The Right-Sized Jeeplet | 2021 Jeep Compass

- Опубликовано: 24 ноя 2020
- With a strong focus on style, value, and practicality, this Compass is everything the first-gen model wasn't. For 2021 the Compass has one of the lowest out-the-door prices in the segment, more legroom than a Toyota RAV4 and the most cargo room in the segment. It's easy to see why the miniaturized Grand Cherokee has sold so well in the USA. But for 2021 the competition is tough and there are more of them. That seems to be the main reason that the top sellers in the "subcompact" CUV segment have seen shrinking sales in 2019 and 2020, but that's a big-win for shoppers looking for a deal.

I ve done 70 thousand miles on every terrain in 26 months and this car is a beast. Best off road vehicle on the small SUV category.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hatch button location is fabulous. My wife is 5'1" and stretches a bit to reach her Caddy XT4's hatch button, even at the lowest (of 2) hatch opening distance. Hatch button location is intuitive to me. I have to think twice when using the XT4. BTW: the net to the right of the transmission hump holds most phones perfectly...also closest to the USB port, probably why they put it there! The 9-speed transmission is 'self learning' and smooths out wonderfully as you put miles on it....especially if you are the person putting the most miles on it. This also improves acceleration GREATLY. People who complain about ANY transmission nowadays typically do not know this. They hop in a car with 3 miles on it and "review" the slowness of the car and its "rough" transmission, or they review a car MANY people have driven which defeats the "self-learning" of the computer for the transmission.
I just got a 2021 jeep compass limited, white with a black roof and 19" black and chrome rims, fully loaded to the max, and I absolutely LOVE it.
How is it doing now??
The button for the rear hatch belongs exactly where it is here on the Compass. Us Durango owners are similarly blessed with this correct positioning :-)
You should have over 1m subscribers. You really make great reviews 👍🏻❤️
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I pray you all have a wonderful day, even if you aren't able to get together with your loved ones. I hope the rest of the year goes smoothly for you all.
I just purchased a vehicle in this segment and the Compass was on the top of the list while shopping around. After considering everything I went with the Cherokee Trailhawk with the Hurricane engine. In the end what turned me away was owners reporting an oil control issue with the 2.4L engine. One thing of note, FCA is listening very closely about the 948TE. One of the first surveys I got was about my experience with the transmission. The only problem I have with mine is when it's cold. Initial accelerations are a little harsh, but the issue goes away after the first couple shift.
Good choice on the Cherokee. It's much more refined and hefty feeling than the compass. Just drives like a much better out together vehicle. Also that 2.0L has some grunt, I hope it stays reliable for you.
Thank you so much for the best Jeep Compass review on the Internet!! I recently purchased a new 2020 Jeep Compass Sport FWD, and I could not be happier with the vehicle! The 6 speed Aisin transmission is pretty good, and I like the driving dynamics.
I genuinely don't know how I ended up on this video, but this is by far the best car review I have ever watched. Im so impressed and now I kinda want this car just bc I feel like I know everything about this car
One of the reasons is because of Alex he does one of the most in-depth car reviews on RUclips and he's very meticulous especially about comparing the competition
12:54 a small detail; but, a rarely found lighted glove compartment in the Compass.
Re: the transmission changes. It's a software flash.
Also if you use the adaptive cruise option it'll boost the mpg by 3-5 mpg.
Jeep with Japanese reliability would be a sales leader
So the 4runner?
Let us assume that reliability among automobile brands is... volatile. Still, Jeep products, rather surprisingly to me, rate reasonably well in terms of long term reliability, especially considering that a small percentage of Jeep products actually do see hard off road usage. Not to mention all of the sometimes warranty applicable modifications that hard core off-roaders tend to put on them and use them for. Google to your heart's content.
Dealer support and service: FCA rates dead last along every survey around the world. Google to your heart's content.
FCA gives the least shits about what happens to one of their vehicles once one of their consumers has bought it. If that doesn't bother you, peace and love and enjoy your rock crawls!
This is accurate.
@@Rain_Question_Mark
People definitely cross shop the 4Runner with the Jeep Compass 🤔🤔
After-sales support from the Chrysler-Jeep-Fiat group in Australia sucks so bad. If not for this, I would be buying a Jeep in a heartbeat. But it's a huge gamble if you happen to get a lemon and I'm just not willing to take the risk.
This vehicle is fun to drive! Good job Alex.
I was surprised I like the Compass a lot better then I thought I would. Their are so many choices that I honestly don"t know what I would buy. But the Compass would be on the list.
HIDs are no worse than LED in any means.
On the contrary, they may bring a wider/farther light pattern and better fog penetration than those cheap reflective LEDs.
Of they're reflective LEDs I agree. Projector LEDs are nice but pretty much same as projector HIDs, especially if you change the bulb to LED then you basically get the same brightness and light pattern.
@@James-il3tq Which one is cheaper to replace, projector HID or projector LED? Also, is one more vulnerable to shakes/bumps?
We don’t care if it easy to replace or something else, because even a Toyota Corolla have LED headlights standards on the base model!!!!
@Jonathan A they last a lot longer than even HID's though
@Jonathan A yeah, you better replace the car before that happens...
Alex, You say, "You might not be a huge fan of 3 cylinders." I don't think too many of us would complain about the 268 hp 3 cylinder in The Poor Man's Lexus LFA® aka GR Yaris.
Great review! I was surprised buy its high scores. Jeep engineers did a great job of positioning the 500x for the US market.
Over 30,000 miles of driving (70% highway and 30% city) I have averaged only 20mpg in this Jeep. My 2007 VW GLI was over 30mpg even though I drove it like I was fleeing from the police.
Excellent review! Looking at this for our daughter for college. I love my 2014 Grand Cherokee 🙌🏾😊
It's great how you pointed out the Compass is a subcompact and the RAV4 or C-VR are compacts, which is a mistake to compare them. I also find it pointless -- and somewhat dangerous -- when reviewers point out there is no where to put your phone in the Compass. In my 2019 Compass 4x4 Limited, there is absolutely no need to have the phone handy when connected to Android Auto. Just throw it in the center cubby! That's the point, right?
You still like the car? Any major issues?
The car is very comfy and roomy on the inside. Great value as long as you manage to get one with a warranty
You are going to need it...
So many options, thanks for boiling most of the "best sellers* down for us Alex👊🏾
People really forget that Jeep has two compact CUV's: Compass and Cherokee. You could get a way with calling it a "tweener". It's bigger than the Renegade, but smaller than the Cherokee.
In the video he describes Cherokee as a compact and Compass as a sub-compact. It’s a smaller class.
@@Lordmode If the Compass is the sub-compact, then what is the Renegade considered as?
@@chuckers40 i believe he classified that one the same way
We have a 2019 and it replaced our 20 year old Impreza. I find all you said true. We like our compass, time will tell how long we keep it.
My family member has owned a Compass for 5 or 6 years now without any problems since new, so reliability may be fine. Like you said, time will tell
@@garymartin7842 yup I had a 2016 cherokee had nothing but mechanical problems traded it in for the 2020 compass so far so good
I have a 2018 Compass Latitude and I’ve just started to notice the infotainment screen will act up sometimes/won’t connect my phone. Otherwise, no major issues - but it does need more power I will say. It’s a nice small Jeep if you don’t wanna spend big bucks on one.
We had one. Burned a quart of oil every 1k miles. Jeep said that was within spec. Blew a head gasket at 10k miles. Shutter shifting trans. Took a huge loss but couldn't be trusted had to go.
@Lucky U. Tin another piece of crap!
Yep, I have another example of the oil-burner 2.4L. It's "within limits".
I have had 2 Jeeps with the 2.4 liter motor and neither burned oil. EXTREMELY RELIABLE. Of course, I follow a regular maintenance discipline.
@@gbtriumph3216 we also followed the routine maintenance schedule. The Tiger shark 2.4 according to Chrysler is allowed to burn oil up to 1 quart every 1k miles I believe is considered within limits. My wife's compass shut off on her going around a bend on a major highway. We traded it in at 10k miles when the head gasket let loose.
Alex, I've got to say, we're counting on you to always tell/show us if the car has amber rear turn signals! Didn't get that info here, unfortunately
😬.
You are a true stalwart of unbiased, detailed reviews on RUclips...keep up the superb work!
I MEAN GREAT GREAT GREAT!! im sitting here almost in tears at the fact he's one of the only youtubers to give a HONEST review of a fiat Chrysler.
Im on the rocks over a Compass or a Renegade. (Trailhawk of course) because I want something not bulky and large that can get me around town while conquer some trails I like to go on.
I have the trailhawk model and absolutely love it
I've always kind of liked these Compasses, or at least the idea of them, but after driving an older model, I kind of gave up on them. Now I may check a new one out again.
I had a 2016 cherokee had nothing but problems left and right so I traded it in for the 2020 compass and cross my fingers haven't had any problems yet
@Mike DeMarco I may have just got a lemon from the factory
Lower left for the rear hatch button works for me....plus, every Jeep Cherokee, and Grand Cherokee I’ve ever owned...did the same.
I love cars with thick B pillars feels safe.
We recently had a Pacifica as a rental on vacation, and it took 3 days for me to notice that the button to close the watch was on the driver's side.
So many people I know are very disappointed with the 2.4L 4 cylinder engine burning oil in the Compass and the Cherokee. Is this a known issue with this motor?
Yes! Inferior mechanical quality is a general problem with Fiat-Chrysler products.
Haven't seen that issue with the wife's Compass. If you really want to burn some oil get a Subaru. My brother's Crosstrek used a quart every 1500 miles and the dealer told him that was not abnormal.
so it seems, i wonder who is pushing to use this motor only when they getting ready to issue recall on it... that decision will cripple this model
I was looking at the compass, but after reading about the burning oil issue I probably won’t.
@@Mikeom41 until it burns more than a quart every thousand miles they will not do anything about it under warranty
Jeep Compass sold 143,934 in 2019 and Subaru Crosstrek sold 131,152 in 2019 until 2020 is over this means the Jeep is the bestselling.
its unreliable
@@darkivaz-aaa1145 And brutal resale value
I'm not sure about the logic there, at this point in 2020 there is no hope the Compass will beat the Crosstrek for 2020 and we have solid monthly and quarterly results.
@Jonathan A you still can't find a girlfriend? LOL no wonder why you're lonely 😂😂
Didn't mention Nissan Rogue sport. But VW Taos should be a contender as well
I’m impressed that you gave this such a positive review. Everything I always hear about the Compass is terrible. I have a 2018 Compass Latitude 4x4 and have gotten both compliments and criticism for having it. Overall, I like it. I feel people hear “Compass” and confuse it with the old models (first generation), and this new one is much better. I’m currently getting 27.8 MPG and it’s great in the snow, off-road and it handles well, but I will say it needs more power. No reliability issues to report, I’m 3/4 of the way done with my lease now. But the 9-speed and 2.4L definitely is a weak spot. Hope they worked out some kinks like Alex said. Overall, nice little SUV! I say check one out.
Second gen still garbage. Electrics are hit and miss.
@@thomaskerr9891 I feel like that’s more so a FCA problem than a “all 2nd-gen Compasses suck in their entirety” problem tho lol. All of FCA seems to be hit or miss with electronics reliability.
I bought a 2021 Compass 80th Anniversary Edition in Feb 2021. I love the car. Value per dollar is great. I paid just under 31k and have all kinds of features. No problems of any kind so far. BTW, Alex's in depth review of the Compass and it's competition was was a major source of info for my decision. I also looked at Ford Escape, Kona, Tuscon and HR-V. The jeep was much bigger and cheaper with all the same or better features. The Ford was very nice but nearly 5k more.
@@thomaskerr9891 I've had no such problems.
It's weird because my friend has rhe 2019 and it comes with LED lights and fog lights and now the 2021 doesn't even on the top trim. Seems like a step backwards
They are HIDs
Not sure why people care if you get LED or HID lamps. HID are easily upgraded to LED bulbs and just as bright as LEDs. Also easy to replace if they ever burn/wear out. I've done this in multiple cars no problem. Key is having projector assembly so light is directly properly.
@@James-il3tq because the price that we pay, even a Toyota Corolla have LED headlights standard in base model!!!!
Hey Alex, I would like to point out that the good ride and handling of the compass is because it has a frequency dampening front and rear strut system (noted in the video of the reveal of the compass from fca on RUclips. (FUN FACT the 2013-2016 Dodge Dart GT got a sport tuned version of the frequency dampening shocks. The 2014 Fiat 500L also has a version of these shocks) It’s able to change the frequency of the dampening for great handling on smooth roads, but also a great ride on rougher roads.
I sat one last week (don't know the model) but I was very surprised at how hard the seat was..would't buy one for that reason..hard as a rock
I’ve heard Jeep has figured out the 9 speed, but the 2.4l I’m not sure.
Certainly needs an update.
With the 9 speed transmission improvements in the Jeep I'm now considering it. Forget the 3 cylinder engines in the Trailblazer. I like the Seltos but not the engine and transmission options.
I have a 18 Renegade Latitude 4x4 with the 9 speed and I haven't had any issues whatsoever 25,000 miles so far and it been a great little vehicle.... I looked at both the Compass and Renegade and II found the Renegade to be a better all around fit to our lifestyle and I didn't like the interior layout on the Compass as much as I did in the Renegade... Some complain about oil consumption issues with the 2.4 ours hasn't had any issues we change it religiously at 5000 mile intervals.. Go take one for a drive and see for yourself you might be surprised.
@@MichaelSmith-kr9qw I'm 64 and I've owned 4 Grand Cherokees, a Liberty and a Patriot. The Renegade does not appeal to me. The Compass does. Thanks.
Had a 2016 cherokee had nothing but mechanical problems traded it in for 2020 compass so far so good rides smooth
@@bigal98761 I just bought a 2021 Compass Limited. Salesmen have always tried to sell me extended warranties. For the first time ever I did get one.
@@bassistdc I got the latitude with the winter package and I got the dealer warranty for an extra 50 bucks a month definitely worth it
I really like the current generation style of the Jeep Compass. But, my preference right now would be the Encore GX. I think the GX would be more refined and offer improved fuel economy. Plus, in my area even though a brand new model I've seen great deals on it from GM already.
It’s weak 150 hp it’s worse than Jeep
I just saw the 2021 Jeep Compass for India on the Mukesh Auto Vlog RUclips channel, the same vehicle North America has but with a much better looking grill/facia and interior as well. Very Nice!
Anyone notice the rear tires are not center to the wheel well? Lol
This is why Jeep is rated in the 40’s out of 100.
Sure loooks like it’s off center
Its the camera angle.
The renegade have the same problem
it's because the wheel well skew different on each side, the very bottom of the well have similar distances on both sides, but the one on side of doors angles more so about mid way up it's closer to wheel... have to agree it gives it misplaced appearance
My boyfriend and I just got a 22 Grand Cherokee L. We upgraded from a 13 Acura RDX. I have to say, the HARDEST thing to get used to is the location of that damn power liftgate button... Lol.
One of the better looking small cuvs, but unfortunately the quality and reliability don't help it out. Besides that, not bad at all on any other rated categories.
The Jeep is really nice but for my money it’s the CX-30 Turbo all the way. Thanks Alex for another incredibly thorough examination.
But the Mazda can’t even handle snow😂. The compass is a off road beast.
Not sure why people care if you get LED or HID lamps. HID are easily upgraded to LED bulbs and just as bright as LEDs. Also easy to replace if they ever burn/wear out. I've done this in multiple cars no problem. Key is having projector assembly so light is directly properly.
We don’t care if it easy to replace or something else, because even a Toyota Corolla have LED headlights standards on the base model!!!!
As far as the button for the hatch door is on the lower end on the side there's another group of people that would appreciate that and that's older people that have arthritis in their shoulders like me that has a hard time reaching for things over the head.
Great review. I have a Renegade but will consider the Compass next. Or the CX30 or Trailblazer
Alex, the Cherokee does not have a transfer case. I owned one. It has a 2 speed axles and a PTU .
they can have either, 1or 2 speed, Cherokees have 3 types of awd which Active Drive 2 includes low range in PTU
Im first time visit your channel, love your detail explain, and 4 panels test drive love it. Good job ! Happy new year
Does the colour of the dash not match the doors? Am I just making that up?
Two different materials. There are worse things in the world than non matching software touch dash color with your interior on your $25k CUV. I dont mind it at all
Definitely manifesting this car for myselfff 🤩
Sad the manual gearbox was discontinued for USA 2021 models.
Alex, With "a ton of cash on the hood," which you mentioned twice, should we be worried about premature front suspension issues? Even in a Jeep Compass review, you were right to point out the deficiency in leg room in the RAV4. Hopefully Akio and the boys correct that in the next generation.
Most of the units I have seen are out of Toluca MX.
@@jridder89 Darn it , I'll delete that right way. It looks like those Italian Jeeps are for Europe. The first generation Compass was made in the Land of Lincoln.
@@rightlanehog3151 I know all of the 500X's are made there though.
@@jridder89 500X in Italy 500L Serbia :)
It would be nice if the Auto manufacturers would agree on some standardized terms. AWD and 4X4 for example. I'm not a fan of those terms being used interchangeably. Just seems deceptive and confusing to me.
I agree. Define what the first "4" means. Define what the "x" means. Define what the second "4" means.
All Wheel Drive (AWD) is more honest.
CX 30 turbo would be my choice, but it may be too expensive.
what about the mitsu outlander sport i love mine
Hi Alex I think Compass has more 2nd row head room than the Trailblazer. Pls correct it.
The Crosstrek has also 3.1gal more fuel capacity, for a daily driver that's up to 143 miles more driving range.
143 miles in 3.1 gallons??????
That's 46.1mpg. I doubt that.
Now if they could shoehorn in their 2.0 TURBO 4, they would have something. I'd be interested in that for sure.
The Trailhawk version has a very sensible final drive ratio to give a low first and an actually useable top gear. In my European diesel CR-V with the 9 speed transmission, it hardly ever engages 9th, and then only above 75mp with a following wind, so it might as well have a lower final drive where 9th was useful from 60mph upwards.
My '18 Trailhawk literally never shifts into 9th no matter what the speed, at least up to about 130kph. It can be forced using the ERS (manual mode) but even at highway speeds then it's so lethargic that it needs to be downshifted at the slightest grade.
Alex always talks about wide tires. You can tell he lives in a warm weather state, because if you know anything about driving in snow, you will know that a narrow tire is what you want. Wide tires are great in dry and mud, but for snow you want a narrow tire. They concentrate the vehicle weight into a smaller area and it simply gives you better snow traction. Many years ago,I owned a Chevrolet Lumina, and it was equipped with these narrow 75 series tires, and it was a snow beast. Best front wheel drive I have ever owned after 53 years of driving in rust belt winters.
Nice review. Why did Jeep embed the mission-critical vision system in the *lower grille* where it can get covered by snow, dirt, sand, or damaged by road debris, rocks, etc.? Not smart.
So which is better, this Jeep Compass or the Kia Seltos?
Wait, I am getting lost in Jeep's offerings. We have Grand Cherokee / Cherokee - those are mid-size, right? Then we have Compass, that's a subcompact. Where is the compact model? And if Compass is a subcompact, what is the Renegade considered?
A new category called POS which also includes the Fiat 500X
Cherokee is not midsize, it's compact, direct competitor aagainst RAV4, CRV, etc.
@@Mgoblagulkablong Thanks. I don't see any Cherokees around here, only GC. I assumed, apparently incorrectly, that those two differ by features and equipment, not size. Jeep's site does not make it clear.
In theory: Renegade/Compass/Wrangler are sub-compacts, Wrangler 4-door/Cherokee are compact, Grand Cherokee is mid-size and Grand Wagoneer will be full-sized.
@@AAutoBuyersGuide Thanks!
Honestly, if I was shopping in the subcompact class, this would easily be one of the first on my list. For 2022, they upgraded the interior even more. Half of the competition doesn't offer AWD, while some do. This thing (for the most part) will have a bigger size and more features than most of the other competition.
If you're worried about reliability, lease it, buy a different brand in the class, or buy a bigger used Japanese vehicle. If you lease it, you might be able to afford something bigger and nicer when you turn it in anyways! 🙏
I have a 2021 Compass 4x4. Very satisfied.
not sure if anyone remembers , but the jeep compass is just a hopped up dodge caliber... it has changed some over the years .. but i think its still have the same bones
Nope the current generation is based on the FCA Group small-wide platform.
I think the Kia Seltos is the best in this segment, closely followed by the Mazda CX-30.
Smelltos lol Kia 💩💩💩💩
I have a 2018 Compass and recently test drove a Seltos EX Premium. The Seltos is far above the Compass in quality and refinement.
I must say I always thought of the compass as being crap but I would consider leasing a loaded one and dumping it in 2-3 years
I have a 2018 Compass Trailhawk leased and I can't wait to dump it next year as it's been a bit of a nightmare for reliability/quality. The worst thing is probably the high oil consumption, a common problem on the 2.4L. One time when not checking it often enough, the low level caused it to shut off suddenly in the middle of driving, a hazard. I believe there are at least two class-action lawsuits outstanding in the US for the issue.
The front seats has 4 way lumbar for both seats plus seat ventilation and doesn't get 10 out of 10 😶
Features don't mean comfort. And that's not special, almost all the competition offers that.
@@connorPiper0 not really
@@disneyfan9099 Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Mazda MX-5. Also I'd like to point out most ventilated seats use the Peltier effect, meaning the heating is generally not as good as resistive heated seats.
I have a 2018 Compass and the seats start out comfortable, but after a long drive I do notice my back and legs hurt some. The heated seats help somewhat.
You have to be very light footed to achieve 25 mpg in that car... C/D observed 19 mpg
You sure about all 4x4 systems within FCA being the same? I get what you're saying, and you're not wrong, but I think the situation is nuanced. I'd add that even in examples where the hardware is the same, between a Jeep and a Dodge for example, the electronic control can be implemented differently to suit different segments.
Why is your video all blurred out?
I really wanna like the Compass; so much of it is a 'just right' for me . . .
. . . I still would be hard pressed to buy one over my favorite in the 'tweener' category, the Kia Seltos.
What compass is this limited altitude latitude
Had a 2019 and it was great just wasn’t built for tall people. No problem with it what so ever. Resale value is horrible for these. Alex is making this vehicle sound better then it is.
Even through this video it shows that material quality is not high and this is basic transportation vehicle.
Surprisingly, this vehicle has more cargo volume than the Cherokee, which even better than most of its class.
I'd be very hesitant about reliability of this vehicle. The fuel economy also is sub-par.
Would much prefer the Crosstrek Sport, the CX-30, or just to upgrade to a compact crossover.
BASIC TRANSPORTATION? Mahindra is basic transportation. This is a luxury station wagon.
@@gbtriumph3216 1st-world problems. Compass is definitely not "luxury" and calling it a "station wagon" would be a demeaning label.
When the plug-in hybrid (1.3L turbo 180HP + 60HP electric motor) Compass from. EU will be available here??
I don't understand how RAV4 isn't the same category. It isn't a true off-road vehicle like land cruiser.
This video was well done..
RIGHT?!?!
Please, can you add CC for internacional viewers? Thanks. It is a very good review!
I would not compare this with the Crosstrek as it is more ion line with the Forester.
The Forester and Compass are competitors. Both Jeep and Subaru agree that the Compass competes with Crosstrek.
So is this just a renegade with a different style so people can pick?
This is a nice all around good auto. A little pricy thru, considering that the AW DRIVE is not standard as it should be on this type of auto that begs to be driven off road!!!
My 2018 uses a lot of oil and I hear this is common???
RAV4 is the best among this budget class
And best reliability of course, also resale value.
The RAV is a class larger and more expensive. Feature for feature you'll pay 20-25% more in the RAV.
@@AAutoBuyersGuide Pay me now or pay me later.
This vehicle doesn't compete with a rav the larger cherokee does. And in that class the rav is one of the most overpriced vehicles not to mention the most boring and overhyped vehicle on the market.
@@theburgermeister7214 one of the most reliable tho
Can somebody tell me what interior options come with the north?
I'm renting one right now it has 37k and it is absolutely clapped out. the engine sounds absolutely broken. plastic stuff in the interior falling apart.
Jeeps look great, especially on the back of the AAA truck.
9 speed is trouble.
It’s the worst automatic on the market by far. Unfortunately automakers like Honda use it. Luckily Honda is moving to their own 10 speed which is a good trans,
We like ours. Only down sides are the overly aggressive headrest that forces your head forward. Horrendous design. And the super annoying engine start stop feature that you can't permanently disable.
If you pull the top of the headrest forward and let go, it will reset in the default farthest back position. It took me a while to figure that out. It stops your head from being pushed forward. I agree, auto start/stop is stupid. I bought a manual transmission version so I would not have to deal with it.
Learn how to spell..... just saying 🤪
@@ATVDUDEZ well yah I've already done that. I know how to operate a head rest. It's just bad design. Especially for taller people.
i would only get the base version of this car
I will take a lower fuel economy in order to get a NA engine
As the best you can say that this Compass is better than the HR-V, which has a 1.8L NA underpowered engine with a earlier gen CVT and overdue for a redesign, than that is not saying much. Would love a Compass with a better engine!
That's like hoping to get a Compass not built by Fiat-Chrysler. It's not going to happen, unfortunately.
@@tonalharmony9266 Totally realize that, and too bad that Stellantis won't figure it out. The Compass is pretty unexceptional overall, and the only reason to buy one is if somebody really wants the Jeep styling.
Kia Seltos still has my vote.
Initial impressions aside, what this vehicle IS NOT, is a good long-term investment! Reliability matters, and the Jeep brand name aside, this is a Fiat, made by a company noted for poor quality.

As far as the ZF goes, I have a 2015 built Honda CR-V twin turbo diesel with it fitted and it is totally smooth and predictable and always has been. Responsive also, with great downhill downshifting for engine braking characteristics. As good as any Aisin, in-lineZF and better than the Ford in-line six speed which is a copy of the ZF 6-HP. I believe it is all down to the individual car brand's ability to program the transmission properly and to match it to work with the engine mapping. Honda did a good job from day one and better than Jaguar/Land Rover and miles better than Jeep did with its first application, which was to the 2013 Cherokee if I remember correctly.
