Love This Jeep

Recently traded my 2016 Jeep Wrangler for the 2018 Compass Trailhawk. I'm in my 70s and found it more difficult to get in and out of the Wrangler. I test drove over 20 SUVs and opted for the Compass based on body style, features and comfort. I love the navigation system and the fact that I can simply press a button on the console and disengage the start/stop feature.

New 2018 Jeep Compass

So far so good. I've had my compass now for about a month. I love the look (two toned white) and no performance issue. I have a manual transmission so accelerating when needed is no problem. There's not as much storage as my previous grand cherokee, but that's to be expected.

So far so good

I?m 2000 miles in on my Jeep Compass Limited and so far I?ve been very satisfied with the purchase. My only complaint is I wish it had a bigger engine, otherwise it?s a great compact SUV.

Front end is weak

We've owned it for 8 months. Good mileage rides nice but.. we just replaced the front swaybar bushing. We were told that it is going to be a I'm going problem. Plastic part on your front end! Unacceptable.

Buyers Remorse

I currently own the 2013 jeep compass latitude and it is the least reliable car I have ever driven in. At 4 years 62,000 miles the transmission was completely destroyed and had to be replaced. I'm now at year 4.5 and 70,000 miles and the electronic throttle control is now no longer working. 10/10 would not recommend to a friend. Save yourself the trouble of being stuck on the side of the road and get a different vehicle.

Amazing!

This car is everything I could have hoped for. It is reliable, comfortable, and I love the look. Very stable to drive, and makes me feel safe.

Quite a find

I just purchased my Compass this past Memorial Day Weekend, and I am impressed. I wish there were more accessories available for this model, but I feel in time things will come out. I will update after owning this vehicle for 3 months.
