This car is Perfect!. (My Latitude is 9 speed auto with many other upgrades) So fun to drive, great looking in and out. The Detailing in the interior with it curves and chrome accent gives it a solid expensive look and attention to detail look. Everything appears to be laid out perfectly. Best handing car I have drove so far. Very smooth ride on highway, and excellent on turns. Lot of technology and electronics in this car. Too soon to see how they all hold up. Very stylish exterior with nice curves with no wind noise. This is my first 4 cylinder car, and I have to say I am impressed! Power and acceleration is just enough even with 5 people in the car. I don’t know why people are complain about this, lets get real, this is not a sports car where you going to feel a gravity pull when you gun it. I think it’s plenty for a 4 cylinder and size of the vehicle. I am averaging 20 MPG, I kind of expecting a bit more since its rated 23 city and 30 highway. But its way much better than all my previous cars. The "Stop start and Go" can get annoying, however it can be disabled by a push of a button. If this car holds up as is, i just might buy it at end of my lease. Love it!

I'm rating this 3 stars, because I'm an eternal optimist and I believe that Chrysler is going to make this right. I bought our new Jeep Compass last October, it was actually a previous service loaner, but only had thirteen hundred miles and got it as a Chrysler certified car. I really want to love this car. I like how it handles, I like how it rides, the acceleration is very adequate, the four-wheel-drive is great in Winter driving! But I've had two major incidents in the six months of ownership which caused it to go down for a week each time. Both related to Tech issues. The steering and braking systems went out on Christmas Eve, as we were scurrying to get ready for family get-togethers. It required a complete replacement of the steering column, because of computer errors. We did not receive the car back until January 3rd. Drove our 20 year old Saab in the meantime. Since that time, it's been great. Fuel economy averaging around 25 MPG, which for a four-wheel drive is very acceptable. And, again, I like the looks, the handling, the ride comfort, and I do want to love this car. But... 2 days ago, while driving in a rural area, we start to get a recurrence of the Christmas Eve problem. Got to the Jeep dealer, and it needs a software upgrade. Which can't be done until next week. So again, undrivable for a week. I plan on keeping this car long-term, despite this stuff. There's a 6 year unlimited mileage warranty, that I'm going to pay $3,500 for. And Chrysler can count on the fact that social media is going to know every negative occurrence with this. I will also post the positive stuff. I hope I don't have to post another negative comment again, and it's all sunshine and Lollipops.

I bought my compass new may 3, 2018. This is July 25, 2018. 5 times I have gotten in my car, and it would not start!! The car acts like is on, but it is not. This will be my 3rd time having it back at the dealership. They keep telling me they can’t get a code to pop up on it!! The second time they had my car almost 3 weeks! This is ridiculous!!!!!!!! I will NEVER buy another Jeep! Very disappointed!!! I called Jeep directly and they basically blew my complaint off and told me that I would have to deal with dealership that sold me the car.

2018 6 Speed Manual 4x4 Latitude Compass

I looked for a manual transmission Compass because I did not like Auto Engine Start Stop as a "feature" and I heard bad things about the 9 speed auto. So far I have been happy with the the Compass and have had nothing go wrong with it since picking it up at the end of August. This Jeep feels solid and well built. The interior material feels pretty high quality with no squeaks or rattles. The 4x4 systems works great in the snow and I have tried it out a few times with no issues. So far I am getting around 22 mpg with mixed in town and highway driving. My huge complaint with the car, and I am rather shocked that this is an issue in a modern vehicle, is the lack of storage. For a car with Apple Car Play, where am I supposed to stash my phone? There is a small net pocket on the passenger side of the car that I can put my phone in but to be honest it is a joke. I cant imagine if you had a Iphone X what you would do. There is no sunglass holder, this is a pain and annoying. There is no garage door opener, kind of shocked since this is a Latitude. The Jeep actually drives well for having electric power steering and feels well planted at high speed. The 2.4 Tigershark does use oil, it should be checked once a month. So far my engine has used 1.5qt in 3000 miles. I blame the new ring design on the pistons and the required 0-20w oil.
