At 40,000 miles we needed a whole new front end, lower control arms, tie rod ends, stabilizer rods steering linkage. At 80,000 we repeated the process plus the rear sway bar, never off road ever.

Rally E

I waited for the 2009 and the new interior is great! The manual transmission is the way to go, I drove a CVT version (as a rental) and I did not like it. Love the Rally E package and the upgraded sound system is clearer and sharper than my old Rockford Fosgate (Mitsubishi) stereo. Without the downshift of the manual long hills would be a problem. Other than hills overall pick-up is fine. I commute daily and the Compass is great in snowy /icy conditions. I am very very pleased with my Compass. You really get alot for your money.

NEVER BUY UNLESS INSPECTED

I bought my car from a shady dealership because I was in a tight position. I heard the cars were generally nice and found it to be rather clean minus a few dings. I got the car nearly hoke and heard something crack underneath. The day after I bought it not even 17 hours later I found holes in my frame and my car got red tagged meaning I can not legally drive it on the road. Now I without a vehicle and money as I am currently in a legal battle. While the actions are mostly against the car dealership it’s also on Jeep for having an AWFUL design. The cradle is a catch all for all fluids underneath the engine and overtime are bound to erosion. If you buy the suv be weary and remember to check it!!!!!

Eats up way too much gas. My 7 year old Kia got better miles than this no way I get 23 miles a gallon.

Loving it!

I absolutely love this vehicle. It's comfortable to drive, and i have plenty of room for my toddler's seat in the back. The back seats are adjustable, so my husband was able to get her seat in super snug. I love the gas mileage with this. I live by the beach, so a 4x4 wasn't necessary. Just a great car for the price. The metallic paint is just gorgeous, too.
