I live in hot mcallen, tx and this car has never let me stranded. I bought it new in 2011 and i have only changed out the front lower control arms, ball joints, struts, and brake pads. Of course the regular maintenance like spark plugs, mobile 1 oil change and added an KN air filter. NO PROblems...anyway, only negatives are the two front seats plastic broke that holds the seat belt in place, awkward noise when three windows are rolled down, sluggish acceleration at times, small interior if your 6' or taller, and thats it. I put a Alpine overhead DVD and kids love it. Again, this car is great at 70k miles and has kept me and my family safe after two fender benders and traveled around the US on occasions. I recommend it. Thanks jeep since 2011.

This was my first new vehicle purchase. I traded in my 06 Mazda hatch for the jeep. I had loved the Mazda and it's sporty-ness, but we were looking to get a family vehicle. The jeep is very sporty yet still the SUV feel. My gas mileage is decent( it'd be better if I drove it more like an SUV and not my Mazda). Great Jeep! (especially for the money)

Very stylish, but very compact on the inside. Unfortunately I purchases a CVT transmission with 4x4 but the deal I got was too great! It lasted me a long time. Used it for everything, camping, off roading, and a daily driver. Milage was a little low, even for highways. About 21 combined, nothing after market. Space was very limited in the back seat and the cargo area. Overall, it was a good car but I decided to upgrade to a Subaru Crosstrek. More space, AWD, and lifted higher.

I was forced into purchasing a 201 compass brand new in 2011. I have three kids, they do not fit in back seat, they are so cramped! not to mention the whole thing is just small! I've had to take it in because if a noise turn out front lower arm controls were broke, they replaced them they were under warranty, the day after I got them fixed I'm not lying I backed out of my drive way and it sounded like plastic cracking in a million pieces, and then there was the creaking noise again! so I'm assumeing it's the arm controls again! I've been to busy to have it fixed but I can tell steering is bad and every time I hit bump I hear the creaking. hate this car!

Dangerous on Highway

We had purchase our Jeep Compass Latitude 6 weeks ago. While driving on the freeway there was a loud explosion type sound and then the front driver's side collapsed. Luckily my son was able to safely get to the center divide and stop only to find that the entire front driver's wheel had completely snapped off leaving only the center part of the hub cap bolted on and the rotar filed down. The Highway patrol officer and tow truck drivers had never seen anything like it. However, the dealership is trying to tell us that we must of hit a curb to cause a blowout. How does a blowout cause the entire wheel to rip off of a car? Others are telling us it's a possible design defect. BEWARE!
