Awesome ride, stylish and great on gas

Comfortable ride. Apple car play and android play are a Godsend. Great headroom and leg roomfor people over 6 feet tall. Powerful 4 cylinder engine feels more like a v6.

Wife loves it

So far, so good. The Compass is loaded with extras that you don’t find on other vehicles and the styling is great . Need I say more?

I absolutely love it

This vehicle has everything I wanted, not the color I wanted because it sold, but can't complain! Dylan Hocking reached out to me and told me the that one had sold, and got me into one that was the exact same, but just a different color! So far, I am loving it.

Idk if it’s the car or the company

Problems from month one. Ignition shut down as I drove car while the computer updated on the van Wyck expressway. Slushing sound in the door. Cold air comes in thru the gear shift area, ONLY GETS 17 mpg, starter had to be replaced, car pulls to the left.. and that was only the first year.

Great Value - Every Feature You Could Ask For!

Purchased a 2018 Compass Limited with 12,000 miles; it has every feature (minus a sunroof which is not something I wanted) that I could have asked for. Navigation, Heated Seats & Steering Wheel, Rain-Sensing Wipers, etc. It looks nice, drives nice and checks every box I needed it to. The only drawback is the "get-up & go" is lacking a bit, but I think that's only because I'm used to driving performance vehicles like BMW & Lexus prior to this purchase. I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a smaller SUV and would happily make the purchase a 2nd time.

A great SUV

I have only owned this 2018 Compass Latitude 4x4 for 2 weeks but I find the negative reviews are wrong. As far as being under powered if you think the Jeep is try driving the 2018 Santa Fe I traded. Now that's under powered. So far for the money I would say this exceeds my expectations and I have not experienced any of the negatives that others reported. I would recommend the Jeep Compass to anyone.

Horrible Car Do Not Buy!

This vehicle is the worst vehicle by far that I have ever owned!! I bought this brand new in March 2018 and it has spent more time in the shop than I have been allowed to drive it. Every time I turn around its something else needing to be fixed and its in the shop for weeks at a time. The service department has been great and they feel bad that I got a lemon. I will never buy another jeep again!!

A Prius engine in a Jeeps body

If you blindfolded me and put me in the driver's seat I would never know I was driving a Jeep. I got the 2018 FWD limited with the tech package Sluggish acceleration and the engine sounds like crap when you push it, good luck passing anyone. Inside is roomy and comfy and looks great, love the huge moon roof. Also no longer comes with a spare tire, only an air compressor when the spare should be. Uconect crashes at the most inopportune times and when it does work is often slow to respond when you tap the touch screen, XM radio signal not so great. Back up camera entirey too bright, HATE the Eco option, makes me feel like I'm stalling out and then when it fired back up there is a delay that makes stop signs and turning dangerous when you need to be quick. Also if you open the door to back up close to something the Ebrake automatically turns on, you can turn it off after the fact but it's old after only a week. Perfect as far as size goes, bigger than a Renegade but smaller than the Grand Cherokee. Condensation build up in the headlights 2nd day after purchase. Dealer looking at it today, going to ask if I can upgrade to the Grand Cherokee. For $25,000 I expect more power than a 1st Gen Prius
