All New Latitude is a Great Value

The All New Jeep Latitude is a vehicle that is a great value with great resale value, especially with 4wd. The ride is stiff and the handling is very good. The interior is good quality and not plasticy and cheap like the Jeep Renegade. The seating is very comfortable. The infotainment center, even with the smaller 5-inch screen and bluetooth, is very nice. The only upgrade that I would suggest is the larger screen along with more technology. It would be worth the extra money. Overall, I am very happy with this vehicle. It is my first Jeep. I did a lot of research and prefer this model over the larger Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I was shopping for a KIA Sorrento or the smaller version; the sitting is not comfortable, I pass by a Jeep Dealer, liked the shape and size of the vehicle and the seating was excellent; price comparable , big difference the doors are heavy, you feel secure. the KIA's , and other brands are not.

I love my new jeep compass, however, you really have to be diligent when turning corners for pedestrians, the columns at the end of the windshield are kind of wide (had the same issue with my old honda accord so i'm used to it). Drives very well just had for a week so I can't critique repairs yet. Overall, I'VE BEEN CONVERTED! No more sedans, SUVs ALL THE WAY! One year later, I'm still in love with my Jeep! However, the radio system sucks the big one. It has one of those old fashion antenna so reception on the radio is horrible. Thank goodness for CDs. Overall performance is awesome!

I bought this vehicle in July. Was very excited with my Brand New Compass until the issues started. The first electrical issues where with the screen (radio) is temperamental and will decide to not turn on. Then the issues with the engine started. When starting up the Jeep it would acting like it is running only to not have the engine starting. I have had it at the dealership three times for the service engine light. The first time they said that there were no codes and it started properly every time they had it. The next time they found a vapor leak above the fuel tank and now when it went into the shop to be fixed it now also has a cracked hose. Because of these issues they said it was causing an issue with the carburetor which cased the engine to stop?!? My car only has 2,900 miles on it!! There should not be this many issues with a Brand New car. I am greatly regretting my purchase!

If I could rate this car zero stars I would. Just leased it a week ago 4x4 latitude with all the gadgets etc. Anyway, I was driving down a busy street and It was a red light so the "start stop" system which turns off the engine at stop lights to save fuel started working (You can turn it off by hitting a button everytime you get in the car, but is that really the solution to hope this never happens again). Normally, this system has worked fine. HOWEVER, as I felt the engine turn off, all of a sudden, the car went CRAZY. The parking brake was on and I couldn't turn it off, the wheel wouldn't move, the gears would shift but they flashed, the screen turned on and off, and I COULD'NT TURN THE CAR OFF. I was sitting in the middle of a busy one way street on a green light, people were honking, and I couldn't move. I was stuck and couldn't do anything about it. I tried to hold the push to start button down but to no avail, my car WOULD NOT MOVE NOR RESTART. I was sitting in the road for about 10 minutes freaking out and about to call AAA. It was like the car was off, but it was on. Cars wouldn't move around me so it might even be possible that the emergency lights that I turned on weren't even on. Suddenly I tried the on button again and it worked. So I turned the car around and gave it to a dealer and explained my problem. They said it would be done in a day. TWO WEEKS LATER, I still do not have my car. No one could figure out what was wrong with it. They told me since the car was so "new' (It came out in feb and it's July) that they didn't have the technology to figure out what the problem was. The had to call Chrysler who STILL hasn't send over the parts. It was a computer problem, but it took them a week to figure that out, when I told them that the first day. I am very upset that a new car would just stop working like that and I could do nothing about. The dealership and even the own JEEP company didn't know anything. It's scary to think that when they get the replacement part they are going "to fix it" but yet they couldn't even figure out what was wrong with my car. Before leasing this car I checked what people had to say about it, and not once did someone say it stopped working. Well that happened to me and I want everyone to be aware before they think about the New Jeep Compass. (By the way the replacement courtesy vehicle they gave me was NOT sufficient at all. It was a base model with no backup camera, no blind spot, and no automatic headlights. The vehicle I brought in was equipt with everything, even a sun/moon roof. It would be nice if they gave me a car to drive that was somewhere close to that. If I had brought in an SRT Jeep GC would they give me a Dodge Dart?)
