What owners and experts like about the Jeep Compass

Fit & finish

Strongly positivebased on 9 reviews

“Another thing I really liked about the interior is this rubberized section — it's lasted up pretty well, and I never hesitate to throw my phone in because it's rubberized, you know it's going to be well protected. Absolutely love them.”

Handling

Generally positivebased on 8 reviews

“It even goes around corners superbly, with its feelsome steering, super body control, and high amounts of grip — the Compass is an absolute joy to drive around corners, with so much poise it gives you plenty of confidence.”

Ride comfort

Generally positivebased on 7 reviews

“This still is one of the best driving SUVs around — it's fantastic over bad roads. That stiffness gives this car the ability to ride flat over any sort of rough road, and that's pretty special.”
