Worst Jeep Ever!

I test drove the Compass, after reading that almost every year Model had Horrible Acceleration, and Tow Capability! I figured maybe with the newer year, they had fixed those issues! No they hadn?t! I was terrified taking it off the lot, you enter off the lot into a 45mi. Zone, and it took me almost a 1/2mile to get the vehicle to 25!!! I wouldn?t want that on any road or highway! Horrible! So I got a Traverse, so happy with my decision!!

Very reliable car, great in the snow!

This is a great car. Even better value given how much I paid with it being certified and all. Excellent to drive and makes me feel much safer in bad conditions.

Great Value

This is the second one I have owned and would not trade it for any other car. I have a disability and it's the easiest car to get in and out.

Test drove it - didn't love it.

I test drove a 2016 Jeep compass. I love the exterior style of the Jeep compasses but the drive and interior did not have e sold. I previously owned a Dodge Caliber and besides the exterior of the vehicles, once inside the compass, I felt like I was still in my 2008 caliber! The interior was nothing special and looks exactly like the interior of my 08 caliber. The drive/acceleration was also the exact same as my caliber. I find the calibers to be sluggish when you go from a complete stop and when I test drove the compass, it was the same thing. I didn't feel as if I was upgrading at all other than the outside of the vehicle. I instead test drove a 2016 Jeep Cherokee North and loved that! The Jeep Cherokee has far more value in it and is definitely 10x the upgrade from the 08 caliber. Sorry Compass! I'm not a fan.

First Jeep I have owned.

This is the first Jeep I have owned. Good interior design. Not all of the Interior instruments are easily accessible or easy to manipulate. Sluggish acceleration. The start up and shut off when you completely brake is a pain on this new 2018. It is suppose to safe gas, but acts like a manual transmission. The comfort of the ride is a bit uncomfortable, especially on bumpy and unlevel surfaces. Overall, I expected more from the redesigned 2018 Jeep Compass Latitude that is suppose to mirror the Jeep Cherokee model.
