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

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.

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!

John's 2007 Jeep Compass Review

2007 Jeep Compass Sport 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
2 of 3 people found this review helpful

DISLIKES: CVT at startup in cold weather is balky. Engine is noisy during acceleration. Highway mileage is not what is expected. The Ipod/phone holder is inconvenient to use while driving. You have to turn and look back to see it. Can't use arm rest with holder open. The center front armrest is too far back to be useful. Rear window wiper is too small. Trip odometer control is hard to reach. Location of cruise control is inconvenient. Standard CD player lacks compression feature. Standard sound system bass is poor. Location of rear defrost control is small and inconveniently located. LIKES: Heater warms up fast. Handling. Folding seats. Style.

One neat little Jeep

I needed an economical small SUV. This is one great small car. It is comfortable, much less expensive than the Japanese competition. Yet it meets all of my requirements. It is economical, comfortable, handles just fine, and zips around the city. On the expressway it can compete with the big boys, just not quite as fast accelerating - after all it is only a 4 cylinder. Try it. You will be very surprised.
