Really fun car

Sad to give it up, it's reliable, chic, and responsive, but I barely use a car anymore since I moved within walking distance of my job.

Great value, style and price. I'm thrilled! I'm looking forward to a long lasting and safe relationship with my Compass! Cold weather package is a bonus!

We love this Compass. Have owned since March, 2018

Love the ride and handling. Very comfortable seating. Have driven 1k miles each month we've owned it. Plenty of storage behind second seat. Only drawback to us is that headlights don't go on automatically when using wipers.

2018 Jeep Compass is great

This is the second Jeep (and only the second car) I've owned. I ran my first Jeep (an '02 Liberty), for 11 years and she's still going out there somewhere. I decided to stick with Jeep, but needed something better on gas and even better reliability since I commute in and out of the city. So I went with the '18 Jeep Compass. I've had it for going on 4 months now and so far I have zero complaints. It's a slick design inside and out. Smooth ride, good on gas, roomy, feels safe, great limited package. The ONLY thing I don't like so far is the automatic engine shut-off. I, at this point, habitually just turn it off manually before I go anywhere. It's more of a pain than anything. Based off of other reviews, I'm not too concerned with its performance in snow. My Liberty was typically fine with it, I'm sure the Compass will be just fine.

Great car

Its compact but big enough to hold all my stuff in the back. Its big enough for the grandkids and I love it. I downsized and thought I wouldn’t like a smaller car but it doesn’t feel like a smaller car.

Most Reliable and Beat Car I’ve Owned

This vehicle is so amazing, and I just love it so much. I’m still getting used to some things, but that’s because I went from an ‘06 car, to a ‘18 SUV. It’s very spacious, easy to drive, and comfortable to ride in. I am very happy with my decision, and love everything about my car!

Vehicle Upgrade

I formerly owned a 2014 Dodge Dart Limited with all available options. It was a great vehicle, averaging 33-35 mpg/highway. I loved all of the features of the Dart, but it was becoming difficult to enter/exit the vehicle because of my knees. I decided on the Jeep Compass Limited and it was an easy choice; higher entry/exit, comfortable, ample room for my wife and I. We are planning a vacation/ road trip in a few months, and I'm looking forward to it!

Software issues

Car has made multiple drivetrain noises, jeep blames software waiting for a fix. Navigation worked just fine then jeep did a software update totally screwed it up been 3 months still no fix for that either. Went to install screen protector on 8.4 screen only to find out only 8 inches show with the trim installed had to cut screen protector to fit. I would not recommend this car we have had for a year now and jeep cannot get the software right.
