We rented this car for one day of cross country travel. Big mistake. Loud, uncomfortable, loud, sluggish, loud, clunkiest shifting ever, loud, no get up and go, loud, holds 10 gallons of gas so had to fuel constantly....let's see...oh yes, it's LOUD.

This Jeep was a loud, gas guzzling, bumpy ride! I was lucky I was just renting. The only thing I liked was the new car smell. I never had to fill again before getting to Las Vegas from L.A. I would never buy this car. My Hyundai had more pick up.

I have had this car as a rental for 3 days with 14 more to go. I am parking it under a tree in the hope tht it falls and I can get a replacement!I I can put up with the ride, handling, quality of interior as I expect rentals to be basic and hammered by previous renters but the vehicle is underpowered to the point of being dangerous and the auto gearbox is so badly set up it can't safely use the limited power available. In addition at low speed the power steering very heavy. I have been coming to Florida twice a year for 15 years and this is the worst car I have ever had. I have not had to fill up with petrol yet but the way the needle is dropping I suspect I will be lucky to get better than 25. I get twice that at home (UK) in an Audi Q3 with about twice the power. I will remember the car and be sure not to choose it next time.

Whenever I go onto the freeway via the a typical onramp I look in the rear view mirror and look for a big gap. The acceleration on the Compass is dreadfully poor. Also, I'm not thrilled with the instrumentation. Overall, the Compass appears to be 5 to 7 years behind the times. I love the Jeep brand but this car does not help its reputation as a get-it-done type vehicle.
