In love with a jeep compass.
I love my jeep compass. It is the perfect size for my needs, comfortably seats 4-5 with plenty of storage area in the trunk. I have heated seats and a sunroof, perfect for any season! This vehicle has been extremely reliable, minor repairs/upkeep as with any vehicle, and great gas mileage. I am over 90k miles now and still loving what my car has to offer!

Excellent speed even after so many miles.
My jeep handles excellently. It drives smoothly and is very easy to keep up with. I have had next to no issues since I bought it in 2017 with only one prior owner. I even got it with the original tires! If I ever make another vehicle purchase, I'll definitely highly consider another jeep first and foremost.

Good single family vehicle.
I love my car. The only downside, is that it is a little small. You can only fit for normal sized people in it. A jeep compass is not a car for a family with more than two children. The trunk space is pretty limited. I would love to have a bigger car when my family grows bigger, but for now I love my jeep.

Jeep compass: good vehicle for the price but expect some maintenance issues.
The interior trim package is very nice and has held up well over the years. The vehicle drives well and performs well in the snow. We have had maintenance issues with the engine, and the gas tank fill line has a chronic issue where it trips the gas pump when filling unless you put it in just right.

Comfortable, reliable, nice.
Seats are very comfortable and it has heated seats, remote start. No problems since I have owned it other than general maintenance. It does have rattles due to the plastic inside which is annoying. The car drives nice and handles well during bad weather.

Jeep compass: great, reliable vehicle.
This car is incredibly reliable and great in the snow. It feels safe and sturdy on the roads and is incredibly comfortable for long drives as well. We've had it just over a year and have had no issues with it. It is a great, safe car. Highly recommend.

Jeep compass - fantastic!
I love my jeep! It is a compact SUV, perfect for me as I am a college student and it makes driving to work and back home very easy and I trust the car completely. Sometimes there is an issue with the cruise control overheating the transmission, but it is a very easily solved problem and it has no danger to me the driver or the car itself (I also purchased a used model).

My compass and how I feel about it.
Dash lights randomly come on and emission control sensors always seem to go out transmission replaced at 130000 miles and also the radio went out around one hundred and twenty thousand miles other than that it has been an ok vehicle to own. Not sure I would ever buy another of this model.

Not so reliable :(
I just bought a 2012 Jeep Compass and 1st day driving it just shut off well driving. It started back up after a couple of minutes but this can be very dangerous. And now the check engine light is on ..

Mom car with great style!
I love my compass! Its foldable seats lets me have a car seat but able to fit tables and beach stuff, boxes, groceries, etc. I get 30 something miles to the gallon so it cost around $30 to fill up my tank. Its my mom car but with style! I'd say the only probable is jeep motors are specialized so personally I don't have the tools to work on it so it has to go to the shop any time something is wrong.

This car is reliable, but has some daily issues like low gas mileage & jerky CVT.
I do not love the transmission type (CVT), it is supposed to ride smoother but I find that it ends up being jerky, almost like the belt is slipping. Overall I have had to do limited repairs, which I think is good for an 8 year old vehicle. The technology is outdated at this point, but good for the year. It is comfortable to ride in. The gas mileage is not good- typically less than 25 mpg (another thing the CVT is supposed to help).

I bought it after my previous Jeep was totaled in a wreck. I have also been safe inside it during a rear impact collision.

Our jeep compass does have a DVD players so it is great for kids.
My 2012 jeep compass is extremely reliable and comfortable. Since it has been purchased we have not had any issues with it. The compass that I purchased did come with a sunroof switch to us was a plus, especially since we live in an area where we love to go out hiking, it definitely makes the drive so much more fun!

Quick things about the compass.
Buttons on steering wheel that are for nothing. Battery dies quickly. It does not really get up to speed fast. Almost have to be in red or get up a hill semi quickly. But it is big enough to fit a family in and it is decent on gas. Just do not crash it. They do not fix easily.

Jeep compass keeps us navigating.
Love my jeep compass. Perfect for a family of four. Drives great, easy to maintain. Easy to clean, all black I terror is nice. Small trunk space, but good enough for us! Can fit a car seat and booster seat comfortably in the backseat. Controls are easy to read and easy to function.

SUV experience with fuel efficiency.
The Jeep compass is the perfect SUV for those that want the SUV experience, but also the fuel-efficiency of a compact car. The 4-cylinder model has just enough power and is a easy drive. The console is easy to read and follow, while the seats are comfortable and easily adjustable for one and all.

Jeep compass is the best car to drive.
I love my Jeep compass. It is the perfect size and fun to drive. I love the heated seats! Sometimes there’s a “bumping” feeling when I accelerate but it usually stops. It has a very small tank but good gas mileage for the size of the tank. I would highly recommend a Jeep compass. It wouldn't be the ideal car large families or long road trips with lots of luggage.

This jeep has a beautiful inside.
Lots of brake problems and shakes. Always having issues and have to take it in to get fixed. Engine light constantly coming on. Transfer package needs changed etc. I believe it is a good first car or car for short distances but is not meant to travel far or for heavy use.

I doubt I could drive it in a mountainous state.
I like the size and the legroom both in the front and back seats. I like the height of the car. I wish it had more tech but I bought it used. I wish it had more power. It does not have enough power to really drive around 4 people.

That it is very strong and reliable.
The biggest things would be that you have to change the oil tires and brakes very often. It is a good SUV for all elements and weather. The sound system is great and the seats are comfortable. I wish they would update the interior of the Jeep more often.

My vehicle is a grey jeep compass.
The performance and reliability of my vehicle is pretty good I wish I could get more gas to the gallon and maybe my ac can get colder faster AMD come out of the vents that I choose when I choose them. Other than that I really like my jeep compass. It always gets me where I need to go.

The blinker will shut off even if you turn the wheel slightly in either direction
Love the style and look of it, love the color, the sunroof and how it rides. Don't like the fact that the paint bubbles and is starting to rust already in spots. Like that it is four wheel drive and the leather wrapped steering wheel. Hate the fact that when I put the blinker on one way, even if I turn the steering wheel to go around a curve (even the opposite way of what I am turning) the blinker goes off. Like the section in front of the passenger which is left open without a cover so I can put stuff there, such as Kleenex

The 2012 jeep compass is a good vehicle.
It runs great! It does currently have a loose engine cable so sometimes it will not start and you have to mess with the cable. Other than that it drives like a champ, it has Bluetooth and great bass so that is all I care about. It is really spacious inside. There’s plenty of cup holders. The seats are comfortable.

2012 jeep compass, simple, yet smooth ride.
Vehicle drives well, brand new transmission installed in 2018. Gas mileage overall is average, but small tank for an SUV. Uses synthetic oil, changed every 5,000 miles. Stereo system is loud, but could use an upgrade as it appears to be retrofitted from a previous vehicle.

Oldie but goodie, 2012 jeep compass.

Great for people on the shorter side.

Come and enjoy a jeep for everyone!
We love our car. We were didn’t need a large crime anymore but didn’t want to feel cramped. The compass gives us both. I have a bad back and needed to have a high enough entry and the compass, even though it is small, provided that. We’ve had no trouble with the vehicle, other than a blown tire and that wasn’t the cars fault. It also gets great gas mileage! My husband says it's a little slow when he “punches”it, but I haven’t had that problem. Now we are entering winter here, and my husband is wondering about handling in the snow, so that is an unknown. Other than that we really love the car!

My assessment of the 2012 Jeep Compass Sport
Front end suspension issues like with most dodge. It's comfortable and affordable. The back seat isn't spacious, but fits three. Trunk has plenty of space with the seats also folding down. I have had no maintenance or performance issues. I would buy another one. Has good get up for a 4 cylinder.

Excellent vehicle for cross state travel.
My compass has excellent gas mileage ratio. A trip for Southern California to northern California only required me to fill up twice. The stereo system is really good too. I love bumping my radio. I like that I can fold down my chairs. As a musician I like that this allows me to fit my gear.

Jeep compass that drives smooth.
It's a real nice jeep. It's got leather interior and drives very smooth. It's got a slap shift ability to make the gear ratio better and you can shift through the gears very nicely. It goes fast on the highway with no problems at all. High smooth drive always. Newer jeeps usually have no complaints.

It has a nice sunroof which my kids enjoy on long trips.

2012 jeep compass. I like the vehicle a lot but don't like the radio.
Am/FM part of radio stopped working at 68000 mi. Satellite and CD part still work. Car gets good gas mileage and does well in the snow. The car handles well and looks sporty. At 70000 miles it has a fea rattles. My only complaint so far has been the radio. The 4wd has helped me get to work in the winter each year as I am essential personnel. The car runs smoothly and I make sure I get oil changes every 3000 miles. I had a sensor go out at 35000 miles that caused the car to stall. The sensor cost about 150 dollars and 300 to install it. I like the car.

Not really any problems. It has heated seats. It is very comfortable. Very smooth when driving. Drives very well on off road trails. Has an automatic starter which is very nice in the winter time when it is cold and in the summertime when it is hot. Also has a really pretty blue color which is very nice and shiny when it is clean. It has tinted back windows which makes it nice when you have a baby in the car. Four-wheel-drive works really well. Has a good amount of trunk space. Able to use the Side view mirrors easily and it accelerates very well

I love the touch screen radio w a button where it saves your fav songs or artist.
I love my 2012 Jeep compass. I only have 3 issues with it. The gas mileage is lower than the epa that was on the sticker. The trunk space is not big enough to hold much, my daughter's stroller barely fits. And the final complaint is with a rear facing car seat, the front passenger has almost no room. I could also complain that when the ac is on, the pick up is not as good as when it is off.

The Jeep Compass Limited Edition: an Overall Reliable Family Car
The vehicle provides a comfortable ride with plenty of legroom and well made seats. The gas mileage is not that great but overall the vehicle has been very reliable for the past 6 years my family has had it.

Amazing Jeep compass show stopper!
There's not really any problem with my car, except there was a small clicking noise whenever you drove fast but it has been fixed I am not sure if it was coming from where the tag was put on or underneath the car. The Jeep runs pretty smooth, I love that the doors automatically lock when you drive a certain speed keeping you and your loved ones safe. It is a great small car if you do not like anything too big it is not a gas guzzler like most vehicles and certainly gets you from point A to point B. All in all I love this car it is amazing and I am going to be using it for awhile.

2012 jeep compass-highly reliable.
I have had my car for about 5 years and I just had to make my first repair last week. This car is very durable and has few problems. I really like the features like Bluetooth pairing and seat warmers. I bought my car used and all of these features still work. The car does not have a lot of power itself but it is perfect for a small, reliable car. The car is comfortable for a petite individual like myself, however my 5'11 brother finds it very cramped. The only problems I have had so far was the outlet on the center console stopped working, part of the covering on the floorboard has come off, and I needed to replace the original battery. Overall, it is a very nice starter car and I would highly recommend buying it.

The jeep compass - something desired.
I do not love the color or the 2 wheel drive aspect of my car. If I could have a bigger car I would but it just is not in the cards right now. I would upgrade if I could because the compass is not the best car in the world but at this point in my life it doesn't really matter. The sport aspect of the car is great but it drives more like a manual when it is in sport which is not bad but when it is two wheel drive that does not really give you much more than driving regularly.

Jeep compass - reliable but not as fun as wrangler.
I bought this jeep because I really wanted an SUV again from having a car before. I like it, but it is not very tall and that is why I like driving SUV's. I really wanted a wrangler, but couldn't afford it. So, I compromised with this for now. It does not have 4wd, which I wish it had. As well as a sunroof. I miss those things from my past SUV's. But, I also knew that when I bought it. Good car, reliable and good on gas.

2012 jeep compass review.
I loved it for the longest time, but the last few years I have had a lot of trouble with needing tons of repairs. I drive a lot and even though it is 8 years old, it is needed repairs not worth the price to fix. Even when I am told the repairs I do fix will correct the problem, there’s always more.

Jeep compass 2012 sport..
I bought my car used, so there were a few issues with it, and it was pricey to fix some things. It is a good car overall, but I would recommend a newer year if possible. Most jeep owners will tell you that gas is not fun to buy so often but if you take care of the car, gas mileage is not really that bad. I plan on making modifications to my car if I do not just upgrade to a new one but definitely look into the history of the car to make sure there’s no hidden damage (like water damage) and you’d be all set.

Dependable family car, good for hauling some bigger items and good gas mileage.
I chose to buy my compass in a standard instead of an automatic, that is my preferred type of car. The clutch went bad in the car in 2019. It only lasted 7 years and it was is at 79,000 miles. It has been a very dependable car besides the clutch going out last year. It costs around $40 to fill the gas tank, it gets good gas mileage. I have received a few recalls for the safety features in the car, they have been fixed, and I had not had any problems with the car with the recalls. It is comfortable to ride in. We have taken it on vacation a few times and it is smooth to ride in. It has cruise control, a CD player, radio player, and audio jack. The clock is easy to change. There are 4 cup holders, 2 in the front and 2 in the back. The ones in the front are lit up. The glove compartment is small but there is an enclave right above it where you can store things. If you need to put something large in your car the back seats lay down flat. We moved our 70 inch TV in this car. There is plenty of room in the hatch to use on a day to day basis. It comes with a spare tire and jack under the hatch floor. I like that it is the size of a crossover, bigger than a car but not quite an SUV so the gas mileage is still reasonable. Overall I am very satisfied with this vehicle and I do not plan on trading it in for some time.

2012 Jeep Compass Limited 4x4
I am only the second owner of my jeep and in the first year I put about 20,000 miles on it. I have not had any problems with it at all. I've done some light maintenance on it just to prevent worse problems. I've replaced the brakes and rotors, got new tires, kept up on all oil changes, and gotten a tune up just to ensure that things run smoothly. I wasn't really having problems with any of these things, but with the amount of miles and being unsure of the maintenance from the previous owner, knew it was just time to update some things on the jeep. It's definitely reliable and has never left me stranded or without a vehicle. It has all leather interior that is still in perfect condition to this day. The only downside that I have about it is that car seats are a little snug when they are rear facing but otherwise still can be manageable. I'd definitely recommend this jeep if someone was considering it.

Great purchase, this is a good car.
I have had this vehicle for 8.5 years, and I love it. My job has taken me around the world and was accepted in those countries. It is what you would expect from a jeep, moves well over all kinds of terrain, but smoothly. Other than having to replace the transmission due to an unidentifiable “whine” noise, it is met my expectations.

Great pick for a first time buyer on a budget.
Great car for a commuter on a budget. Have had it for almost 6 years and rarely does it need work beyond regular maintenance. It does not accelerate super fast, but it is fine. It can also be a bit loud, and in the extreme heat in the summer sometimes the computer thinks it is overheating when on long road trips. Still, great car for a first time buyer on a budget.

Great SUV for small families.
This is a great car for a small family. The back seat is a little small if you are going to have car seats in the back. Also there are no AC vents in the back seat. The trunk space is great and the back seats fold down for extra room. The clock in mine is always slow. When you reset it, within a few days it is slow again. This may be a wiring problem. Overall a good car, but if you have more than two kids, it will be too small for you.

Augh - has its perils and problems. But all in all reasonable.
Door gaskets seem to come off or get misaligned easily. Transmission is in constant need of refilling. =.

Jeep- excellent SUV with awesome standard features included.
I really love my Jeep. When I was looking for a vehicle with 4 wheel drive the Jeep had the best standard features at no extra costs that I also really wanted. The heated seats are a must have and are extremely warm for both your back and bottom. Automatic start was also another standard that I wanted and got. An added feature was the volume and channel changer for the radio on the back of the steering wheel, so you don't have to take your hands off the wheel. The 4 wheel drive is as easy as pushing 1 button and it turns on and definitely helps in bad road conditions. I also like the electric windows and the interior light are very cool, like the ones on the cup holders and for the windows. The back seats are very spacious and comfortable although a downside to sitting in the back seat is the front seat headrests are very high so it makes it hard to see out the front window. I had only 1 issue with my Jeep the whole time, under my warranty period, and that was my gear shifter got stuck in the park position. It was fixed and I had no other problems just all regular maintenance. The only extra that I did not get on my vehicle was the screen in the middle dash that has phone Bluetooth hook up and navigation that I really wished I had gotten then. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone who is looking for a SUV, or 4x4 vehicle.

The previous owner didn't take care of it. I've replaced just about everything on it and it's only a 2012. Gas mileage is a pain.
Gas mileage requires frequent fill ups. It is better to track by using the mileage instead of the gas tank.

Jeep Compass issues. You can turn the four wheel drive on and off on the fly
Poor gas mileage. ABS, traction control, and 4 wheel drive all went at the same time. It was bought used with no antenna, or backup camera. Drives like a car and can get through snow ok. Automatic transmission. Would like to get a more fuel efficient car

It is a perfect small family car. Plenty of space in the back to pack things in.
The sport is very simple. I so wish I had gotten a 4wd, though. The ride is smooth and I haven't had much of any maintenance since I bought it brand new 7 years ago, just general upkeep. I do not care for the handle on the back doors. They are very hard to grip and it is an awkward position for your hand.

IT IS RELIABLE AS WELL AS FUEL EFFICIENT, MINIMAL UPKEEP
Have had no problems, very reliable for the mountains where we live, good gas mileage considering we live in the mountains

My Jeep compass dow go well in bad weather.
The Jeep uses too much gas, uncomfortable to drive and feels like I am driving a train I have broke down several. Times and when I have it checked they say there is nothing wrong with the car, it is uncomfortable to drive because it makes very wide turns and has little power especially when going up hills and mountains.

Quality SUV at a reasonable price.
Fairly reliable. Had a transmission failure during a cross country drive. I wish the acceleration was better. Love the heated seats and heated mirrors. 4 wheel drive is good in the snow. Overall I really like my jeep compass and would consider buying another in the future.

Lovely, reliable, safe, and fun first car
It's super reliable and has such a good personality. It's fun and easy to drive and would recommend it for anyone. It was my first car and I feel incredibly safe in it. Sometimes it is a bit loud or clunky feeling but it was a great starter. It's super cute and is the perfect size for me. Being four wheel drive, it's very handy for cold weather.

Tough and sporty stylist but yet rugged durable.
It rides great to be a Jeep it can stand the rough roads also I just do not like the take off to me it does take off fast and I have to realize its a Jeep not a sports car recommend it if you like a small SUV that is sporty but yet stylist its roomy for its size and give you pulling power when you need it.

Fun to drive and comfortable.
It rides and drives nice. Wished it got better gas mileage. It is roomy. It has several extras like remote start. Wish it had a navigation system and backup camera. The seats are comfortable so makes driving comfortable. Take it everywhere. Love driving it.

I love my jeep! Highly recommended.
After seven years my vehicle still runs great, the only issue I have is that the trim on some of the buttons has worn off and the check engine light comes on frequently but mechanics cannot find a problem. I have replaced the throttle body and got 2 new batteries, but I am very happy with my vehicle.

I love my little four-wheel drive!
I love my compass! It has sufficient power for a 4wd, four cylinder SUV. It also gets good gas mileage. My family of 4 have plenty of room and the back hatch is spacious. My compass handles well, not like a boxer SUV. The interior is ok, I wish it were a little nicer. No major issues have occurred with my compass. This was the first jeep product I have owned but I will own more in the future based on this purchase.

Jeep 2012 black compass 4 doors.
The gas tank is kind of small, so every now and then I have to go get gas and that is annoying but other than that it is ok, very smooth to drive, everything is made with good quality and it is a great car for those who does not want to spend a lot a money in a 2010+ SUV.

It is NOT a gas hog. You can afford to drive this car.
I love this car mainly for it's gas efficiency. It is very affordable to drive. It has saved me a huge amount of dollars in gas consumption. I love the heated seats during the winter months. I am having some problems with radio reception. Recently haven't been able to use radio at all.

Durable, reliable, and wonderful heated cloth seats.
I love my jeep! Its durability is wonderful and it handles well in snow. I love the heated cloth seats and the interior. I do think that a thermometer sensor, needs to be updated. It causes my check engine light to be on and my auto start to be disabled.

The car is very easy to drive and maneuver about on highways and interstates.
The 2012 Jeep compass is a compact SUV that in my opinion is perfect for first time drivers. The car does have a few blind spots but learning where those spots are just makes you learn to be a better driver and more cautious on the road. I have had my Jeep for almost three years and to this day I still love it. I have had no real problems out of it and even though it is a compact SUV there is quite a lot of room in the car.

It's very reliable and stylish. It has a lot of room to hold things.
I have always owned a jeep and find it very reliable. I do a lot of traveling so I need the cargo space. I love it and have been considering buying a new one.
