The Jeep Compass is just plain fun to drive. It is a Jeep and has a firm ride that is solid and is confident under any road condition. The interior is not as "plush" as other vehicles to which it is compared but it costs thousands less but it is still well equiped. Those who complain about this car after buying it apparently never bothered to drive it before spending their money. One can't blame the car for their failure to determine whether the car is right for them. Over all it is a fine vehicle it is a Jeep not a luxury sports car.

Don’t waste your money on this vehicle. There are way too many faults about it that can’t be overlooked. I bought it with hopes of having four-wheel drive capability in the winter. The four-wheel-drive worked well, but almost like it thrust the Jeep too much that I would almost drive off the road. Besides that, Jeep did nothing to improve this vehicle since it came out. It is clearly obvious on every aspect of this piece of junk. My biggest complaint is about how underpowered it is. It’s too slow which forces me to stomp on the gas and operate at high RPM’s. I feel like I’m in everyone’s way to the point where I feel like I’m in danger. I felt nervous to drive or go anywhere in it because of this. There is too much engine and road noise. Wherever you sit it’s completely compromised, especially the driver’s seat. The back seat is too small and is accessed by stupid door handles. Cargo capacity was disappointing for my needs. Visibility is awful. Gas mileage is terrible with a small tank and short range (Prepare to become a frequent visitor at the gas pump). Like I said before, the Compass has old tech and an uninspiring fit and finish (hard and ugly plastics galore). Mine was the High Altitude model and it seemed so obsolete in terms of design and the limited capabilities of the touch screen. Strangely, the speedometer is so hard to read that I am either speeding or going too slow. Oh, when you let off the gas pedal you literally started losing speed QUICKLY, thus taking a lot of effort for the engine to pick up speed again when you put your foot back on the gas. For reliability, I had electrical issues with the third brake light and could not shift out of park. I had to have a new wire put it that ran from the fuse box to the third brake light. I never felt confident with the brakes. These issues did not set a pleasant tone for ownership when it had under 30,000 miles. I only liked that it came with remote start and heated seats. Overall, the Compass is so far in the dust compared to anything and not worth it. I just bought a new Kia Sportage and love it so much better than the Compass! I hated it so much that I only had it for ten months and put only 8,000 miles on it. I have never felt happier to get rid of it! Choose a different direction than the Compass!

I love my jeep compass high altitude! It is very comfortable behind the steering wheel considering I am 6feet 5 inches tall! I have as much headroom and legroom as my Nissan Titan.The double stitched leather interior looks great. Performance and mileage are also good! Can not wait for the snow to checkout the four wheel drive! Buy one you will not be disappointed!

Noisy, I just bought the Jeep in November and the unconnected is already not working.. so pissed off. I did not know that a lot of people had the same problem. People even sued over defective product. Acceleration is horrible. The damn thing is so damn slow I feel like I'm driving ms. Daisy. It kills the gas because you have to press the gas pedal so hard to take off.... old fashioned looking features.. technology sucks. Which I did more research before investing. Now I am stuck in a82 my loan which the dealer failed to explain...
