If you're an asthmatic who has had the joy of running full-tilt in a soccer game without first taking a few hauls off of your trusty inhaler, you've got an idea of what it's like to be the 2007 Jeep Compass. You'd be much happier walking at a slow pace, or even sitting down for awhile. Just like a punch of this Jeep's go pedal suggests that it would rather be sitting idle in traffic, or maybe parked somewhere looking, well, ugly. Making the experience even worse are a CVT transmission that fails to effectively deliver what little power there is, mediocre handling, and seats that are about as hospitable as a splintery park bench.
