We really have enjoyed our new 2018 Jeep Compass Limited (All 4). We traded in our 2014 MINI Countryman so we could save on maintenance costs and we were surprised with how comfortable and tech savvy this SUV is! We really have enjoyed it and have had zero issues. We recommend it and for those thinking of this as a smaller family SUV, this is the #1 reason why we decided to switch. We love ours!

When stop at traffic light or in stop and go traffic the engine shuts off! Even after several stops its not something I would want to get used to. Hesitation and interior AC is a concern during stops in traffic. Acceleration drags and for what this vehicle costs I would keep looking. Good comfort and style.

I'll start by saying, I've only had the chance to rack up about 600 miles so far, but felt the need to step up to the plate here cuz it's seen a years worth of weather in only a week. Most people need to remember, for WHAT IT IS, this is a good vehicle! Compact, but handles great, the 4 cylinder does quite well for a 4 cylinder, and I've had no issues with the 9 speed as of yet. Doesn't have a cheap feel, everything seems layed out well, and it is a sharp vehicle. In the week I've owned mine, I've taken on dry pavement, heavy rains, and a snowstorm that dumped over 6 inches of snow in a matter of hours. I've even hit pretty sizeable potholes and barely noticed them. The 4x4 system is remarkable, it feels stable anywhere (although I have yet to go off-road... But I'll bet I will!) Mine has quite a few creature comforts including heated seats and steering wheel, remote start, a whole list of other options, and one of the larger screened media centers, as well as upgraded wheels, and was still under $30K. The interior isn't cramped for me at all (I'm 6'1") and is comfortable. I even sat in the back seat, plenty of leg room. It's not the largest or most powerful SUV out there, but it doesn't claim to be. It is what it is... A great, stylish, compact that can get you where you need to go with decent gas mileage and comfort. (By the way, mine is a Latitude 4x4 with the 9 speed auto. Wasn't an option to choose from on the above list. Lol)

I leased my Compass in Feb 2018. The look of my compass inside and out is immaculate, it draws a lot of compliments, especially with the Mopar decal kit that came on it. The cargo room is perfect for all the camping trip I take and looks great with the kayaks on the roof. The only complaints I have is the acceleration is not great but it isn't that bad either. Also, I was hoping the average 23 mpg but I average 20 mpg so it is what it is. I would recommend this Jeep to anybody!

My 2018 Compass Latitude 4wd has spent 7 weeks in the shop for repairs, that literally don't get repaired. My heat comes on even if the A/C is on, almost everytime I start the car, and takes about 5 mins to reset itself. Have had the radio replaced, and it didn't resolve the issue, and nothing else they did resolved it either. The car makes a horrible humming noise from under the car between 30 and 45 MPH. If I press the 4wd button, the noise goes away. Dealership can't figure it out. The fancy door handles that you grab to unlock the doors both broke multiple times. They take a week to arrive each time they break. The plastic portion below the drivers seat, that houses the power seat controls, has broken off twice. The gas mileage is absolutely HORRIBLE!! A class action lawsuit should be filed against FCL. I get between 20 and 21mph combined. The front rotors had to be replaced at 15k miles, and of that, probably 12k were highway miles. RUN RUN RUN away as fast as you can!!!!
