I have never written a review for an automobile and do not do so frivolously. I recently rented a Jeep Compass for two weeks. It had 8,000 miles on it and was relatively new. Let me start by saying that this is by far the worst vehicle I have ever driven. When getting in the car you are instantly jarred at how poor the visibility from the driver's seat is. The most troubling aspect of the vehicle is the acceleration power. I have driven Hyundai cars with more power. The engine is totally inadequate for this size vehicle. I would go so far as to say that this vehicle should not be legal for driving on highways. If you are in a situation when you need power, it will not be there. The steering is also very shaky at speeds over 60 and great concentration and focus is necessary to keep the vehicle going straight. Driving this is very much a chore and it is not a vehicle that you want to take out unless absolutely necessary. The instrumentation is a joke and is a sad feat for American engineering. In any case, whatever you do, do not buy this vehicle.

OK, I don't own this Compass, so I can't speak much for the reliability, longevity or maintenance, but I had one as a rental on a business trip. I was actually a little excited to drive it, because Jeeps are generally great cars to drive. It took me about 5 minutes to despise this car. I was switching lanes on the drivers side and I realized this is the least safe car I have ever driven. When I looked over my shoulder, all I saw were headrests (front and rear) and that gigantic rear column. And the side mirrors were no help. I couldn't see anything. I have honestly had better visibility in U-Haul trucks. Crap visibility does not stop there. I was backing up out of a parking spot in my hotel. And all of a sudden I see a couple with their baby come out from behind. I could not see them. I am lucky I was already weary of the visibility, or I could have hit them. This is flat out a dangerous car. On top of that, there is horrible storage in the front of this car. Nothing in the bottom of the dash, side door storage is as bad as I have ever seen. I couldn't even put the paperwork from my rental in them all folded up. Maybe Jeep just figured people would just put that stuff on the dash, because it is way too long. Technology is pretty darn dated. This base model had no Bluetooth, no USB hookup, No satellite, but it did have an aid input though, so I guess they are finally catching up with 2007. No steering wheel controls either, what car doesn't come with those nowadays? Hell, this Compass didn't even have a compass. It even had one of those old school antennas on the front; my '03 Outback has more advanced antenna technology. Braking is lackluster at best. I always felt like I was coming in hot when I was taking a turn. I felt like I had to slam on the brakes to get them to react. I do give them props for driver comfort though. I had a couple decently long drives on the trip and I was very comfortable. The drivetrain was not bad. Whine seemed very peppy for an I-4 2.2L in a larger vehicle. Transmission was not bad at all. A little weak in low gear, but great above 20 MPH. This was surprisingly stable car. We hit major rain storms on the way back to the airport (those big Florida storms) and it was pretty darn windy, and I felt no push from the wind. Although I could barely see in front of me (certainly not behind me). All those niceties don't matter, the lack of visibility is a hazard, I would never recommend anyone to buy this car, I don't want to see them or someone else hurt because you can't see anything. Jeep should pull this car off the road.

I had a Jeep Compass 2015 for two weeks and it was just bad. I picked the Jeep over others in the line I could choose from mainly because I had always want a Jeep and it was white colored, I figured in the AZ heat a light colored car would be cooler than the dark colored ones. The first thing I noticed was that I sat very low to the ground for a SUV. My Tucson sits higher. You also sit low in the car, at 5'6" I could not see over the windshield wipers to see the hood. The wipers also took up a lot of real estate on the windshield. The next thing was the shirfter just wan't straight from park to drive or drive to park, you had to go right and around each gear, that drove me nuts for two weeks. 3rd the Jeep is VERY bad at accelorating, getting into traffic was dangerous. If you stepped on the gas be prepared to wait a few seconds 3-5 at least for it to go. 4th Poor rear cargo space, again my Tucson is much better. 5th small gas tank and average or below fuel economy. 6th The rear door handles are vertical and not horizonal like most cars, what a pain that was. The sit high near the window. 7th Poor storage in the passenger area, not seat pockets. Although I will say the center console was OK. 8th Parking was again just ok. 9th Slanted dash means nothing could be placed on it, like a GPS with out falling down. 10th The damn seat belt chimer would charm non stop even if the passenger un buckled their belt for a few minutes. I would not buy one.

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.
