2016 Jeep Compass High Altitude 4X4 6 Speed Auto

By Greg Kronbach written on 03-13-2016

I made a great deal on this mini SUV (I also own a large Liberty Jeep 4X4). It is almost as if the editors didn't even drive this SUV. Granted I would never have bought a Jeep with a CVT transmission, but when they offered this 4X4 with a 6 speed auto it was time to look closer. I bought the high altitude addition after a test drive that was unexpectedly brilliant. Make no mistake this not a back woods SUV but an Urban 4X4 traveler. The power leather seats, one button 4X4 engage, back up camera, cruse control, leather steering wheel with full controls and 430 digital touch screen with HHD make this SUV a joy to drive! The sky roof and the mentioned options give this mini SUV a very refined ride with the 17" all season radials...I guess I'm miffed at the editors opinions of this SUV. I would recommend this Urban SUV to anyone...just skip the CVT. Also, all those other manufactures, like Honda, have gone to the CVT transmission so beware. Again it's like the editors didn't even drive these cars!!!

Such a disappointment

By TeyMitch written on 12-07-2015

It looks great from the outside and even the inside is not bad. My problem is while driving it... It "jerks/jolt" you while driving like its trying catch it breath. They when you are trying to gain ahead on another car it "revs" very hard when only trying to get to 50-60 mph. I mean the RPM gets near (5/6) before I reach 45 mph. Closing, It is more dependable than my old car, but I am highly disappointed. I wish I can give it back!

Inferior Vehicle to Others in Same Class

By Bill R. written on 04-08-2016

While our Honda CRV was in the shop a couple of weeks after a collision we had the opportunity to drive a 2016 Compass. This comparison is being made to the CRV and the RAV4 that we previously owned. Overall the three vehicles can't really be compared because although they are in the same price range they seem to be in totally different classes of quality. The materials, technology, drive and overall feel of the Jeep Compass is far inferior to either the CRV or RAV4. What bothered me most about the Compass was the seemingly lack of logic when it comes to the design of the vehicle, such as extremely poor layout of gauge instruments, poor lighting and control buttons for audio that just don't flow well. The acceleration of the 4 cylinder lacks a lot as it seemed to really strain to gain speed getting on the interstate. In addition the air noise coming through the windows seemed to indicate that there was some problem with the seals around the windows. The vehicle we drove had 12,500 miles on it so it was fairly new but it seemed to drive like a very old vehicle.

Small Gas Tank

By Cathy written on 02-10-2016

I commute 45 minutes each way, have to fill up a lot - cheap to fill but the tank is so small, only about 13 gallons. Also, Jeep is not compatible with an Iphone so phones navigation and sounds don't work when connected. You can make calls with Uconnect but that's it. Have to turn bluetooth off to use phones navigation. No speak for text either.

Great vehicle

By Alan K written on 12-04-2016

Coming from a 2003 Honda Accord EX-L with close to 192k on the odometer, this car is fantastic! At first I was unsure if this was the right car for me because I was interested in some others and the styling was (and still is) odd, but since driving it for the past few months, it grew on me and very happy with it. With only 5 gears, I manage to get 26 miles per gallon combined (going 65 mph at 2500 rpm) which is 3 mpg's better considering that the engine displacement is the same at 2.4L, having the same amount of gears, having 4wd, and riding higher. The interior styling is a lot more pleasing to look at, steering is better, seat comfort is amazing. Yes, there is less room than my old car but that's OK because I like the smaller, more compact Jeep. It is not the greatest vehicle in the world, but for the price and options ($205 a month w/12000 miles a year, 4wd, free 1 year Sirius XM radio), it is a great value!
