A Good Partner — good total quality, and of course very good relation of worth and money that need to buy that car. lots of pros , like 4wd, 2.4 170hp engine, nice interior with lots of variables inside so as to make your life easier.

My 2009 Jeep Compass Sport — The Handling Is Great The Breaking Is Awsome And When You Hit The Gas It Will Take Off. The Interior Is Sleek & Stylish And The Exterior Has Everyone Staring At Me. The Gas Price & Maintenance Is Great & Its Fun To Drive

Pros

It's extreme toughness

Cons

Looks like hell, Sluggish performance, the low visibility may get someone killed.

Mediocre, But A Practical Alternative For A Family Car If You Live In A Place With Infamous Roads — Miserable visibility, rear, sides and pillars. The gearbox has long marches, which, combined with the puny engine (a underpowered 2.4 litre), and its huge weight makes it sluggish and noisy. Very wide steering, combined with its low visibility makes it hard to park. Low fidelity but powerful audio system. Looks like hell; the good things about it: Nice size and ground clearance for bad roads, insanely hard body, and tough suspension. Good car to bee in in case of an accident, bunker-linke anti-roll bars.

Love It, Very Satisfied With My Compass — Love my Compass 4X4! Handles the snow here in Wisconsin like a dream, the whole reason I purchased it. Comfortable interior, love the appearance, gas mileage is great, all around much more than I expected. Very satisfied with my Compass.

Great Average Vehicle — Can't really handle off roading! acceleration is slow, brakes and handles well. great gas millage on highways, but city driving is fun (but costly). It is fun to drive, but it is the only one u can drive, so no complaining.

It's A-ok In My Book By Roxie

I enjoy the ride and comfort and the acceleration is better than one would think of a 4 banger. Its sounds and has no extra cost to operate other than gas oil. Fun to drive and just put new tires on... Read More
