I can't believe how nice this Compass is -- at least for me. I was expecting cheap and thrashy, and instead it's smooth, quiet and very composed. Soaks up bumps. Firm, supportive seats. Interior is not nearly as cheap as some of the reviews would lead you to think. I mean, lighted cupholders, cruise control and Jeep floormats on a car I paid $13K for brand new! The plastics are soft enough in most places, a decent quality vibe. Update after 1.5 years: I don't drive much, but it's city driving. In that context the pluses and minuses include (pluses) nice turning radius, responsive controls, perfect size, very useful cargo-wise, firm suspension, great ground clearance, easy to park. (Minuses) a bit too firm on washboard surfaces, watch the tire pressure since if too low the abs gets wonky. No real problems to report. I think this is the perfect city car: good size for driving with decent cargo capacity. Great visibility. Gas mileage OK for the capability of vehicle. I get an honest 30mpg on freeway, but I do mostly city and get around 22. After 1.5 years of parking on the street and driving over potholes the Compass is still tight and responsive. Really glad I didn't get a bigger or heavier car; this one is perfect.

I have loved everything about my 2015 jeep compass sport..did have a roof leak they fixed...first year. I do have to put a pillow on the driver's seat to boost me up, I wish it was a tad roomier for heavy set people...great space for my large dog in back, good on gas, a larger tank would of been nice, my only real complaint is..again for heavy set people, if you are the driver and the only person in the car, you can feel the "lean" when making a wide right turn. I felt it was unnerving, but I loved the car, so I went and bought 5 sandbags and placed them on the floor of the passenger side back. now the jeep feels more balanced on the turns. I see they put that sticker on the visor, may TIP on turns, well they must of realized this problem. it does have a bit of a blind spot back passenger side... so I avoid situations where that could be a problem. but other than that.....I really love the car and nothing is 100% perfect..and most of the suvs are looking pretty much the same these days..with the high head rests that pose the blind spot problem, and they are all narrowing the cars to make them more fuel efficient which in turn makes it a tad crowded and throws off the balance. had the Jeep compass for a year and a half now, the roof leak was my only repair...under warranty and they fix it right. I have had 2 jeeps prior, and I just love jeeps. and it was great in the snow. * it has been having some minor vibrations when it warms up...... they ran a computer test on it and nothing showed up, yet I can still feel the engine shimmying for the first 15 mins. I went to 100% synthetic oil last change to see if that would make a difference, it did not. and sometimes it does bog for a second or two when the AC is running. I only have 7800 miles on in as of July 2019.... I do still get it rustproofed every 18 months.

So I got stuck renting this "SUV". I have never liked Jeep. Never had the aspirations of buying one. When the first told me this is what I'd be driving my ears perked up.... Maybe I was wrong... It was a 16 model so I assumed it was going to be nice. Yeah...no. I first got into it and instantly got transported back to the "Stone Age" with the most sub-par interior I've ever seen (in a 2012 and newer). I told myself "It's only for a few days, you'll live". About didn't. Upon leaving the rental place, the car switched from Auto to bump shift manual. Not gonna lie, scared the crap out of me when you're on a busy 4 lane. Back in automatic I start to accelerate. Thought the car was going to die. Now I own a FRS so I was used to a little bit of get-up-and-go. This was more like get-up-and-go die in a hole. In my opinion there is no excuse in such a poor quality vehicle. I think I would drive an Aztek over it. At least the Aztek came with the fold out tent. With seats the make you feel like your sitting on Play-Doh, a dash and center console straight from the 90's (minus Satellite radio), the acceleration of a 2-legged turtle, the comfort of a bed with only a boxspring, the ride like you felt as if your on a surface equivalent to bubble wrap, the amount of blind spots to make Ray Charles jealous....Sorry Jeep, in my opinion this is a failure...only gave 1 Star because 0 wasn't an option.

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.
