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 bought this SUV new and I have not had any problem with it. But of course I had it serviced when it was due by a Jeep dealership.

I’ve owned this car for 4 years now. Bought it used with one previous owner and 29,000 miles. After just one year of having the car I had to replace the transmission. Thankfully I purchased an extended warranty, but still a headache nonetheless. Fastforaward another year and anytime I turn air on(hot or cold), a loud clicking noise takes place inside the dashboard. While it does not affect the performance of the car it is very annoying to listen to any time I want air on in the car. And a few months later my AC went out in the middle of summer. I have had issue after issue with this car and would not recommend to anyone. There is always a “one off” or luck of the draw situation that can happen when purchasing a car, but this car is just poor quality.

Purchased my Compass in July this year. I wanted a Compass True North but Jeep does not build one, just for the auto shows. So I purchased my Compass 2.4, six speed auto,4x4. Using the spec's found for the True North, I built one. I added the two inch lift kit and added a performance intake. This is the best SUV I have ever had. I truly love driving the Compass. For those who complain that the engine is sluggish, a performance intake will fix the issue without effecting gas mileage. The lift kit is for better off-roading. No mountain climbing or forging rivers, just good off-roading fun. Well, it has been almost three years since the above review. I STILL love this Compass. Everything still runs and operates like new. I have had my Compass in the Ozark Mountains and covered almost all the jeep trails. My Compass has traveled all over Texas and as far north as northern Indiana. I believe I just might keep this Compass a few more years. Thanks Jeep for a good base to work from. I understand that 2018 Compass has incorporated all the modifications I have made to mine. Year four and I still love this little Compass. I checked out the 2018 Compass Trailhawk at the local dealership. It has everything my custom built Compass has. Finally, Jeep has a Compass to be proud of. By the way, I will be keeping mine for a few more years.
