Agree with this review completely. Just purchased identical Compass in Silver and black. Love this car. Traded a 2014 Dodge Journey for something smaller. As an 83yr old female, this may be my last car purchase and I couldn't be happier.
I just bought mine 2 weeks ago and I love it !! Got it for 24k white with black interior ! The color of my car outside is an army green ! Super happy !
This is a very NICE vehicle, the color is NICE, the tires are NICE, overall just a very NICE car. Nothing else to say, just a very NICE addition and very NICE Compass.
Yeah the "very nice" at 6:17 was the last straw for me. Couldn't listen to any more, sorry The problem is, it's a poor substitute for actual information. Why is it "very nice" ? is what you need to be talking about if you're going to review something.
Here in Brazil, at the very beginning of Compass 2ºGen we have all versions 4x4 with Diesel engines 2.0l Turbocharger with 170HP 258lb/ft with the AT9 ZF. Very good.
tim jordan the Limited is very nicely appointed. I was impressed compared to the previous gen. Agreed these are hard to find. The dealer only had one. Congrats on the purchase 👍
We just bought a 2018 Compass last September, a very nice car. The model we bought was the limited but did not have all the buzzes and whistles like the one you tested. We’re happy with the vehicle and opted for the 3 year lease instead of purchasing the car.
Really really nice .. as expected from jeep team .. the ONLY " ugly! " part is ; the gear shifting stick !! .. how I wished it was shorter and more similar to that in grand cherokee .
Great review style ....to the point and not too wordy . I love the design of the new Compass and will be giving it serious look in July 2018 and comparing it with the great looking new 2019 Cherokee . The test drive and price will determine my purchase . I love the design of both . FCA is so good at offering products unique in their segments .
Dude where do you live it’s gorgeous. Just picked up our 2018 compass today it’s literally the one in this video stitch for stitch we are so excited! We have two little ones so we will see how that works out lol.
Nice video Rob. I am about to buy one but people are telling me not to buy Jeep, it loss it is value and has so many mechanical issues. I am not sure what you recommend. I am trying to buy an SUV. Currently I drive Honda Accord 09. I've went to many dealers and drove their suvs such as CRV 16, Rav4 18, BMW X3 16, Forester 17, Tuscan 18, CX5 18, Sportage 18. But I really do not know what to buy. Recently I received an offer from Jeep to buy New Compass limited 2018 with 0 mile for $ 22K. The price is very competitive with the other ones that I driven. I know the prior ones are certified, but Compass is brand NEW. Please advice what to choose if possible. My commute to work is about 15K per year. I am trying to keep the vehicle as my 2009 Honda accord. Michigan roads has so many potholes and as you know, snow in winter. I really appreciate you.
Weird Jeep Compass comes in Europe equiped with a selection of 6 turbo charged engines and I'm sure both the US and Europe versions made on the same factory! 🤔
This vehicle in UK 100% scores low. Comments focus on noisy, sluggish engines, vague steering, and some cheap finishes regarding the interior. Personally, I really like the car but I'm having a crisis of confidence. Can anyone out there provide a contrary view?
I agree with Andrew, here in the UK there is a lot of bias against anything that isn't German - this car is my next car - I have done a lot of research and if you look at outside UK reviews they give you a more un bias viewpoint - take a Look at the review from Autogefuhl, they have a whole hour review of the Compass and its really unbiased and honest.
@@gpart8252 I agree too. And don't listen to that idiot on the 'Honest John' site who fails at a true review and tries to be edgy/funny or whatever it is these days. He doesn't take criticism either. Mine is a UK owned Limited 4x4 petrol 9spd auto. It's not the most economic to run but it suits my needs over a diesel, is great on all roads with lots of safety features. The adaptive cruise control is particularly impressive - on a recent M1 trip over 150miles I touched the throttle only a couple of times. Fuel consumption at 70+mph was about 33-35mpg on my commute I get 30mpg. At 60mph you'll get near to 40mpg. Diesel would be better for M-way use.
Thank you so much. Will be buying one with option to return in 30 days. Hope it goes as well for my family and myself as it will be my everyday work vehicle, as it did for you. 🙏👍
According to Jeep's website it looks like all 2018 Compass trims get the same Halogen Quad Headlamp System and Daytime Running Lamp System. The only difference I see is that the Sport trim doesn't offer fog lights while every other trim does. This is the only 2018 Compass I've driven so far although I will probably get to drive a Latitude soon.
The Test Drive oh that is disgusting. No offense. I have a major beef with companies producing cars for 2018 without LED lights. Thank you for the info though!
all models come with the shitty old school style headlights and tail lights. The lighting safety equipment package is the one that adds the LED headlight and tail light borders.
Hi really enjoyed watching this video ..Does this compass have a lot of wind and road noise while on highway speed ? Because I have now a 2016 compass and I’m thinking of leasing the 2018 but I wanna know if they I’m proved this issue also about the sluggish engine is the 2018 better with power and acceleration ?? Pls let me know because I’m about to apply
Malka Baum thank you! This Compass is way more refined than the previous generation. Much better ride quality and more insulated cabin. The engine unfortunately is the same naturally aspirated four cylinder. No turbo option and no V6. But if you drive it you’ll be impressed by how much better the quality and the ride is than the old Compass.
The Test Drive I can’t decide between this or a CX 5. At least the fake grille on the jeep isn’t as bad as the fake dual exhaust on that Volkswagen suv. It may be the atlas. I can’t remember the name.
True, but a Grand Cherokee with the options of this Compass would then run you about 50,000. So for 35,000 you have the option of a very basic Grand Cherokee or a look alike Compass that is fully loaded.
they pushed up the prices so much last 5 years, i can have a nissan rogue sport for around 26 000 awd, heated steering wheel and seats, sunroof, mags... where i live u coud buy a basic wrangler for around 22 000 years back, now they start nearly 30 000... no thanks jeep.
JOZEZAZO HD I agree good deals can be found on low miles,well equipped cars, I was speaking about prices for people like myself who only buy new and fully loaded.
I had a 2016 compass until about a mount ago I wouldn't recommend a compass even for my enemy the car used to shake with every small wind and I actually rolled over with the compass my opinion is that if you want to get killed then take a compass and If you want to stay alive all what you have to do is to keep a distance from that very unstable car
As I said before, drive like an idiot and any car will roll. I am a qualified Police driver. My Jeep Compass Limited is as stable as it gets. Excellent SUV that bears little resemblance to an 2016 model. This review is for new Jeeps . . not olde bangers.
The 2018 is completely redesigned, that was the whole point of this video. Do you troll all videos for irrelevant stories about past models? Maybe the 2009 model had some issues you'd like to mention?
Avoid the Jeep Compass! After 12,000 miles I can say the manual transmission is a joke! it is horrible! The vehicle is just awful off road, clearly never meant to leave the pavement. The 2.4 is painstakingly slow (i clocked a 9.1 second 0-60). My first Jeep and very likely my last. I am very disappointed in this car and I would not recommend this car.
If you don't have the money for a Grand Cherokee and are still looking for a Jeep that has high build quality and good performance and is good for off roading then you should of got a 2019 Jeep Cherokee instead either the Trailhawk model or the limited or Overland model and make sure it's got the 3.2 liter V6 with 275 horsepower.
The car is brilliant. In terms of the engine is as good as 90% of the competition. I drove a Volvo xc40 and the Jag E-Pace and they are as powerful. If you want a sports engine you need to go for mid size SUV.
Agree with this review completely. Just purchased identical Compass in Silver and black. Love this car. Traded a 2014 Dodge Journey for something smaller. As an 83yr old female, this may be my last car purchase and I couldn't be happier.

Just bought 1. 2019 limited. Waiting to take delivery of it. Can't wait. This helped affirm me decision cheers.
Just purchased and love it☺️☺️
Just bought this model, so far it seems great. Only hard part finding a two tone model in so cal. Our dealer had to pull one from a ways away.
tim jordan the Limited is very nicely appointed. I was impressed compared to the previous gen. Agreed these are hard to find. The dealer only had one. Congrats on the purchase 👍
Hi Do you have problems charging iphone with the centre console usb port? When plugged it keeps connecting and disconnecting automatically
DT I’m having that problem. Did you figure out how to fix it?

Best review out there bud just picking a new one up
Every like is the count of how many times he said ''I mean this is a very small SUV''
Yeah for someone who's only ever driven small SUVs, it's not a point worth hearing
Thanks for this review
Did they cover ele this time my 2016 just got it's all new fixed Box from the dealership. Not covered by fortory
I thought this was small untill you said your 6ft tall.. i know its not huge like a grand Cherokee but wow after this video i think i want one

what did you end up buying ?
Just got this car, how do I open the trunk from the inside of the car?
the vehicle is nice and I have the base model although I could see how some may say the engine is a bit lethargic
How is the engine and power going up hills and take off when you are at a red light 🤔

Question: which trims get LED Headlights? I'm curious to know. Does the latitude or limited get them?

I like the appearance. It looks great. I hate that the grill isn't functional.
flipfloplogic haha I love looking at a vent and seeing that it goes nowhere. Agreed that it’s a nice looking little SUV
The Test Drive I can’t decide between this or a CX 5. At least the fake grille on the jeep isn’t as bad as the fake dual exhaust on that Volkswagen suv. It may be the atlas. I can’t remember the name.
if youre leasing id say go with this , if youre buying it the cx5 will likely hold value better
What's standard on Limited and what are options?
Navigation, blind spot monitoring, 19” rims, power lift gate, beats audio, and pano sunroof are all options. The other stuff is standard.
Far better than the last version, but 35000....You can get a Grand Cherokee!
True, but a Grand Cherokee with the options of this Compass would then run you about 50,000. So for 35,000 you have the option of a very basic Grand Cherokee or a look alike Compass that is fully loaded.
Agree, But if you look in autotrader you can get a decent equiped Grand Cherokee for around the same price :D

You should not be looking through it while driving;-)
Buying one for 22k and that is around what it’s worth. Waiting for paper work and seeing what other ppl are saying.

Forwrd collion warning system doesnot work at all!
Try turning it on in the settings option.

Kurt Ratzlaff u bought a 4cylinder 4x4 SUV and you complain about acceleration? Lmfao you should of went for the V6 cherokee.

Jster Smithson why not go for the 2L turbo. More hp and torque than the 3.2 V6 and better on gas. Thats what im currently driving
The car is brilliant. In terms of the engine is as good as 90% of the competition. I drove a Volvo xc40 and the Jag E-Pace and they are as powerful. If you want a sports engine you need to go for mid size SUV.
If you take the Trailhawk edition in diesel (which I'm heading towards) all your criticisms disappear
I realize Americans don't get the diesel though
