I love the size of the Jeep Compass. I have one child so it's perfect. It also has fold down back seats to make more cargo space but there is plenty of space without folding down the seats. I have not had any mechanical issues with this vehicle and I'm not exactly prompt with oil changes etc. It handles very well in snow and bad weather. There is a lot of cabin noise but the interior is great. The 2 front seats are heated seats which are great on those really cold days. Gas mileage is good also.
