Amazing accommodations and performance

It is unbelievable what jeep has built around a 9speed 4cyl 4x4.I had to put fuel economy first,but couldn?t buy a car or 2wd slug,this jeep gives me more than I need in a compact economical pkg.

Newest but also the best car I?ve ever owned!

I?ve had and driven all other jeeps and the Jeep Compass by far is my absolute favorite. Has a smooth ride and comes with auto start! The Bluetooth capability makes driving safer and easier.

I love this vehicle!

This car is perfect for all my needs. Living in Colorado I needed a dependable and durable vehicle and I wanted a smaller suv for the commute. This suv has it all, great fuel economy, 4x4 for the snow, and all the bells and whistles on the inside. Love the heated seats and steering wheel and the quality of the leather. The sun/moon roof is huge! With the media screen it is very easy to use and even better because it has uconnect apple play. The other thing I was really satisfied with was the look. They did change the body of the compass which is what sold me. No more handle high and one the side of the back door (thank goodness). It looks really clean and sporty. I love this suv!

Nice for the money

Good car for the money. Wish it was would have an automatic trunk opener. Otherwise I am happy. The screen is just a bit small

Fuel Efficient Jeep

Great Jeep Compass Trailhawk model. Go offroad and great on gas. The style inside and out is much better than the first Gen model. Smooth ride and great size for city parking.

I bought a lemon.

This vehicle has only 19k miles on its. Bought it with 400 miles on it. This car has a new problem every week that no one can seem to figure out. It can barely go up a hill and shifts so hard while driving. My transmission is acting like it already needs replaced. On a brand new car. Extremely disappointed with thos vehicle and will be selling it the second I pay it off. Who puts a 4 cylinder in an SUV? I dont even drove the car now. It just sits in the drive way.

What A Big Difference!

I used to own a 2017 Jeep Renegade. When I got in this 2018 Jeep Compass, though being a vehicle of almost the same size, Jeep totally designed this car differently. This vehicle not only has a more spacious interior due to the shape of the vehicle, but it also drives much smoother, drives much quieter, feels super comfortable, and includes rear A/C units. But whether you buy a Compass or a Renegade, do make sure you get one with a sunroof, the double pane sunroofs in Jeep vehicles are really cool and totally worth it!

We own a few Jeeps in our family and love em!

The Compass is a new vehicle for us, have not had it a week yet. But our daughter in law owns one and really likes it and we believe we will too. Our youngest son is 6'1 and he doesn't have a problem in the front or back. It is quite a bit smaller than our Grand Cherokee but I wanted something smaller. It rides really nice and feels great to drive. We got the Trailhawk package, so I can't wait to see how it handles in the snow. Between our parents, adult children and a niece and nephew we own 9 Jeeps. One of every single model!
