I would like to say I am Very Happy with my Purchase. I bought the 2wd 2.0 5Spd Manual. I have been through 3 tanks of gas. I do not count the 1st one because I do not know if the dealership actually fill it all the way. But on the 2nd and 3rd tanks I got 30.1MPG and 30.9mpg (done with manual calculations miles/gallons). I love it. Hope it just keeps getting better. I drive about 90% highway, 65MPH or less. I also have a ScanGaugeII That helps in Drive technique. So I will probably improve the MPG some. I chose this because of the bang for the buck. Compared to others you get a lot for your money.
Go with the automatic :()

I went with the manual tranny which I regret. The low torgue requires you to bump up the rpm's quite a bit to get this thing going. Once going it's fairly responsive as long as you keep the tach above 1800 or so. If you shift at or above around 3200 or so, you feel a LOT of vibration coming back thru the clutch pedal and the reverse gear seems to have been delivered with some rough teeth - sounds like you are grinding hamburger if you go very far in reverse. Handling on the other hand is very good. It's fun to corner with this rig and it stays very flat. It's quite on decent roads and rides comfortably. The center armrest is too short and cumbersome (it moves fore and aft).
Had it new since 2011.

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 is the second Jeep I have owned, the first being a older Grand Cherokee that I loved. I bought this one with high hopes, that have been dashed. It has the most uncomfortable front seats I have ever sat in. It started rusting when it was only 3 years old. We have taken it in several times for evaporation faults. There is hardly a center console to rest your arm on if you so choose. It is very loud when you reach speeds greater than 55mph. Overall it just has a very cheap feel.

Worst car I have ever owned

Yesterday was the 3rd greatest day of my life. 1. My daughter's birth in 2011. 2. My wedding in 2001. 3. The day I got rid of my Jeep Compass in 2016. Ok, so this car never left me on the side of the road, but it was the worst investment I have ever made. It did not hold value well at all and every time I turned around, some small part was breaking. There is a LOT of plastic on this car. And the seats are extremely cramped and uncomfortable for long drives. Very little cargo space. The power is dismal. Something is also flawed in the design to the point you have to roll all of the windows down if you roll down one window. It makes a very strange vibration if you don't. The transmission whines after long drives. Nothing wrong with it, it just whines. If you're looking for a car at this price point and have a family, go with the Kia Sorrento like I should have.
