KBB.com Review
Kbb.com Expert Rating
The 2012 Compass is an accessory for those whose idea of "off-road" extends no farther than a dirt parking lot at the football stadium. Just don’t expect it to be a genuine Jeep.
If you are a true Jeep enthusiast looking for an entry-level price point and a modicum of economy, you’ll ultimately be disappointed by the car-based credentials of the Jeep Compass; a base Grand Cherokee would provide you with a far more capable choice. If your needs and tastes lean toward a car-based crossover, we’d suggest a Subaru Forester if you want something more expansive, or a Nissan Juke if you’d like something more expressive.
