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)
Story
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.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Story
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.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
2014 Jeep Compass - The car has a great body style.
The car gets good mileage for a small SUV. The back seats have ample room for an adult passenger. It is easy to get in and out of this car. The car is easy to drive and has good front windshield visibility. My main problem with this car is the back window visibility. There are head rests that block your view, and the vehicle sits higher in the back, which makes it impossible to see what is behind you unless you use the side mirrors. This car had less than ten miles on it when it was purchased in 2016 and already the brakes are squeaking. The car has good acceleration on the highway. The car has a good paint job.
Story
My one memorable story is driving some friends around the city who were visiting from out of town. They commented on how comfortable and roomy the back seats were.
Pros
My favorite feature is the body style. I am also pleased with the mileage I get. I love the roomy interior in the front and back seats. This car maneuvers very well and is very easy to drive. I feel very safe in this car because it has good front window visibility. It has good traction in bad weather. It has a smooth ride.
Cons
My top negative thing about this car model is the poor back window visibility. The placement of the head rest and the higher back end elevation makes it impossible to see what is behind you unless you use the side view mirrors. I am a senior citizen driver, and my head and neck muscles are not as flexible as they used to be. My other negative about this car is trying to see out the passenger side window if someone is sitting in the seat. I do not like the squeaky brakes after only two years and 5,000 miles. I also do not like the small trunk space if the back seats are up. This car has bl... (more)
