Used 2007 Jeep Compass Sport 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
Dissappointed
I bought the Jeep Compass because I had heard it was a great little SUV along with great reliability....I was very wrong!! I have had the brand new Jeep for only three months and just last week the transmission went out, and it only has 8,000 miles! The passenger door makes a loud screeching noise every time you open it and the rear doors are not even flush with the car. i have to say that is one of the cheapest, and most unreliable cars I have ever owned!
It's great for what it was designed.
I had a 1967 TLC wagon (rebuilt with bored out engine), lots of torque, tons of gas pulls Jeeps out of the ditch, traded an Audi Allroad wagon for the Compass and it gets better gas mileage and feels safer, is quieter to drive than my Sportster. People are complaining because it's not a luxury vehicle and not an off-roader...ya think! Ask Jeep - that's the point of the Compass.

Run away
Bought this car used as is with 107k miles, dealer who sold it to me stated it had been completely throughly checked. Lies. Not even 600 miles after purchasing transmission went out on it left me stranded on a holiday weekend 200 miles from home and 200 miles from destination. Had to replace tie rods, wheel bearings, clutch, struts, gaskets, etc list can go on. This thing has been a penny picker since day one it’s now paid off does good in snow if you have good tires. Gas tank is faulty ONLY 12 gal tank! Tiny. The sensor or something is out when fueling I have to barely squeez nozzle to fuel up and the gage is broken. I regularly maintain this vehicle, but it’s very costly after so much stuff keeps going wrong with it. I’ll never get my moneys worth out of it.

A COMPLETE Shocker
Contrary to what some reviewers have said, I was blown away on all fronts by the Compass. The comfort of the drive is astounding. The handling and power is better than my wife's $50,000 sports car (I am not kidding. Her exact words were "Oh my gosh; honey! It's amazing"), the gas mileage is nothing short of amazing- we have recorded between 29 and 30 mpg on the freeway. The style of interior design is on par with similarly priced other makes; however the actual layout is extremely functional- everything is naturally where it should be- the little added touches (removable flashlight, power outlets, LOTS of storage, and seats that all fold flat to create a HUGE cargo area) are great too
Horrible Vehicle
I have had my Jeep for 8 months and I have now gone through 3 transmissions and also ABS sensors. I bought this car hoping that it would get me through college and unfortunately it has done nothing but give me problems and make me never want to purchase a Jeep again! If I were you I would not buy a Jeep compass and especially one with a manual!
