About a year ago my boss, against my advice, bought a Jeep Compass. Today she mentioned how much she hated it because it was doing stupid Compass things, like leaking gas. I got to say “I told you so”, to which she replied “shut up”. She wants to get another Civic but I’m trying to convince her to get a TSX wagon.

The Compass is probably the worst newer car I’ve ever driven. Had to drive one for about an hour trip, it was miserable.

Can confirm.

I think I rented one of those to get to Glenwood Springs for work. It was awful in general and worse at altitude.

Counterpoint: convince her it was just a one-in-a-million dud, and help her find a good deal on another one. Then giggle your ass off for the rest of the year.

When you tell someone not to buy a Compass, and they do it anyways, they can not be helped. Let her get the Civic and stay away.

If I hated her, I would, but she’s seriously like a sister to me.

She’s practically my sister, so I want to help her as much as I can, but sometimes...I just can’t.

I’m surprised she made it this long with it. She even said she would have kept her Civic if it had been a 4-door (she had a baby).

I haven’t been in a Compass but I have been in a Patriot which was really bad.

Maybe a Cr-v?It’s like a civic more like a Cuvic. I like ours and it really reminds me of all my wife past civics.

Sounds like she might be one of those that doesn’t really want advice, but rather validation of her choice. If so, you can’t help her, but maybe she’ll listen this time?

Sounds like it.

I suggested the CR-V, but she said she just wants another Civic since she doesn’t plan on having anymore kids.

The only reason she sold her Civic in the first place was because it was a 2-door and she had a baby, and wanted something with 4 doors.

Fair enough.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > SilentButNotReallyDeadly...killed by G/O Media 01/16/2018 at 22:37

These are practically the same as Patriots right?

Yep

That’s what I thought. Waiting for this type of bullshit to start happening on the patriot a coworker chose over a KL cherokee for some reason that is beyond me. I don’t know how anyone could drive those two cars back to back and get out of the patriot and think yes this is fine.
