I have paid so many repairs on the wheels of the car within the first 4 years of ownership. Whether it was tie rod ends, or rotors, or brakes, or new catalytic converters, exhaust pipe. The car did not do well for the winter because the whole thing underneath is all rusted. I bought the car new in 2007 and now 8 years later it is not going to survive another 2 years I will not repair it any longer.

The 2007 Jeep Compass is a good, reliable vehicle. I liked the leather interior, heated from seats, sun roof, great sound system, large trunk space, and the reliability. The sun roof has a cover so if it is too sunny you can hide it and keep the interior cooler. The heater and air conditioner also work great. The dashboard also lets the driver know when tires are low or when you need to change the oil. It also has 4-wheel drive and it is good for off and on road driving. The car itself drives really smooth and is very reliable. I have never had any issues or had to worry about this car breaking down. The most negative aspect of the Compass is that it can be noisy when driving on the freeway. It is definitely loud inside the car from road noises but not loud enough to overpower the radio. The backseat is also a little tight. If you have children, it can be difficult to get them in and out of car seats. The backseats do recline and are adjustable so that is convenient if you have big enough children or adults riding in the back.
