Stuck on side of the road
Didn't' think I have a problem with a spare tire. boy was I wrong. No dealer or website has a spare tire /jack for this car, on back order. Dealer stated at least a 6 month wait, several websites out of stock and don't know when they will restock. Truck comes with a inflator kit and air compress. Useless if you tear sidewall of tire.
Cheap Version of Cherokee
For all intents and purposes this is a Kmart version of the Cherokee. It really has a decent design and size overall, but try sitting in a Cherokee of similar trim (i.e. Trailhawk to Trailhawk) and you'll see why the Compass is less expensive. Actually I'd consider one of these if they offered either Cherokee's V6 or 2.0 Turbo 4 as the (only) engine--an anemic 184hp is no fun to drive whatsoever.

Great Compact Jeep with Quirks
I've had my jazzy blue 2020 High Altitude for 9 months, and because of pandemic restrictions I've only put on about 2500 miles, but Jeeps can be weird from my experience. This is my second Compass (had a 2017), and they are generally similar. As someone noted in a previous review, for the first 2000 miles or so, the acceleration was somewhat sluggish and the gas mileage was pretty bad as I was getting about 18MPG mixed driving. As soon as I broke 2000 miles, the acceleration is much better, if not peppy, and the mileage has gotten up to about 25MPG mixed driving. My new Jeep is loaded, so I enjoy the ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof and many safety features. But there are a number of quirky things as listed in a previous review that I partially agree with, but I have others that appear to be cost-cutting measures or not well researched for user-friendliness. The Stereo upgrade to an Alpine system is not worth anything. This "upgraded" stereo sounds about exactly the same as the one in my standard 2017 stereo. The upgraded system adds a sub-woofer in the back-end area, but produces minimal, if any, extra bass. You have to set the bass to full just to get any bass to talk about. That being said, the stereo does sound very good, but not worth the upgrade cost. Generally, there are many default settings that you can't change which is annoying. I hope we get to a day when there are no defaults and we can set everything via our phone... maybe the 2025 model. Other than the gripes, this Jeep is Awesome and has fantastic curb appeal! I don't understand all the bad "professional" reviews, except they are probably test driving vehicles with less than 2000 miles. By the way, maybe I'm alone on this, but I like the start/stop feature to save fuel. After getting used to the feature and its quirkiness, it works for me.

2020 Jeep Compass Limited
I don't have anything good to say about my Jeep. At approximately 20,000 the factory tires had to be replaced. 30,000(ish) sway bar, intermediate shafts, rack & pinion, PRND lights went out. Have had to replace the battery, auxiliary battery and sensor. Stop start message still on. Now at 62,000, brake pads are starting to squeek. I seriously regret purchasing this Jeep Compass.
