2018 Jeep Compass consumer reviews

I was given one of these as a rental while my care was in the shop after an accident. As a bigger man, this was the largest vehicle that they had to offer on the lot so there was not a lot of choices. The first thing that I noticed was the problem of just getting in and out of the vehicle. (I am a 2 car family I own a Ford focus and my husband a Chevy Equinox). I have no problem getting in and out of my Ford, but the Compass No matter what, when my butt was in the seat, I could not tilt my head far enough to get in the Compass with any ease. I drive 50 miles between work and home and that is when my problems with the compass began. The rental place was kind enough to fill the tank before I left, but just as I came home I noticed the dip in the gas gauge (not a good sign folks). The main issue that I took umbrage with was the stop/start feature. To me this is the dumbest most idiotic thing to put on a gas guzzler. I have about 7 stop lights and 4 stop signs that I have to get trough just to get to work. For those who say that this feature saves gas... you are an idiot, PERIOD. the wear on the battery and starter alone negates the savings in fuel economy. (Yes, I am aware that they beefed up the starter and the battery to compensate for the start/stop feature). After 1 trip from the rental place to home and then one to work and one back home the compass was below a 1/2 of a tank. The Equinox it would take me a week and 3 days to reach a 1/2 of a tank. The Ford 2 weeks. The seats were uncomfortable as I felt like my rear end was hanging in the air while my butt cheeks were being poked by the seat edges. I felt like i was setting on a cardboard box that could support my weight. No matter how I adjusted, inflated, moved, raised the seat, it still felt like only the bare edge of my can were being supported. Now let's get to my issue with the infotainment unit. Looks nice till you have to use it. Why is the seat controls in a different section than the climate controls? The other thing is there is only 2 settings low and holy xxxx that is hot. Unfortunately, the heated steering wheel gets extremely too hot. The entire ergonomics of this SUV are horrible, the stereo controls are on the back side of the steering wheel is just bad placement. To operate them please hold your arms at 3 and 9... did I mention that the arm rest is about 4 inches below your elbow? Welcome to the Detroit lean club! As it turns out my brother owns an older Compass, When I told him of my issues with it, I was given the retort of "It's a Jeep thing" I replied that this is actually the 3rd Jeep that I have had to drive, I can honestly tell you that trough study and experience, and you are dumb as xxxx. Yes I figured out the start/stop feature can be turned off, which I promptly turned off. Guess what the gas mileage improved... but not enough to even recommend this SUV, go with a Honda, or a Toyota, xxxx, go with a horse, it would be better than the 2018 Jeep Compass.

My previous car had trouble getting around in the snow. I had to have a Jeep with 4 wheel drive, I've owned it for a month now and just love it! But, has it snowed since? NO..

This car is everything I wanted in a car. The black exterior is sharp and shiny. I love the style and look the car has. The interior black leather is comfortable and I enjoy having all of the features. Heated seats, heated steering wheel, Bluetooth, back up camera. I’m already enjoying the remote start, especially on cold mornings when I am leaving work from working night shift! My favorite feature would have to be the moonroof! Overall this car if perfect for my lifestyle and I’m loving everything it has to offer!

While looking for a new car, I paid a lot of attention to details and features. This Jeep has done nothing but amaze me ever since I got it. I keep discovering new and helpful features everyday. Great for anyone who needs a spacious vehicle!

This car was what I was looking for right color plus four wheel drive and drives great good gas mileage and has more power than I expected

This car met my family needs. Got a nice car for great price. Roomy on inside and enough storage space for children in rear. Overall happy with purchase

Met all my needs. Trunk room for wheelchair, good leg room front and back. Car was easy to get in not very high. Had rake on top. Sunroof was extra that I will enjoy

This is the second Jeep I've owned. I had a Cherokee in '98. The Compass is a manual transmission which is so much fun. Even though it's a little 4cyl, it's got pep. Inside space is roomy. Cargo space is pretty good, too, when I put the back seats down. I love the new body style, looks like a baby Grand Cherokee, but WAY better MPG!!! I've always wanted a Wrangler, but opted for something great on gas to get me around town!

I love my compass! Best car I have owned. Have not been disappointed yet. Would suggest this car to anyone looking for a smaller sized SUV

Very nice to drive and I love the car I would send all my friends it was a good idea to go there to buy a car.
