The Liberty was a mediocre vehicle but next to nothing competes with the Compass or the Patriot. That was Jeep's answer to the Neon. Take an awful idea and then execute it poorly and you end up with the Jeep Compass.

The Neon was an attempt by Chrysler to get into the compact car market and compete with actual decent vehicles like the Civic. They did it with cut-rate parts and poor engineering. Chrysler (via Jeep) was attempting to get into the small crossover segment with the Compass and took the same route - cut-rate parts and a shitty design to yield an absolutely awful vehicle. The new compass might not be a piece of shit; early returns are promising. But that first gen was just hot garbage. The back end would actually come off the ground under heavy braking, it was just that bad.

I just finished putting one tons under it and a set of beadlock wheels. Got a couple things left to complete the axle install. Mounting hydraulic assist steering and rear shock mounts. Mounting a winch. Removing the hard top and making a soft roof. Planning on being ready for a Memorial weekend wheeling trip.

Getting back to questions that are "as gay as Clay."
Is there still a recommendation on changing engine oil based on length of time passed. My wife's Civic goes 5-6k before the oil life reading dips below 30%, which is when we change it. This happens about twice per year as she drives about 12k miles. If I start driving her car and only put about 6k miles on it for the year (shorter commute), can I go a full year without changing the oil or should I still do it every 6 months? Also, looking at purchasing a Mazda CX-9. The 2.5 L, 4 cylinder turbo has quite a bit more getup than I expected from a full size SUV. Much more so than the V6 offered on prior year models and obviously the V6's have worse gas mileage as well. I figured there would be quite a turbo lag but it sure doesn't feel like it to me. I read that Mazda does the following to combat turbo lag. Quote:

Sounds like something that's gonna break. But I haven't done much reading on it.

I knew you'd say that. Looks like the 7 year warranty covers most things like that. Mazda reliability has been pretty good recently. Never know though.

Sauto, you missed my first question. Thank you sir.
