Comfortable with nice features. Pretty smooth ride. There is a defect with the gas cap sensor, which seems to be a problem with some jeeps I have learned. Check engine light stays on because of the gas cap no matter how tight or many times you spin the cap. Another con is when driving the acceleration and rpm drop significantly switching between, I think its 2 and 3rd gear before picking back up. Otherwise great car with an amazing sound system(at least in mine).
1. Four wheel drive. 2. Descent MPG. 3 Comfortable. 4. Has excellent torque, quick off the line. 5. Body style is appealing. 6. Reliable. 7. Good value for the price. 8. Good cargo space. 9. Great turning radius.
4 Wheel drive makes this vehicle easier to drive in the snow. It has a strong battery that has always started in cold temperatures. The Compass has heated seats for when it is cold outside. This Jeep Compass has been a very reliable vehicle.
It is a compact SUV that can carry five passengers with plenty of legroom. The back seats fold down so you can carry some medium size loads. The seats are comfortable for long trips. There is a rack on the roof that allows you to put luggage on top and can be strapped down.
The acceleration and rpm drop significantly between, I think its 2nd and 3rd gear before picking back up. Another would be check engine light stays on because it thinks the gas cap isn't on Orwell. Turns up this is in many jeep vehicles it may turn off but comes back on eventually.
1. Inside cabin noise is loud. 2. Radio antenna is old school and not visually appealing. 3. Interior is of medium quality ie cloth and plastic raw materials utilized are of average quality. 4. Interior lighting color is not pretty.
This Jeep Compass is a smaller vehicle and does not have a lot of storage areas. The seat belts in the back seat are small. There is the potential of electrical issues with the windows and radio. These vehicles do not come with a dipstick to check the transmission fluid and the process is confusing.
Because the car is build on a small frame it does not handle rugged terrain. There are frequent transmission problems. The steering wheel has terrible adjustments so when you move it you cannot see the speedometer. The seats only be adjusted back and forth but not up and down.
The 2012 Jeep Compass has an average owner rating of 4.13 out of 5 which ranks it #18 of 23 other Compact SUVs.
