The Right Direction

Stealing the show, and a lot of hearts along the way, the Jeep Compass is doing a lot of things right

Every once in a while, there comes a car that garners an incredible amount of attention without even trying to. It doesn't scream out with outrageous looks or sounds; there's an air of subtlety and class that simply surrounds it and consequently draws you in. I speak, of course, about the Jeep Compass. It took top honours at the Motoring World awards for the SUV of the Year, and with completely good reason.

If you came across a Jeep Compass on the road and you haven't already seen it before, I can assure you that curiosity will get the better of you. It's got decades of history that have flowed into its design effortlessly. Most of the time, looks are a subjective matter. Not here, no. Everybody seems to be attracted to it in some way or the other. There's a warm sort of aura about it that first makes you admire it, then invites you in. It carries with it the rugged, go-anywhere, do-anything reputation that Jeep is so famously known for. And it does not disappoint.
