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.
2007 Jeep Compass - Very dependable and low maintenance
I have had my car since 2007, and it has only had very minor issues associated with it. It has been super dependable and very easy to keep up. I think that it also gets good gas mileage. Another thing I like about my car is that it is small yet still an SUV. This gives ample room for moving things, bikes, etc, while also making it easy to maneuver and park. One of the few things that I do not like about my car is the color. It is silver and in general I prefer black cars. It is not very fast either, but the brakes and handling are very good. I live in the Midwest and this car is also great in the snow. I see other people sliding around in the winter, but I feel safe when I drive my car in the snow. I wish that my car had a sunroof, but that is a minor issue. The backseat is a little sm... (more)

Driving around with the windows down just enjoying life!
A Favor
My favorite thing about my car is that it has been super dependable and very easy to keep up. This has been nice from a couple of different aspects, including safety, convenience, and also from a money standpoint. It also gets good gas mileage which is important for cost. In my mind, my car is the perfect size; it is small and easy to maneuver and park, but it is also an SUV so there is plenty of room for transporting things. My car handles very well, is great in the snow, and feels smooth to drive. There is room in the trunk for a spare tire which comes in handy in certain situations. The... (more)
En Contra
I do not like that my Compass came without a sunroof, as I think that sunroofs are very fitting for Jeeps. I do not like the color of the car as much as some other options that were available. The car is kind of slow at accelerating; I have driven other V4 engine cars and they seem to accelerate much faster than my Compass does. I wish that the back seat and trunk had more space, and depending on who sits in the back seat it can become quite cramped. Although the car gets good gas mileage, the tank itself does not hold much and I feel like I have to refuel quite often compared to other pe... (more)
