Unexpectedly drove something different earlier this week - the 2024 Jeep Compass Latitude. Not a press loan vehicle - my kid and I spent the long weekend around Dallas, only to wake up Monday to a canceled flight.

Rented the Jeep from the airport, and drove just under 1100 miles from a frosty DFW to Columbus in about 18 hours. Fuel economy was right around 28mpg for the entire drive where the ambient temp never got above 10 degrees.

Best guess using the build-and-price tool is right around $31k out the door for this rental-spec vehicle, which seems reasonable for a comfortable small family hauler with standard 4WD.

Forgot to share a review I published recently - the absolutely insane 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Morizo Edition. All-wheel drive, 300hp, and crazy fun. Check out the review Truth About Cars in the link in my bio.

Driving the 2023 Kia Niro this week. It's a funky little hybrid crossovery thing that gets over 50mpg in this hybrid trim - though it's available in a plug-in hybrid and full EV format, too. I dig this gray/green paint - they call it Cityscape Green. Price is $36,435 as seen here.
