Positive Review
Being at the lower end of the crossover SUV market, the Compass takes a bit of flak from the gearhead youtube sensations who decide on what constitutes a good car these days. However, those guys are letting their testosterone get the better of them and they're totally wrong about the Compass. It's smooth, it's comfortable and it's efficient with gas. Not to mention being very reasonably priced compared to its peers. If you're looking for huge amounts of torque then you may be better off looking elsewhere but if you need a solid family car that has some basic off road ability and good amounts of space and features then the Compass is a great choice especially given the low price tag for a second hand model. Buy with confidence.
Critical Review
Had a Compass this year and hated it. No power, cheap interior and the worst automatic transmission I've ever driven. The engine is anemic and struggles to get out of it's own way. Super loud at any RPM above 4k. The automatic transmission is sloppy and is constantly searching for the right gear, which it never seems to find. The only way I could drive this car was by manually selecting the correct gear. Cheap plastic all around, but quite comfortable, even for a big guy.

In spite of the negative ratings for it I really like mine — 50K miles now, runs and and drives great. 21 mpg city, 25+ hiwy. Still looks new and hasn’t cost anything except fluid changes. I do 35K on the CVT and run AmsOil cvt fluid —very smooth and quiet. Wouldn’t trade it for anything else!
Love the Jeep, just need a smaller car.
It runs very good, kept oil change and new tires in 2024, every 3,000 miles. Minor cosmetic changes. I need a smaller car.
This is the worst car I have ever owned. The repair costs, the lack of quality. Its not fun to drive or particularly economic. I will never, ever buy another one of these vehicles.
Clean, white color has three owner had two accident. Been driven mostly on highway. Had very minor accidents. The car does it hVe any issues, mechanical engineering problems
I own this model for the last four years I have no complaints. I had no big issues just regular repairs. I recommend it.
All in a SUV
As long as you keep up with maintenance.
Safe in winter. awesome in highway all and all one of the best cars I've owned, in winter is very stable in the snow. Long trips are a breeze and it rides smoothly.
does very well in the snow
none
I am interested in a 2021-2022 Pre-Owned Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend or Outer Banks. My Jeep Compass has been a very reliable vehicle. I take pride in keeping my vehicles very clean and well maintained. I'm looking for a newer vehicle to replace my jeep. If the right price is offered, I will consider trading in my jeep.
warms up fast, heated seats, remote start
blind spots old style exterior uncomfortable seats
i purchased this vehicle about 3 weeks ago. I personally love it and it’s features. I managed to snag a model that has remote start and a touch screen radio/backup camera. nice heated leather seats, and the car warms up very quickly in cold temperatures. it comes with a spare tire in the truck, and is very roomy. the only issue i have is that the blind spots are pretty noticeable and it is hard to see around you at times.
