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 ...

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.

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.

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.
