I've only had the Compass for 6 days but I absolutely love it. I have the Limited Trim with the panoramic sunroof, which is really nice. I'm really excited to see how it handles the snow in winter. There's a lot of things I like about it, but I don't have time to mention everything lol. All in all I'm happy I chose this jeep.

Still The Best Small SUV Jeep

2020 Jeep Compass Latitude 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
8 of 9 people found this review helpful

I’ve had my 2020 Jeep Compass Latitude 4X4 for over 16 months. In that time I have put on over 9800 miles. There was one minor recall for a replace bolt on the windshield wipers. Mileage has been satisfaction averaging about 24 MPG. The Compass has proven to be solid and reliable. The ride is smooth and in the city or highway speeds the 4-banger is quiet, and with 180 horses is quick off the line. The 9-speed transmission can be quirky at lower speed shifts, but this is corrected once you get use to working with the shifts. The interior has held up well , with very comfortable seats and the ergonomics are excellent. The hatch area is satisfactory and easily accessible. Would I buy another one, yes, but probably would go for an upgrade so there are more options like a power seat, navigation system, etc. The price points are really affordable with a range of $28,000-$34,000. I would highly recommend this Jeep.

Wasn’t impressed

2020 Jeep Compass Trailhawk 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
7 of 8 people found this review helpful

While I was in search of my crossover I did lengthy test drive of trailhawk trim. Keep in mind my review is based on 30k mile formee rental (supposedly well maintained by a big rental company) Ride is comfortable and interior is “cool”. Infotainment is typical FCA quality, easy to connect and play, probably one of the best. Drive was...sluggish. Transmission is very temperamental and just not present to drive. Steering control is good but not best. Rear view is cut by big pillar on tail and could use 360 cam. It’s a great looking mini crossover and i am sure some folks love it, but it was just not for me...and used car price was as much as Japanese cross in similar class (I think MSRP is set too high to start)
