Pros: "Good price, folding seats, front grill."

Cons: "Plastic interior, engine performance, looks."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7

"Review of wife's mini-SUV. Exterior: Looks like a mini Grand Cherokee, but that is a good thing as the Compass needs it. Besides the grill, the rest of the car is hideous from other angles. Interior: Love plastic and basic? Then the Compass is for you. Backseats fold down making more room for storage. For 2011, one would hope Jeep would have iPod access/USB input standard by now, not the case. Performance: City driving is fine, at least that's what the wife says. Most of my driving in this car is on the highway. The 2.4L 4 is just insufficient at posted highway speeds, you'll spend alot of time up in the upper revs trying to pass. I have installed a K&N air filter, didn't see much for gains, maybe 2-3 mpg. Overall: Perfect for the wife and short trips around town and work commute. 2 adults can fit in back, but the car feels loaded. As basic as the car is, she got a pretty good deal with a trade in, so no complaints there. She's happy with it."

Pros: "priced right, fun to drive, looks cool"

Cons: "not as comfy as my old Lincoln, but that's OK"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8

"It's perfect for me. Not comfy like my Lincoln was, but better for my travels here in the north woods. Good enough mileage, remote start is great feature, gadgets and visual interior laid out for simple adjustments. Good visibility. Price was affordable and looks/color are awesome. I'll report again after a few more thous. miles on the Compass .. for now, it's ggrrreeeat."

Pros: "Nothing good to say at all. Dont buy a Jeep Compas"

Cons: "Don't buy a Jeep Compass"

"My daughter bought this thing used about a year ago a 2007 Jeep Compass 4WD, 2.4L. Have had nothing but problems with it. The alternator went out. The A/C is terrable. Leaks oil and water from who knows where. Currently has a check engine light on that comes back to the Crankshaft Position Sensor, well the Jeep dealership can't fix it because it has an "oddball" (their words) sensor that they dont have and cannot get! So now what do I do??? Eventually it will go all the way out and leave her stranded. Don't ever buy a Jeep Compass for sure and probably any other Jeep SUV."
