2015 jeep compass love it!
Love it, heated seats, leather seats. Not bad gas mileage. Sunroof is nice. Plenty of cargo area. Back seat does lay down. It has a great sounding radio with a DVD player. Storage pockets in the front doors. Nice sized cup holder. Can buy a tent that attaches to the SUV for camping.

It has great gas mileage. I can go on super long trips and don't have to worry about running out of gas.
It's very spacious. Handles really well on the road. I don't have to worry about it handling in bad weather because it's very sturdy and solidly built.

My vehicle is a six shifting automatic which is pretty awesome to me.
It has a lot of electrical problems. I have only had it for two months and a wheel bearing went. Also I have lost throttle control so whenever I try to drive I can only go to about thirty miles an hour! All though we've had these little hiccups I love how smooth the vehicles runs when it is running well! It takes bumps smoothly and I feel safe driving my family in it!

2015 jeep compass review.
Car runs great. Acceleration is good. Great brakes. 4wd option switch. Is quite heavy for its size though. Definitely not suitable for large hills or off roading. Looks beautiful on the outside. Does okay on gas but because it is a heavy car, some may call it a gas guzzler. Great ride height. Does well in the snow in 4wd.

Jeep compass is the next best thing to a Wrangler.
It's an awesome size without being too big or too small. Seats fold down in the back. Great leg room.

You can still say you own a Jeep
I love this jeep, it is great because its not as big and clunky as the traditional jeep models but it still has the engineering of a jeep. (You still get to say you own a jeep) its a perfect midsize SUV for road trips and the gas mileage is great considering its predecessors
accountCircle Elizabeth C
Great vehicle. Anyone would love.
My jeep compass is a wonderful vehicle. It is 4 wheel drive on demand which is wonderful it has a slapstick which allows me to be an automatic or manual which is handy in snow. I have plenty of storage room or room to carry cargo. I have no complaints. I get about 19 to 23 mpg.

Red jeep compass is very reliable.
The vehicle has had fantastic performance. It drives very smooth, has good mileage, and its oil consumption is decent. It is very well built and feels like it could last for many years. The seats are comfortable and adjustable in all ways but it is difficult to find the controls. One of my favorite features is the backup camera for tight spots. It also comes with easy to use Bluetooth, radio, plugs and controls in the front and back.

It gets satellite radio. And easy to drive.
It is great for maybe a family but I am 1 person who uses it. I want a truck so I can do yard work and use it for any projects I need. The compass is great for the family long trips and everything but it is not for me. It is reliable, comfortable, it is nice for a family.

Piece of junk
Nothing but problems. Have had all kinds of electrical problems starting at 40,000 miles when 3 years old. Now throttle body needs replacement, electrical problem is still not resolved (after replacing alternator twice and 3 batteries in 2 years, horn won't work, trunch won't open and latch has been replaced for $350 on that). Hands down the worst car Ihave ever purchased. And I purchased brand new. I've had used cars that have given me less problems. Stick with Toyota or Honda - that's my advice.

Repair
I'm not happy with Northtown Jeep right now. I needed a throttle body replaced on my vehicle. They couldn't get me in for 2 weeks so I went to a garage I trust to do the work. I called Northtown to see if they could give him authorization to do it and if it's under warranty. They said they would have to look at it to determine that is what the car needed. I needed my car done now. And, calling the head office about this, they tell me I was not listed as owner!! So, now I have to send them all the paperwork from buying it from Northtown and my license and registration and the bill from the garage doing the work. No dealerships in my area would touch it. Not happy with Northtown Jeep in Tonawanda ,ny

Do not buy it. They do not make roof racks.
It has no get up and go. The blind spots are ridiculous. It has nice features. Tires are super expensive.
accountCircle Jeep Hater
Do not buy
I need to get a Throttle control for $500.00. And the Jeep is only 5 years old. Should not have to do that for a 5 year old Jeep.
accountCircle Aly C
It seems to be safe for my family which is important to me.
It is very basic. It is not roomy. Hard to get out of.
accountCircle Ohara P
That is has great gas mileage.
I like the gas mileage and the overall aesthetic of the car. The interior is nice but not very spacious. The backseat is too small.
accountCircle Marilee G
It gets me where I need to go. Drives and runs great.
Well I went a year without a vehicle. The Jeep was a great price for me. The only thing I do not like is it is the bottom line basic model. Only has one charging ports in the front of the car nothing in the back.

2015 jeep compass. Dark grey.
I love my jeep. It has 4x4 which is great living in Ohio. The only thing is not having enough room in back seat to fit 3 car seats. But, this is my fiance's daily driver back and forth to work and he has had no issues with it either. Even when we buy another vehicle we do not plan on getting rid of this one.
accountCircle Donna B on June 24, 2021
Great gas mileage and reliable.
It is the best vehicle I have ever owned! It is reliable and good on gas. I have never had the first issue with it. I would recommend for anyone to purchase this kind of vehicle. I like that my jeep is red and has perfect seating as well as the trunk space.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Deb S.

Comfortable ride, love the heated seats. All knobs are close to the steering wheel. Very good gas mileage. Does well in the mountains with the 4 wheel drive. Like sitting up higher to see the road better.

likeFilled Leah D.

This is a simple model and not as big as the Cherokee. These are simple models and they are better for people that didn't want all the electronics. They are four cylinder and get very good gas mileage.

likeFilled Tina P.

Some pros that would help other potential buyers that may be interested in this vehicle is that it's an affordable SUV. The vehicle also has a very nice looking interior and has decent space in the rear end of the vehicle.

likeFilled Monica F.

Comfort, reliability, rear view camera, color, bluetooth connectivity, size, technology, safety, heated seats, space, gas mileage, look, electrical outlet with plug access, and it is overall just a good car, got into a couple accidents with it and it is protected me very well!

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Deb S.

I would like it a little longer to have a third seat. And that the camping tent was available for it. The light and wiper switches, I would like to change them. I am use to the wiper switch being on the left and the light switch on the right.

dislikeFilled Leah D.

They are simple which means that some people may not like that this model has roll down windows. It also has manual locks. It does not have a nice sound system. It just has a regular radio, but it is a good vehicle.

dislikeFilled Tina P.

Some cons for this vehicle is that it is not a smooth ride. There were also issues with the vehicle when I first purchased it. There is not much technology in the vehicle either. There is also not enough trunk space.

dislikeFilled Monica F.

No a/c vents in the back seats, no automatic lights, Bluetooth connectivity is in and out, speed is not the best, wish it held more gallons of gas, wish the seats didn't have so much space between so many things fall down the side.

Is The 2015 Jeep Compass A Good Value?

I think it costs about 20, 000 dollars. I wish it was cheaper but it is a nice vehicle and big enough for your family and a pretty huge trunk.
Jessica H.
I bought it for 11,500. I believe I got a great deal on it and I like driving it and seems like it was worth the money.
Kevin K.
When I purchased my vehicle, I believe the car cost about $16,000 which I believe was a very reasonable affordable price for what the car offers.
Makenna S.
The value all my 2015 to compass sport was unbelievable. I bought it for 18000. It came with a sports utility package and all the bells and whistles.
Azhar A.
It cost about 22,000. Yes it is a pretty good value. I believe I purchased it at a good price for that time.
Tiffany O.
When I got my car it was close to 18000 I do not think it is worth that much and I probably if given a choice to go back in time I would choose a different car.
Maressia C.
I got mine used and got it for just over 10 grand. Mine is the base of the brand so it's a little cheaper than others. But really good quality for the price.
Haley L.
20,000 it’s a little pricey for the year but the value is good as long it has all the features updated
