When I first purchased the Jeep, it was okay. I was in desperate need of a vehicle, but as soon as the first month went by, we started having transmission issues. It would overheat, and at times, it would just not move forward. After that, slowly components of the engine starting breaking: pulleys, alternator, and battery drainage. So instead of me actually paying the vehicle off, I had to invest that money into fixing it, as it didn't have a warranty. What little warranty it did have had already expired. This vehicle has been a money pit since I've had it, and there is no way I would never purchase another Jeep again. The headaches and lack of information that Jeep provides when you inquire about anything is truly remarkable. A company that was built on a good reputation did so poorly in these models...

I purchased my 2008 Jeep Compass in 2011. I literally drove my car at the time into the dealership knowing that I was leaving with a used car that day. My car at the time was falling apart, and I didn't have any other options. I knew I wanted either a Toyota or a Jeep. Luckily, a 2008 Jeep Compass was on the lot. I took it for a test drive and immediately fell in love and purchased my Jeep that day. My love for my Jeep has never faltered. She is comfortable, reliable, attractive and easy and cheap to maintain. The 2008 Jeep Compass is large enough to take on road trips and vacations and yet small enough to not cost a fortune at the gas pump. When I bought my Jeep Compass, she had only 50,000 miles on her, and today she has 159,903 miles. I have driven her to Connecticut, through Times Square, to Myrtle Beach, Florida, Nashville, Chicago and she has never broken down on me or left me stranded. I have never had any issues with her at all. My Jeep is incredibly reliable and all of my friends request to "take Daisy" (my Jeep's name is Daisy) wherever we go. I love the design of the front interior. The driver's seat is roomy and comfortable, but the passenger seat is by far the best. All of my friends and family love riding shotgun in my Jeep Compass because of the room, comfort and the many thoughtfully placed pockets to store and hold things. I'm not looking forward to the day when I have to purchase another vehicle, but when I do, I will be purchasing another Jeep Compass.
