2018 Jeep Compass for Sale in Grand Rapids, MI

I had no intention of buying a new car until I drove a rental Compass and just couldn't believe how it drove. I highly recommend test driving this car if you are thinking of buying a new vehicle.

My 2018 Jeep Compass Limited left me stranded twice. Both times it would not start. They were unable to find the problem. Two trips to the dealer. First time it had a little over 200 miles on it second time 3,500 miles on it. Battery is good, charges, mechanic thinks there is something that is causing the battery to lose charge, but, is unable to figure it out. I am now involved with FCA Customer Care . Hoping for a fix to the car,as, it is fun to drive when it works. Comfortable for me , fun panoramic sunroof, and a nice radio. Though being worried every time I go to start it , is not a nice way to feel. This is a safety issue. I would not buy this car again...Too many hassles with the car and aspects of having to work with FCA. I am very happy to read of all the people that are loving their cars. It gives me hope..Be sure you purchase the extra rental policy with the car..

This jeep is by far my favorite I've ever owned. This Is my 3rd jeep. Very comfortable and very nice to drive. I love this style. I reccomend it to all

Everything is great except for one thing. We dislike the stop/start feature. It does not save gas like they say it does and the fact it has to be hard on the engine and the starter and the fact if the system fail to start back up , it may leave a family stuck in a dangerous traffic situation...I was not use to it and gave it too much acceleration and nearly rear ended the car in front of me..... This device is a big joke.......

This vehicle meets my needs for running around the city. A little small trunk area but should meet 95% of most owners needs You will like how this vehicle handles in all types of weather too.

This car is perfect It is the best car I've ever owned very safe and reliable The staff at Elmwood Dodge were very nice and knowledgeable

Perfect size, rides smooth, material is thick and realistic looking inside. The exterior body has a beautiful design and structure to it. Highly recommend the limited edition

This vehicle is big enough for me. Economic. I owned a Durango for the past 12 years and it was time to down size. Many features I will have to learn and get used to.

I’ve owned a few cars in the past, an infinity, a ford, and a Jeep. The Jeep is by far the most reliable car I’ve had. The performance in inclement weather is stellar. I just wish I would have bought a car with the larger gas tank. I’ve had the car for almost a year now, and I still remember all the complements I received, especially from other Jeep owners. I remember once passing by a car dealership and seeing someone point at my car and mouthed, that’s the car I want. so as far as exterior style, this car gets a 10’s across the board. It’s a sleak and sexy car, the ivory body and the back glass roof top. Good combo! The leather interior is very comfy, I love the lumbar support this car offers. I hate the small holes in the chairs leather design. This car runs smooth as long as you take it on a smooth ride. The car doesn’t accelerate very fast so if you want to speed up, slow and steady should be be way. So far I like it. I hope it continues to perform above my expectations. This car does especially well on bumpy roads, and potholes. Which is why this is a great car for NY’ers. (The UCONNECT system is great when it works, but the uconnect folks are always updating it and making enhancements, so they are going the right way with this.)

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.
