2024 Jeep Compass Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Great new engine, smoothjride!
I am glad I didn't go by "expert" review, test drove and took this car! I had 2021 Compass leased and received promotional offer from dealer to turn it it 5 months in advance with no penalty, if I lease newer Jeep. I am so happy that I took the offer! This newer Compass is such an improvement compared to 2021 model. Engine is a lot more powerful, I drove 100 mph in a short stretch of remote highway, and I didn't even feel the speed. Transmission shifts just fine, in fact it is much better than the older Compass. I don't know what car was tested by review writers who complain of quick shift to upper gear, may be they drove defective models, or need the electronic adjustment of transmission. I always felt the 2021 Compass was too sluggish and had to sometimes switch to 'manual' mode to keep it in lower gear long enough before shifting. This newer Jeep has no such issue! It will shift slow if you push accelerator, literally telling car to 'accelerate'. Now, if you touch gas pedal too slightly then it will read this as your desire to save on gas and upshift earlier, but it's UP TO YOU how you want it to go. So, you have a control and the car is very responsive. I like the large infotainment screen, which isn't confusing at all. It took me less than a minute to get used to it and intuitively figure how to use it. Interior materials are top notch. I have a Lux with leather seats, with optional panoramic sunroof, Alpine sound system with 9 speakers. LED lights, automatic high-beams, wireless Carplay, automatic collision warnings and breaks, blind-spot detection, this car has everything to make a comfortable and safe ride. Don't listen to 'expert' reviews, take it for a test drive, compare to other compact SUV's and make your own decision! I would highly recommend it to my friends and relatives.

Very safe car
Yesterday got into an accident where a car ran a red and tboned me causing me to flip multiple times. Got out of the car on my own and walked away with nothing but a bruised knee. This thing save me from potential serious injury. Good job

Tiny but mighty
It has all the bells and whistles and definitely has some spunk. The customizable dashboard panel is very handy. The ventilated seats for summer are a must have!

Drives smoothly
Beautiful model couldn’t be happier! Drive smoothly doesn’t feel like I’m driving a truck by any means, but it works beautifully in the snow.

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.
