting a small car is for mileage anyway, and now Jeep is releasing a small SUV that gets 26 city, 30 highway for mileage and starts at like 16 thousand, so I am very very interested to see what people think of it over the next months. I configured one to my liking on Jeep's website today and it came to under 19 thousand, even with some nice features like better seats and floor mats and an auxiliary input so I could use an iPod (or any other audio device) with the system without requiring a tape deck or an FM transmitter.

I really hope this thing turns out to be good, because it's pretty much the perfect vehicle I would design for myself.
