Thanks, if I were buying I'd definitely value something more reliable for the long term but don't think it matters for 3 years. I had a loaner compass and actually love it.

Do not get a jeep compass they are total junk. Stick with a crv or rav4.

Also am easy on the car and don't need extra miles. Basically the dealership will get back a super low mileage clean babied car upon return. Thanks.

I wish I were a mechanic but unfortunately did not pay attention during my childhood (dad repaired fam car) and these new cars all all dependent on software anyway. I need to lease (never again paying for repairs plus am freaked out by safety issues assoc. w them) and just want no drama, no way overpaying, etc. Any recs please share. Thank you so much.
