Great for family of 4 outtings to the beach or anywhere. Careful not to get into a car accident or you will forever have problems on that side that got hit. The rest of the car remains perfect. Carpet can be cleaned with hot foam and a high powered vacuum, few small areas that need a smaller and longer brush/vacuum. Gas milage is really good. Acceleration is slow but when she goes, she goes! Great in the snow with proper tires. Overall I recommend the 2011 Jeep compass limited.

After much looking we found the car my wife loves. She likes the styling, exterior looks and and the interior and the way it feels to drive. She did not like her previous car because she felt it just seemed cheaply made even though it only had less than 7000 miles on it. Saw the Jeep accident and right away she loved the styling and the feel and quality of interior.

After a few months of owning my 2012 Jeep Compass I can confidently say that I Love It! I read so many reviews saying the gas mileage isn't good but those people must have a lead foot! I get 26-27 mpg highway and about 23 in town. I got this vehicle for a steal with only 40,000 miles on it. Mine has the Bluetooth features, calling capabilities, satellite radio, 4x4 / tow package, etc. all for under $15,000! Such an upgrade from my tiny little car (which I loved as well). Took me forever to decide on an SUV with good reviews and this one was it! Don't hesitate buying one! Drives great in the snow too! LOVE IT!
Fun little car! Great little car for daily driver

Love the stick model 4cyl. Goes when you need it. Like the hill assist, great turning radius too. About 27 mpg city & 32 Hwy. Not fancy but great for getting around, bought it new & just gave it my daughter that graduated form college. Serviced for electrical 1x, wires rubbing under dash were causing the dash panel to go out. Tough little car, ran over a deer @ 45 mph with little damage. 120k and going great.

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.
