Love it

This car is exactly what I’ve searching for! It’s comfortable and they style is perfect. It was a great price, low miles and I absolutely love it.

Loved the way it drove!!

This is my dream car. The interior was two toned. It drove great. Can't wait to own one. The vehicle was comfortable and very enjoyable to be in.

Great SUV from a company that knows SUV’s

Great vehicle with really get up and go from a four cylinder. Really like the styling cues of this compass. Steering wheel feels really good in hand, really enjoyed the touchscreen infotainment. Really glad it had Apple CarPlay. Never needed navigation because of that alone. Seats comfortable. Was going to sell and buy a Range Rover Evoque. Test drive it, great car but it was crazy how there were things in our Jeep Compass that the Evoque didn’t offer for nearly double the price! I especially liked the added storage underneath the floor of the hatch.

Great vehicle

I wanted a car that had a little bit more room but not a huge vehicle. The Jeep Compass checked all the boxes for me! It’s big enough to transport me and my two dogs but also small enough I don’t feel like I’m driving a tank. I love it.

This car is a joy to drive

This car is smooth shifting ,roomy , and has steady muscular accelreation for a 4 cylinder . The navigation and 8 in. Touch screen is very easy to use and the safety tech features are amazing . My wife especially loves the ski gray 2 tone seats and panoramic sunroof . Very comfortable ride and cornering on the limited edition model .

Best car I have owned

I've been leasing Jeeps since 2002 and this is the best one I've owned. The interior is very comfortable and stylish and the car has driven over 80k with only brakes and front struts needing replacement (but my part of the country has some very rough roads, so front end work is a given). Never had trouble starting up, getting through snow or maneuvering. I'm very satisfied with this car.

Garbage

Bought a 2018 compass latitude new, at 28k miles started burning oil. Didn’t know until I checked the dipstick and there was nothing on it. The dealership tried saying I was responsible if it needed a motor because I was doing the oil changes. Come to find out it’s a common issue with the 2.4 motors and then had them do an oil consumption test. They said it didn’t consume enough to put a new motor in even though it was burning 2qts a week. Got corporate involved and finally after three months they scoped the motor and all the cylinder walls were scored. It was a candidate for a new motor but they were on back order. Finally had enough and got a new car and terminated the lease, there problem now. On top of that problem the car also had shifting problems were it would shift very hard randomly and it shut off on the highway once. Save yourself and stay away from these cars. Nothing but problems and many reports to back it up

Great car worth the price, very reliable and fun!

I previously owned a Jeep Patriot. It was an easy transition as I really did like my Patriot. The compass I feel is a better car and with it being 7 years newer, it’s got all the bells and whistles I wanted. Small enough to zip around and big enough to haul things with. I’m happy with my Jeep Compass.

THEEEE BIGGEST PILE OF CRAP EVER

The issues ive had with this car in the first two months of owning are as follows. -Blind Spot Detection System -Humming from drivetrain -Locks locking and un-locking on their own, while in park or driving -Rear window will randomly go down when trying to use front window -Parking brake randomly sets itself when going into park. (not consistently.)
