It's been a good vehicle

After one year with the Compass I'm still happy. My Limited has most everything in terms of features that I wanted. Heated wheel, power leather seat, fairly quiet and smooth on the highway. For the roads in Vermont and elevation changes in my commutes it does well, I consistently average 30 mpg. Wind will definitely lower your mileage, as do inclines. It does sit high compared to most. I drive most of the immidiate competition. The Mazda CX-5 was probably the best I drove, great handling. Their CX-50 I didn't like at all due to the harsh ride. I don't find this Compass noisy at all, nor do I find the controls that difficult to use. I agree with one poster that the wipers don't offer much confidence, the rain-sensing is hit or miss, likely the biggest flaw. Would I rather have gotten a Crosstrek or a CX-5? Crosstrek rode extremely well, which really surprised me, but I felt claustrophobic in it. Both the Crosstrek and the CX-5 handled better, but the Mazda was butt-slow, and the Mazda was just ok. The kicker for me was that this Compass I got for 15% off sticker, so $5,600 off sticker. Plus it has a nice 8-speed transmission. I've never encountered an issue with shutting either, so that remark confused me in the review. I've always like the Mazda CX-5, extremely nice interior, and drives the best of any of them. But chasing the options made the price too high. Jeep prices start too high, hence the discounts. Jeep is a touch more aggressive in term of any off pavement as well.

Jeep Lover but problems!

Love the car, beautiful inside and out...BUT the transmission is awful, it feels like its falling on the ground when it shift from 1st to 2nd at a low speed getting reading to take it in, they may have to replace my trans, U-Connect never works or turns it off the sound on my radio if I play it to long (2 Hours)?? I have been a jeep owner since 2000, love the look but not the mechanic of the car, poorly made, and I didn't get my monies worth on this 2022 Jeep Compass Limited 4x4

New car is a lemon

Bought a 2023 Jeep Compass thinking that buying a new car we would not have issues. Turns out that all we have had. Driving down the highway with no other cars around the cruise control randomly shuts off. At night the headlights will change from bright to dim with no on coming traffic. Wipers randomly start and you can shut them off. Engine sounds like it has a miss. When taken to the dealer for support they tell us it is functioning properly. They even told us the wipers and cruise control go off because of a blink sensor. I would not recommend any Jeep product to anyone as they are unsafe and dealers do not know how to asses them for issues.

Zippy Jeep

So far so good. I like the way the seat kind of wraps around me. It is comfortable. Everything is easily accessible in my field of view or within my grasp. This Jeep has some zip to it. I only wish it had the option of turbo or something but alas it has that lumber that a Jeep has. Overall, I am enjoying the experience.
