2014 much better than older models
MartyP, Sammamish, WA, 04/02/2017
2014 Jeep Compass Latitude 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
I think some reviews of this fine car suffer from past problems that have been corrected. For instance the new sealed six speed transmission is outstanding as opposed to the CVT of the past. The 2.4L engine is responsive, quiet and powerful enough, vs. the older 2.0L. The front seats are good looking and supportive. The car hugs the road and performs straight and true with no … hesitation. The upgraded sound system is wonderful. The only negatives I can find are the broken plastic front seat surrounds, the hard plastic dash, and the vision blocking pillars in the four corners. Also, the interior could use more storage cubbies like those in my daughter's older CR-V. One little irritation is that I can't gently beep the horn. It requires a hard push and is loud. All in all I love driving the car and I'm happy that it was assembled in the USA by union labor. Now, after 46,000 miles, still not a single problem. It's no exaggeration to say I absolutely love this little car.
Another Good Jeep

2014 Jeep Compass Latitude 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
We have had the Compass for 6 months now. We previously had a 2007 Liberty, and 2000 Cherokee. This Compass has been terrific despite what the "expert" reviews say. It is a CROSSOVER SUV it's not ment to be a hardcore off roader(buy a Wrangler). The 2.4L engine with 6 speed has enough power, it's not going to win the Daytona 500 but has plenty to get out of it's own way and it is very … quiet to me, unless you floor the gas pedal all the time. As a matter of fact at idle we can't hear or feel it running.
I am 6ft, 300lbs. and have no issues with interior room or comfort. Been averaging 24 to 25mpg with mixed city/hwy driving.(30 to 31mpg when we take a road trip).For $25,000 you can't beat it
Not one single problem

I bought this SUV new and I have not had any problem with it. But of course I had it serviced when it was due by a Jeep dealership.
It's a Love/Hate relationship
Neola Fritz, Hertford, NC, 05/16/2016
2014 Jeep Compass Latitude 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
First off: has been very very dependable without asking anything extra from me. Can't say that about all my relationships.
Pricey with a few "frills" missing. Like no locking "glove box" Like no electronic plug-in in the rear seat area. Like no little blinkin' lights on the left and right rear view outside mirrors to warn people I'm changing lanes. Guess that's their problem, not … mine.
Safety issue: Driver's side windshield piler is so wide that is blocks view when making left hand turns.
The frills that I LOVE are heated leather seats, rear view camera, nice to open the door and SLIDE right in (17 inch wheels!) and with the open sunroof interior slide open my hair looks gorgeous.
Front drivers seat very comfortable. Haven't ridden in the passenger seat. Well, someone had to drive.
