Amazing 2010 jeep compass, would recommend to friends and family.

Very reliable car. Have had no problems with the 4x4 or anything, however I have had minor issues such as engine light coming on because of gas cap. And I cannot get the heated seats to stay on. Otherwise, it has awesome original stereo system and it is awesome on gas. It is extremely comfortable to travel in.

Jeep, it's all you will need.

I like it. It fits my needs very well and is comfortable to drive. It has enough power for my needs as well.

Maxine G

Compact Jeep navigates well in the city.

I love my Jeep compass. It handles very well, just like a car, which is great since I live in a major city and have to a park on the street.

Liznette L

My jeep is perfect and wouldn't change it.

I really love my jeep. It has sunroof and my kids loved it! The air conditioning works perfect especially in the summertime when the weather gets so hot. Always been a fan of jeep and I cannot complain about it. As soon as I can financially I will buy a jeep wrangler.

I'll drive it until it won't drive anymore

What I love about the car is that it's practical and basic. It's a very smooth drive, and the interior is more spacious that one would think when looking at the outside of the car. I'm always listening to electronic music, so I usually have my bass turned up a little higher. The audio system has great quality and holds up very well. I plan to drive my Compass until it won't drive anymore!

Jeep is a very well known name and has a fantastic reputation. The Jeep compass is a very solid vehicle.

For an SUV my compass does pretty good on fuel. This vehicle does not have major blind spots. Is a very comfortable ride. I have no complaints

Carla M

I love the sunroof and gas mileage.

I really not had any problems with my car I like the size of it is small he is kind of slow it has a small motor so it does not go fast I have not had to put any work into it except for changing oil and regular maintenance it has a sunroof which I enjoy tremendously.

My favorite part of my car is how great my mirrors are.

Works great, has no issues. Came with higher miles however gets me from point A to point B without an issue, rides smoothly, great radio, amazing color. It came with brand new everything. It's great for a first car. Low payments. Has everything and more I could ask for.

It is ok for someone who likes that small suv type

It is having transmission problems, it seems like it wants to stall out on me when I am driving sometimes at high speeds or even at regular traffic speeds.

Jeep compass was a dump!!

This car has been my least favorite I have ever owned. The dash was too high up and it was hard to see what cars were near or around you. The car had many mechanical issues I had to constantly get checked out. They breaks were a huge issue, it would make a terrible clunking sound when I'd break or turn. The steering wheel was very heavy and the breaks were not touchy. I would have to give myself and extra five seconds to make sure I could break on time.

Jasmine C

My car and I have a love hate relationship,

Having a Jeep is a lot of work, it always have a problem. If you need a part for it you have to get it directly from the Jeep company, which is more expensive. The only thing I really like about it is that is good on gas and I like the high up feeling you get when you are in it.

Ace R

Great looking car that gets the job done.

It's a comfortable vehicle with a decent engine, but being a car guy I have been looking for a little more power for my vehicle. I would recommend my vehicle to anyone who just needs a good daily driver. Overall I enjoy my car and it's a great daily driver.

Dacia G

My kids don't have more room, the air conditioning not refresh on back side

It's too small, that's too many problems with the machine and 2 times.a year need new tires. So i don't recommend this suv

Andrea M

Consumers should know that there are many blind spots in this car!

I like that it's a small suv. I also like that it has 4 wheel drive. I'm disappointed that I've had to do some repairs on it that I've never had to do on any of my other SUVs.

JESSICA B

JEEP IS GOOD, BUT THE JEEP THAT I GOT FROM A DEALERSHIP IN TOWN WAS NOT GOOD AT ALL.

IT DOES NOT DRIVE WELL, I DO NOT LIKE IT AT ALL, IT IS SLOW

Piet W

The blind spots make it feel a little less safe

It drives well but it has pretty big blind spots that can cause problems

It is a great car for someone who is not looking to spend too much on repairs.

I have had the vehicle for about six years now and it has been great. I have never had to spend too much money on repairs because the car has rarely ever broken down. I have over 200,000 miles on it and it has held up just fine; I am still very confident in my car that it will not break down on me anytime soon.

Phil R on March 11, 2021

Ours is a great car without issues or problems. Hopefully you will have the same experience.

Happy with the vehicle. No major issues in the 10 years we had it. Comfortable and drives nicely and have no complaints.

Pros from Owners

Melissa L.

I really like the 4 wheel drive that is on-the-fly. It helps my vehicle in snowstorms and for hydroplaning. I also like that it is a manual. The color options were really fun and I got a bright lime green.

Anais H.

The jeep compass is extremely comfortable and gas efficient. I love that I can put my back seats down and have more space if needed. It comfortably sits me, my partner and my two large dogs. This is the best vehicle I have ever owned.

Cons from Owners

Melissa L.

I dislike the fact that it does not have Bluetooth, its windows do not quite fit the molding of the frame, so when I drive at high speeds, I can hear the wind outside. I also do not like its gas mileage. It used to be decent and it is gotten worse faster than I think it should.

Anais H.

The jeep compass is a little low. I wish it were taller like the jeep wrangler. I sometimes feel like I am too low to the ground. It's not a deal breaker for me but I did wish it had more height. Other than that the vehicle is amazing.

Is The 2010 Jeep Compass A Good Car?

Yes the vehicle is a good car but it is not automatic. To enter you have to manually enter the keys. The paint on it is very sensitive so there's random scratches daily.

Daniela G.

Absolutely, it is a small SUV great on gas and to take for road trips! I have taken my car to Vegas, Sedona and to flagstaff it have had it for four years and only broken down on me twice.

Brianna C.

How Reliable Is The 2010 Jeep Compass?

It was reliable but as it is getting older, there's some problems like the horn, the front lights, and the engine.

Daniela G.

It is very reliable. It only has broken down on me twice in the length of 4 years of having it. I love it because it is a small SUV that can fit enough people to travel. My son and I fit in it great... Read More

Brianna C.

Is The 2010 Jeep Compass A Good Value?

It was over about 15,000 and it is a very basic car. It is manual. I think it is overpriced for the quality of the car.

Daniela G.

They cost around 28,000 if leased. I am sure paying it in cash is way cheaper. It is worth the money!
