My wife keeps telling me whenever we upgrade her i10, she won’t settle for anything but a Jeep.

I am a happy owner of the 2022 Jeep Compass. Mine is the base 1.4 sport Manual, completed 26000kms about a week back. I have had 2 niggles so far. First one was a loose connector to the wipers, causing them to stop working at random. Second one was when the coolant reservoir developed a small crack resulting in a leak. Luckily I noticed the small hissing and gurgling sound after turning off the engine and it was quickly replaced under warranty by Jeep ASC before coolant level went low enough to throw any overheating warnings.
This is how the leak looked:
So far I have been immensely happy about my decision. Sometimes I feel I should have extended my budget and got a higher variant, especially looking at the way they have been increasing prices.

About two months back we took part in an off-road event organised by God’s own Jeepers and supported by Jeep India. This was the one time I strongly felt I should have opted for a 4×4. Out of the 21 Jeeps that attended the event there were only two 1.4 P sport models. Me and the other guy in a petrol automatic. We both were so tensed we almost thought of giving up even before the trail started (some other non 4×4 jeep owners actually did also) But we managed to complete the trail and come out unscratched with the other more capable ones. No burnt clutch, no underbody damage, not even a rattle. To be honest, I started respecting my Compass much more after the trail.
Adding a few pics of the unforgettable experience:
