2016 Jeep Compass Sport 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

We own a 2010 Ford Escape, and got this as a rental when we were in an accident. I thought I was not a fan of the wife's Escape, but was wrong, as it is a 10 times better car than this Jeep.The vehicle is smaller in every way. I am 6 feet 4 inches tall and would like to rip the rearview mirror off as it is very low and in my line of sight. The car only has one power port, really yes one... My 10 year old truck has two. We had to take it on a 400 mile round trip over the weekend and it only got 23 miles to the gallon on the Highway. The escape always gets about 26. How does a smaller, newer vehicle get worse fuel economy. Do not buy this car.

This SUV even with the Bigger 2.4 liter engine has no power. I was scared to pull out in front of cars. Plus going up hills unloaded it kept search for the right gear. Interior was cheap looking and lots of plastic. Only one plug in for GPS ,no USB port. Seats were very uncomfortable in front and back. No cargo space. My Mustang be a larger trunk. 4 wheel drive leaver was a joke and knobs poorly placed. Radio would not pick up but 2 channels. Very displeased

2016 Jeep Compass Sport SE 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

Drove the jeep for 3 days as a rental our to DFW and can't believe how bad this car is considering the competition in the segment. The vehicle was almost brand new with only 6 k miles, and it had more squeaks and rattles than my 10' CRV with 150K miles. I am just bewildered as to how any educated consumer would consider this vehicle as doing very minimal research. If your considering the buying the Compass, just test drive a Rav4 and CRV and compare the vehicles. Also keep in mind, the Compass will have very little resale value down the road, this is not the case with either the Honda or Toyota. How many 10 year old + Chrysler do you see on the road?

Rental while own car is repaired. Admittedly we were given what must have been the base model (at least I hope so!) because the seat had only manual for and aft, and seat back rake adjustments, it is like sitting in a bath tub. Noisy, almost dangerously slow for getting onto freeways. Harsh ride. The radio/cd player looks like it's from 1990. No USB port. Interior lighting controls a mystery to operate. A classic example of you get what you pay for I guess.

I rented this car while my VW Tourag was in for repairs. Mine is 10 years old with 120k on it and I would buy mine again before I would even consider this vehicle. It has NO power, wont get out of its own way, pulling out onto busy highways is a challenge. The fuel economy is terrible, probably 18-ish for an underpowered 4 cyl. This was all of the SUV's Enterprise had on their lot and I know why. I can honestly say the $50.00 rental was well worth doing a review of this piece of junk. I cant believe Fiat/Chrysler would have this in the line up at all. For a 2016 vehicle, it had no USB, only one! 12v outlet, crappy radio that kept going in/out daily for 5-10 mins at a time, and tires roaring at 65 mph and up. This vehicle only has 10,000 miles on it! Have driven rentals from VW, Hyundai, Toyota, they blow this thing away. Out of curiosity I looked up the price and for 26k, you don't get much here. From now on I think I will rent any vehicle I'm considering for several days of real driving before I bite the hook. I would be soo mad if I bought this based on a round the block test drive with a salesman blabbing non stop.
