Its a Fiat. Had one as a hire car for a day .... never again. It may have great milage but it seems they put a ice cram tub as a gas tank in the thing so ya still hopped from one gas station to the next. It does not accelerate. Instead it gets faster very slowly.

I've always heard Cheep was lacking in the reliability department . Some of the ones if been around have all had electrical Gremlins I'm surprised hippie has one , but what do I know Having a repair shop, I get to drive and work on just about every vehicle on the road. The first one that came in, I was impressed WITH THE ROOM IT HAD, lol. First thing I noticed about it was that me being 6'4" I didn't hit my head on the roof while getting in. That's rare for me, usually have to get in vehicles head first. There's a goodly amount of them on the road here, but we see very few to none with major problems, mostly just wear items. Maybe most of the problems occur while they're still under warranty?? Don't know, but that's why we bought one. 20k out the door in 2012.

a co-worker had one I road in , it was a few years back
I think someone in marketing said make me the cheapest price point jeep you can
engineering said hold my beer
and the Compass was born
maybe they got better in later years
his was likely the absolute cheapest possible one , it was a 5 speed with a small engine I don't recall displament .

The Word jeep shouldn’t even be on the thing I hear that about every Jeep that isn't a wrangler from the wife, she's a serious Jeep snob.... she's driving a diesel wrangler Rubicon.. As for the Compass, it appears to me to be a stayin in town rig...

Hi. Does anyone have a Jeep Compass ? Looking for ideas on a new vehicle and would like everyone ideas on the Jeep Compass. Buying a car now is very different than before. Have to order what you want . not much to test drive on lots. I have a truck so this would be a family car and run about vehicle. thanks Have a 2017 with 187658 on it other then oil changes I had to do the front wheel bearings about 10000 miles ago, go’s through snow decent as long as you have decent tread on the tires and has been a good reliable vehicle so far, on some road surfaces it can be a bit loud, would like to see more ground clearance so your not banging the woods undercarriage on real rough roads and trails Averaging 30mpg combined city and highway As for the interior size I recently put the rear seat down and put a 21 cubic foot upright freezer in it to haul home, and if I had moved the front seats up a couple of inches I probably could have closed the rear hatch, as it was I just tied the hatch to the freezer and was good to go The cons imho are where they put the rear door handles and the 4WD switch, I don’t like either, also hard to put a trailer hitch on it and while it has a roof rack there are no tie down point in the front or back But like I said it has been a good vehicle

I don't have the Compass, I have a Patriot Latitude 4WD... Pretty good mileage and enough room for a commuter vehicle. All the problems I've had with it were normal wear parts that I wound up being able to fix myself.
It rides a bit noisy but still quieter than my Tacoma.
