Jeep has a heritage going all the way back to 1941, but smaller models to compete in the compact SUV sector have only arrived in fairly recent years. The American brand tried to enter this market in 2007 with its Compass model, but it looked awkward and wasn't offered in the more efficient 2WD guise that many buyers wanted. Hence the introduction of a much improved Compass model that arrived in 2011 and sold until 2014 - the car we're going to look at here. It's the first compact Jeep that really makes any sense on the used market.
This revised Compass may not be the most avant garde-looking or the most sophisticated affordable used small SUV you can buy from the 2011 to 2014 period, but unlike the original 2007 model, it offers a credibly tough and tempting way to buy into this macho marque.
It may not meet the purist perception of a 'real Jeep', but it's the peoples' idea of one. A car you purchase picturing yourself at a beach barbeque, tailgate open, its speakers hinged downwards blasting the Blues towards the crashing waves. If it cost RAV4 or Freelander money, you still might think twice - but it doesn't, competing instead with Far Eastern budget brand rivals that still lack credibility in this sector. Credibility of course, is something the Jeep name has never lacked. If that attracts you and you can find a well looked-after post-2011 Compass model, then go right ahead.

I have a 2014 CRD Limited model of this Compass. I've owned it since 2016 (at 28,000 miles) and it has just tipped over 80,000 miles. I'm tempting fate here but apart from a weird issue where the car needed a new ignition barrel, it has never given me any grief, at all. I had a Patriot before this and although I preferred the shape of the Patriot, this Compass is hugely more refined and feels much more planted at speed, especially around country lanes. I've spent the past 12 months or so looking for an excuse to trade in and up to something new, but I simply can't find anything that warrants the financial outlay. This Compass gives me everything I need, has a great sound system, carries the family and (big) dog with ease and the Mercedes 2.2 lump has more than enough low down grunt to make it fun to drive (when I'm alone and G'n'R is blaring from the 8 speakers!). Of course, now I've written this, it will no doubt blow-up and fall apart in Blues Brothers style, tomorrow morning.
I love Jeeps (I own two) but these really were poor
i LOVE JEEPS (I've owned 8) and had a 2012 Compass FDII (the Trailhawk model before they called them that) fantastic vehicle for what they were, cheap and the best offroad capability in their class.
A great " proper" in depth view on a Jeep I hadn't ever thought of.
We own two hard working Jeep CRD's which have never really let us down badly, other than a crankshaft sensor going out at nearly 100,000miles. Not bad I thought.
Zero rust on the chassis either. Towing and working with trailers also excellent
Great on hard rough ground, mud, grassland, anything tough it has coped very well. Tough machines but as with all machines good servicing is a must.
I have a 2011 Compass since new and it’s been super reliable. Just finished a 4000k mile round trip from Texas to Georgia and no issues with this scorching weather. 27 mpg estimated.
