My 2016 Jeep Compass has been a great match for me. It is quite small for an SUV, but a decent amount more trunk space than my previous sedan had. The interior is very comfortable; however, it seems to be a little cheap. The leather on the steering wheel had blemishes early into owning the car, but it is barely noticeable. I enjoy the built-in Sirius radio, with a year free trial; however, the Bluetooth feature has proven to be unreliable. It began to only successfully connect about half the time and soon would not connect at all. The ride of the car is nice, and it has been good to me while driving off road. This car was not my first choice, but because of financial issues, it was the most affordable for my family. I have two children who ride in the back, and the install for car seats was relatively easy, although I did have to do a belt install as I could not get a tight enough fit with the car's latch system. Overall, it's a nice SUV for a small family but as I said before, small. Mine does not include many extra features but the good gas mileage and comfort has been worth it for me.

I have not had the Compass very long, so I honestly cannot speak to its reliability. In all other areas, it hits the mark. The interior is comfortable, and the Latitude trim, with popular and cold weather groups, is well appointed with creature comforts. I have never owned a vehicle with a heated steering wheel, but I will from now on. I am a former Jeep Wrangler owner; the Compass is not in any way, the off-road beast the Wrangler was. So, if your goal is the same off-road-ability with an upgrade in comfort, don't buy the Compass. If you are looking for pointed style, comfort and technology while being able to get to work in the middle of a Nor'easter, the Compass should be on your test drive list. About the issue of power...no, the Compass will not win many points, but we also own a '17 Equinox 4cyl. and the Compass is superior. It handles like a tight and smooth European sedan that allows the driver to feel confident under harsh conditions. I have owned several Honda Pilots and VW sedans...the Compass competes well with the Pilot (SUV giant) and VW (autobahn cruiser). It has very good marks for being safe...and, it's fun to drive and keeps my hands warm! Well done.
