I just got the 2.4 automatic Compass Limited last week. It's a fleet vehicle, didn't have a choice so didn't test driver one. Picked up the car one evening, didn't do anything but drive home 5 miles. Woke up the next morning and the remote access buttons on the key did not work, used the key, got in, started the car and the radio wasn't working either. All kinds of similar issues. I'm sure that can be fixed but the biggest problem is the engine/powertrain. The vehicle does terrible when you try to accelerate to change lane or merge, pulls to the point of almost losing control. I drove a '12 Escape with a 2.5 engine, much more powerful engine. Well I was sent an email today (2/4/17) to update my review. I no longer have the Compass, I have a 2017 Ford Escape. It's got a 1.5 liter EcoBoost engine (essentially a turbo, not sure why they call it EcoBoost) . Anyway this little car hauls you know what, well at least compared to the Compass. It accelerates great and takes hills without crying! Car is also much more solidly put together. The Compass door was very light and felt cheap so did the interior. The Escape feels a lot more sturdy. While I'm not a huge fan of the exterior of the Escape, I thought the previous models looked like a truck, the newer model doesn't know if it wants to be an SUV, CUV or Mini Van. Still for everything else great about the car, I'll live with that. I got an e-mail asking me to update my review......it still sucks!

I purchased this 2013 Jeep Compass Sport because came out with Life Time Warrant and I always want one! I like blue tooth and build in cell phone hand free & comes with 6 CD/ Sat/AM/FM Radio! Only thing I do not like about it small trunk & fuel tank and wind hear it when I driving it from the doors seal! But I am keeping it because I paid cash on and run great!

Your review mentions sluggish acceleration and cramped back seat. I found the opposite. I bought the Sport 4X2 with 2.4 engine and 6-speed automatic (your review had the CVT and had not tested the 6-speed). I tried the CVT and waited for the 6-speed; I'm glad I did. I drove the 2.0 engine and it was too weak, but the 2.4 is fine. And the 6-speed is a big improvement over the CVT. It has plenty of room- front and back- for a small vehicle. I compared the Escape, RAV4, Subaru, Mitsubishi, and others, including the Dart, Focus, and Avenger.
Bad car to buy
