Before purchasing a 09 Compass, I read a lot of reviews for the 08. I AM GLAD THAT I DID NOT RELY ON THOSE REVIEWS! Complaints lodged against the 08 Compass have been rectified in 09: the interior has been redesigned and looks great, the additional noise dampening makes the vehicle ride quietly and the transmission is smooth. This thing is fun to drive and has a lot of pickup for a 4 cyl. engine. I was looking for a 6 cyl. vehicle but this one won me over after a test drive. Fuel economy is good and the price is fantastic. I personally love the look of the vehicle-as long as it is red, blue or orange-the other colors make the vehicle look long (my opinion). I give it a solid 9-test drive one!

My husband purchased this car for me because our youngest was graduating and she took what I was driving so I got the 2010 Jeep Compass... Gas mileage is poor was always filling it up no space in "trunk" area not much room in back seat especially with 2 grandson's car seats back there. very reliable vehicle but don't get me started on cabin noise! it was so loud you had to yell to talk to the person next to you. it was a love/hate relationship I did love the compass it was just to loud and to small to meet my needs.

OUTSTANDING Built Vehicle

I never thought I would buy American again after a wonderful run with my 95' Toyota Corolla with over 200,000 on it and still running strong...i needed a stronger motor to pull a motorcycle trailer and I test drove a X-3 BMW and a honda C-RV and this Compass blew them both away. The most outstanding thing about this vehicle is the way it handles...IT handles like a sports car!!!!!!!!!! No Kidding. Tight package. Comfortable seats...and an EXTREMELY quiet ride even at 70-80mph!!!!! I also work on my own cars and plugs and oil must be easy for me to get to and this engine is laid out simply and very clean design...Pulls my trailer with my 650 dirt bike with ease. FANTASTIC

i have an 07 patriot ltd and i luv it, but this compass ltd is so much more fun to drive. i luv its looks, and the ltd package with silver bumper accents, silver body side moldings and chrome wheels turn other drivers and pedestrians heads. under load it seems a little sluggish, but the more i drive it the more accustomed to it i become. comfort is as good or better than the patriot. fuel economy is very good too. the interior is better than most same class competitors. all seams are tight and well-aligned, doors fit tight, etc.

This is such a fun vehicle to drive and it's traction control nimbleness on curvy highways is impressive. Mine has the 5 speed manual tranny and there is no problem with power even though the 2.4 L 4 banger is no "Hemi". I have clocked 30 mpg on the highway so far and that has me excited as well. The price I paid for this car plus the quality and value I received is noteworthy. Nothing in the Compass class comes close in my book and I say this after having checked them all out. I'd definitely buy another of these. My hat is off to Chrysler.
