Lots of plastic is good, easy to clean. Manual transmission has more than enough power to get through the grapevine faster than anyone else. A bit tight in the knee area for tall guys, but plenty of room to make up for it in other places. Cargo space may seem small, but I just went on a 4 day camping trip with 2 other people, no problem fitting all our stuff in.
Great SUV Love it

I love this SUV. Traded a 2004 Civic in on one. Insurance went way down payment stayed the same. This is an SUV that is good on gas and great on the road. I feel so much safer.

Loving My Compass

I've read quite a number of reviews on the Compass which would normally deter me from buying it. After test driving the Compass, I loved it. I traded in my Vibe. The Compass is quieter, rides much smoother (doesn't ride like a typical 4 cyl), more roomy. I've only put about 2,000 miles on it so far. It has plenty of pep for me and I'm getting about 30 mpg. People need to take a more serious look at the Compass, despite what the critics say. I don't have all the bells and whistles on my Compass which made it extremely affordable for me and quite the bargain.
Good looking; Good runner

I love the way the Jeep Compass handles, darting in and out of lanes, feels tight and in control. The CVT feels very good, and I have not noticed any problems when merging on the highway. I own a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, and I like driving the Compass more than the Limited. I can live with the interior in the Compass, because I opted for the 26E package, and it has all the same stuff as my 96 Limited, plus I got a sun roof and satellite radio.
Can't get parts from Crysler after 14 years

This first year model of the Compass was a cheap car, and marketed as such. It served me faithfully for 14 years before I decided that keeping it would become too expensive. In the middle of that time, I replaced the alternator, a common problem, which required removal of the air conditioner compressor, an extra expense. Shortly after that the AC developed a tiny leak, which was easy to top up occasionally. So far, I called it a dependable car. I live in the California desert, so had to repair rodent damage to the wiring several times. That wasn't the car's fault, but I did hate its habit of just suddenly going crazy in the middle of traffic. BUT, toward the end of its life, it suddenly refused to run. Chrysler said I needed a new computer. They would charge $900 to install a new one, but they were unable to get one from Mopar. The car was junk without one. My partner discovered that there were many reconditioned ones offered on the web. We bought one for less than $200, and the dealer installed it without warranty, which was reasonable. They charged me $250 to set it in the car and plug in two cables. I guess that was reasonable given that they stored the car for almost two weeks. But then, at 104,000 miles, it refused to start, claiming an electronic throttle malfunction. I bypassed Chrysler and bought a throttle on the web. But then the car started normally, so I traded it for a middle-aged Prius and returned the throttle. I didn't worry about deceiving the buying dealer, since I only got $1000 and I'm sure that they will sell it for scrap value. My advice is, don't try to push this model past 100,000 miles. I believe that newer Compass models may be built substantially better, as they're asking a lot more money for them now.
