I have been an avid Jeep driver for the past twelve years and they have always been great vehicles. I purchased the Compass because it was significantly better on gas mileage than some of the other models Jeep makes. Since I travel quite a bit for work I needed something comfortable that I could depend on and that wasn't going to break the bank. These were the three main things I was considering when deciding which vehicle to purchase. Along with that, the sound system is top end and the sunroof came standard. In reality, it's a practical vehicle with a few extra bells and whistles which make the already very reasonable sticker price even more appealing. Also included is one touch four wheel drive and a manual gear option for going up and down steep hills which is nice considering it only has a four cylinder engine. It is a little loud on rougher pavement and off-road but nothing unbearable. As far as room goes it could use a little more cargo space in the rear and some more leg room in the back seat but being a compact SUV, it's not that bad. The only thing that I dislike is that I feel like I'm in a car, not an SUV because it is by low to the ground. Overall I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who is looking for something practical, reliable and doesn't want to spend a small fortune.
