2011 Jeep Compass - 2011 Jeep Compass
I purchased my 2011 Jeep Compass new in the fall of 2011. I had researched several smaller SUV type vehicles with 4 Wheel drive, and most were very expensive. The Jeep Compass came with all the bells and whistles for a much more reasonable price. I was concerned about the quality of the interior, since previous Compass models had bad reviews regarding the appointments. However, upon test driving the car, I found it very well appointed and the interior to be very comfortable as well as pleasing to the eye. The 4 cylinder engine has lots of pep, it rides nicely, very smooth and can handle even the toughest of weather. The exterior is also pleasing to the eye, the SUV looks more like a blown up station wagon vs. a jeep, but it still has that Jeep look in the front end. Overall, it's been ... (more)
Historia
My Dad & I took the Compass up to the ATV park. We drove up mountains and dirt roads, bouncing around and laughing like crazy. It's not really an off road vehicle, but we had fun.
A Favor
Great interior, lots of options including heating seats, radio controls on the steering wheel. Four wheel drive is easy to engage. Vehicle also has traction control, full air bags, fold down rear split seats. Heated side mirrors for the snowy days. The compass has always started right up for me, and performed well on short trips and long trips.
En Contra
The things on the sides of the vehicle seem to bubble and crack within a year. The four wheel drive control is in a very odd place, underneath the center console, you have to push the center console back to engage it, it's also a cheesy level that doesn't quite feel secure. The air conditioning system failed within 3 years of ownership, but thankfully was covered under warranty. It could use a 6 cylinder motor in it- while it has pep once it gets going, something a little bigger would be nice.
2013 Jeep Compass - Great compact get anywhere car
I like my Jeep Compass for many reasons. I like the power behind the engine. I like that off road features. It handles well in bad weather. And its very stylish.
Historia
This vehicle was fun driving to Galveston as we were able to drive it on the sand at the beaches and save tons of gas when we travel.
A Favor
My top favorites about this vehicle is first of all the "get up and go" behind the engine. I love that I can fit this car in tight places like a normal compact car and drive it like its a 4x4, its like a transformer! Another thing that I like is that its good on gas mileage. I also appreciate the fact that I can fit a lot of people in this care, seats 5. And the storage in the hatch back is unbelievable all while keeping its small sleek design.
En Contra
I cant say have any real negative things to say but I guess if I have to list something it would be that this vehicle is quite loud. Also there is not a lot of leg room in the front. Another thing is that fabric on the seats are hard to clean. And I don't have the option to turn off the passenger side air bag. The roll over warning also kinda frightens me.
2016 Jeep Compass - Great family car with good gas mileage
I really enjoy driving my Jeep Compass. It drives and feels like an SUV but gets the fuel economy of a sedan/car. The purchase price was in my budget and I feel that it was reasonable for all the features that I received with my car. I do like that it has satellite radio already installed. The Bluetooth audio has good sound quality, but is a little hard to set up. My biggest gripes about this car are that it doesn't have lighted mirrors in the visor and there isn't an option for "miles to empty" on a tank of gas. These two improvements would make my driving experience a whole lot better.
Historia
This is my first new car purchase and it only transpired because I moved to 7000 elevation and now live in a snowy winter climate. This is a great car to get around in my new snowy area.
A Favor
Great gas mileage
Large storage area
Easy for kids to get in and out of
Satellite radio
Bluetooth audio
En Contra
Miles to empty display missing
No lighted mirrors in visor
