I had a 2014, then a 2017, now I’m in a 2020 Limited and I’m loving it! Never had an issue with any of my Compasses (knock wood) - the 2020 is a lot peppier than the others were, and even a basically fully loaded Limited, I didn’t have a sticker price of $38K - maybe it’s higher wherever they are, but not as much here in NY. Only had it a month and a half, but so far I’m happy!! :)
You know I started watching Joe's videos because I'm looking for a replacement for my car. If I'm being honest with myself though It's to the point now where I'm just watching to find out how many twinkies I can cram into my armrest and how many jolly ranchers I can shove into my glove compartment.
I test drove a Jeep Compass Limited, which I absolutely loved. The interior is super nice which really sold me. The interior doesn’t look cheaply made as I feel the Toyota RAV4 does. I will say, the compass is slow when it comes to gaining speed. I currently have a V6 car which easily gains speed in a quick time. This Jeep is slower. Gas mileage is a lot better than my v6 car. For a small suv, I actually really like this. The interior and the exterior look really nice. In my opinion, the Compass delivers on both sides. Whereas, the RAV4 or even the Ford Escape has nice exteriors but the inside of them looks cheaply made to me.
I have one i love it but, jeep should fix the below: - Add more room for keys, mobile, wallet, glasses - Windows buttons control need to little shifting back because when you try to push driver window, your hand will push the back window putton - switching off auto stop function. - add 360• camera system.
First time I've seen interior storage described by the amount of Twinkies one can have to avoid being a "Hangry Man." The cop Bruce Willis befriends, in the first Die Hard movie, must be your spirit animal.
Oh man I remember being at an airport Hertz once, I had booked a full size sedan and the goofball at the check in booth gave me the keys to a Compass. This was back in 2015 or 2016 so it was the hideous old model. I went back to him in a furious rage and demanded he rectify the situation. Five minutes later I drove away in a Cadillac XTS!
Everyone is talking about 30-40k for this but I don't see any prices like that on the market. Seems like a great car for 20-25k, right? (those are the prices I've seen)
I work with a woman who leased a Compass starting 2018 and it's been nothing but trouble for her ...... 2 replaced motors already and still not right, 5/31/2020 .... ... I told her to think twice about her next lease/purchase ...
ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANICA ?! Dude your’re showing “ OUR “ age!! Say roll-a-deck next time🤪😜 I live for your comments like that. ( Twinkie’s , tootsie rolls ) I really admire your work and enthusiasm . It really shows and your detail in your critiques . I watch your channel a lot . Especially when you test drive mustangs . I love it !!! Keep up the good work brother .
In response to my previous comment, most vehicles the Compass competed with have very hard, uncomfortable seats so it’s acceptable (I think?) in its price margin. I wish they would make them even a tad bit cushier.
I've got a 07 compass with 327,000 kms (203,000) miles. My parents got it in December 2010, with 72,000 kms (44,000) miles. It has been a fantastic car, had the original 2.4L engine and cvt transmission. Unfortunately it's getting pretty rusty and most repairs exceed the value of the car. So it's going to the scrap yard pretty soon. Which really saddens me, because it still runs and drives beautifully. Like this 2020 he reviewed.
@@thejudge615gaming8 I owned one since 10 years, the maintenance costs are very high. save your money and watch the maintenance videos for this car and you will see why.
I completely love the way the Jeep Compass looks, inside and out. However, when I test drove it, the engine was trash and the seats were uncomfortable. So disappointing.
I own a limited model. The seats are very uncomfortable on trips longer than 30 minutes, it's sluggish and it kinda wobbles on the highway. But it's still a decent car, I leased it and I'm glad I didn't really purchase it.
If I had to get one of these I’d opt for the six speed stick because I still don’t trust Fiat Chrysler’s automatic transmissions. They always seem to be “reprogramming” them.
I bought a used 2014 jeep compass for $12,900, it looks great, but not much power, but enough for me, it does have plenty of room and plenty of gadgets and is 4wd, but it uses a lot of gas, about every 5 days, have to stop for a fill up, so far I have changed the coils and spark plugs and fluids and filters and fixed a flat tire, but overall a good vehicle so far.
You won’t get any boost because this engine isn’t turbocharged. The 2.4L Tigershark engine is naturally aspirated.. The 2.0L turbocharged engine is an option in the Jeep Cherokee and not the Jeep Compass..That’s why this Jeep is so slow.
Just looked at that today! Was going to honestly buy it but the Consumer Reports were just so poor. Couldn’t take that risk knowing FCA history. We just had to replace an exhaust manifold on our 5.7 Durango with many other issues at 30,000mi just can’t risk any more FCA issues.
That’s typical issue with the Hemi. I replaced mine 3 times since I bought my 2015 Ram 1500, but it’s the only issue I’ve had with the truck. I have 189,000 miles now. I don’t know why they can’t seem to fix that problem. It’s been a common problem for over a decade with the 5.7 Hemi.. I had the same problem with my 2017 Dodge Charger R/T.. The exhaust manifold bolts keep breaking!
Consumer reports is a political rag that has nothing to do with the consumer. The warranty would have covered any issues with your Durango if you actually had one.
I have a 2018 limited it’s nothing but a headache had to get a new transmission at 18k two new modules . A new axle cause it came defected they said .. one year left on my lease than off to get the RAV4 XSE and the Jeep is way underpowered
I have a 2019 limited on a lease at about 10k miles. There was a rattle in the suspension and the auto start stop issue keeps on turning on the warning light. Got a year left and hope nothing goes wrong.
It's definitely not the cars fault it's just that the 9 speed auto doesn't work well with that motor. I've driven the Cherokee with the turbo 4 and it still doesn't drive right. If you purchase a FCA product with the 9 speed and I recommend you get the V6.
I'm a proud owner of a 2018 Latitude just hit 30k so far no issues of any sort. Only thing is the motor wish it had more power 😂. My 2000 RAV4 accelerated way faster lol
Same, 2018 Compass lease here 3/4 of the way done with it and nothing unexpected so far has happened (that I haven’t done to the car by accident lol). It absolutely needs more power! But they have the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee for that.
Just had one of these as a rental! Didn’t realize this little thing weighed so much! Small tank and not so good gas mileage was terrible driving down to Florida! Nice city vehicle though.

I’m 17 and I like the new generation of jeep compass’s. I’m looking for an suv because I like to be higher on the road. Most of the suv’s I’ve seen are very big. I don’t want to drive a large size car but I still have want to be higher on the road. Do you think a (2018, 2019) base model jeep compass would be good for a teen driver?
It seems a bit over priced but it’s not bad looking. The RAV4 is also overpriced. The color combination on this vehicle is very nice. The ability to take it off awd is a huge plus. Keep up the great work Joe!!
Looks is fine. Just the small little brother of Cherokee. But that engine is appalling 2.4L turbo that only pushes a meager 180HP.....and its a turbo....how did Jeep manage to get so low output from a turbo???
@@bobthebuilderfixingyourgir7092 All other equivalent manufacturers with turbo push at least 180 hp with 1.5L and hondas do 190HP......Its such a bad design on the engine 2.4L turbo is expected to have at least 240 or more HP. Subaru 2.4L pushes 260HP. Its appalling at how bad the design. You wont even have the power to get up to speed on highways and to pass cars.....
I have a 2018 Jeep Compass Latitude and I've had quite a few problems with it, especially in regards to the auto stop/start system. It's a very slow and clunky system and they have had to completely replace the system twice, both batteries, and the sensors in it because of issues that I have had .... which started 5 days after I bought the car. The 4WD is helpful in my snowy northern climate, though I would guess it is relatively unnecessary in most of the country. Honestly, the car feels slow. The interior is nice, and you will be babied with all the tech and options that cost much more in other car brands. That being said, I do not recommend to most people to get this vehicle. In the three years I've had it, it's been in the shop for days at least twice for problems that were covered under warranty. The paint is also not great, it has already started to rust by my back hatch.
Hi have you had a problem with your jeep not starting up? I currently have a 2017 jeep compass limited only had it for a couple months it won’t start. smh
I have a 2017.5, one of the very first of this 2nd gen to roll off the lines. Great video but a couple things you got wrong, you are off on the weight by more than 1000 lbs, there is NO TURBO on the 2.4, there is NO LOCKING DIFF (center or otherwise), you called it a "really good 4x4 system" but have never actually driven one off road... as an owner for going on three years and 50k miles across the country of everything from Minnesota up north winters to mountain highway travel I can tell you for certain it is merely a "really average all-wheel drive system". Its a totally OK system but no better than a CRV or any other average AWD crossover. There is no low range and no locking diffs, I've gotten it stuck in mild situations several times and the 4x4 modes are neat but they are not magic. The engine is stout but the 9 speed gives it a terrible rap for being low power. The engine itself is not low power, the transmission just makes terrible use of it sometimes, shifting manually yields much better results when towing or doing roof cargo with increased wind resistance. Your review didn't have the model with the towing package but I highly recommend that. It fixes your issue with the bottom of the rear bumper (how it looks) and its a surprisingly capable little puller if shifted manually. Your 2020 tester has some things we wish we had on our 2017.5, such as the cooled seats and the memory seat positions. Our driver's seat is power but not the passenger seat. I agree with another commenter who said the rear seats are uncomfortable, its true the angle is bad and non-adjustable. They are OK for taking people on short trips only or for children. Rear cargo space is decent but its worth noting you can NOT fit a set of golf clubs back there comfortably without folding down one section of seats. Other than those things its been a great little car for us done all kinds of moderate towing and adventuring. Fuel economy is decent but not amazing. Ours only rang in at 32k and its a "Limited" trim, 38k sounds way high even for your tester edition many of them go way cheaper than that and still nicely equipped. Even still, thanks for doing the video 99% awesome other than a couple spec errors and I don't think you should try to speak to anything's "4x4 capabilities" if you haven't actually driven it off road (personal opinion). I still subscribed and thumbed up.
I loved everything about it except for the rock hard seats. That was a deal breaker. I drive a lot and could not see myself sitting in them for more than few hours. The seats in the Cherokee, however, are perfect. I could sit in them for days. They remind me of the 2019 Escalade seats I sat in at an auto show. Fit like a glove. Firm but very cushy in the right places.
I agree, I have a 2018 Compass and after sitting in the car all day my back hurts. It needs more power too. Decent little SUV otherwise and great in the snow.
Um it’s now 2023 and my 2020 compass makes me want to go POSTAL!!! I got a lemon of a car! I never had any Fucking issues with my Cherokee trailhawk, and because we moved we chose a compass and we will NEVER! EVER DO THAT AGAIN. It’s not worth the stress and heart palpitations. The electrical issues drive me mad!!! Windows randomly opening, infotainment system not working and a slew of other issues.
I just bought a 2020 Jeep Compass Sport which came with a lot of options. I like the wheel covers on the Sport with the Sport Appearance Package and I like the smaller wheels,16 inch V 19 inch. I think the more expensive models with the big wheels and gaudy wheel covers are aweful. My Compass has a more simpler look which I like. I hate all the crap they put on the expensive models and whats worse you have to pay extra for the ugly look. I love my Compass and the best part its a plain Jane and looks great!
A lot of people shit on this car but our 2018 has 30k and no issues and a friend of ours has 70k and no issues. Plus oil changes every 10k miles love it.
I have a 2020 Compass Trailhawk that has a 2.4L - Jeep does not have a turbo for the 2.4L - clearly there is no turbo charger visible on the car you were reviewing when you opened the hood. The acceleration on my 2020 Compass Trailhawk seems faster than my 2017 Jeep Renegade Deserthawk. Your review of the High Altitude was a fair appraisal of the performance and features of the car.
10:20 have anyone seen the ficking geiko - lizard under the wiper???, ha! it scared the shet out of me when I went to test one, then I realized it is part of the plastic cover hahaha
It's nice on the outside, but it really is feeling it's age on that central console and dash, specially that ancient looking screen (not the contents of the screen, but the way the screens is integrates ino the dash), I think it's time for a new design on the 2021 model
I had a 2014, then a 2017, now I’m in a 2020 Limited and I’m loving it! Never had an issue with any of my Compasses (knock wood) - the 2020 is a lot peppier than the others were, and even a basically fully loaded Limited, I didn’t have a sticker price of $38K - maybe it’s higher wherever they are, but not as much here in NY.

It seems a bit over priced but it’s not bad looking. The RAV4 is also overpriced. The color combination on this vehicle is very nice. The ability to take it off awd is a huge plus. Keep up the great work Joe!!
Thanks for always sharing your great thoughts on this one!
Looks is fine. Just the small little brother of Cherokee. But that engine is appalling 2.4L turbo that only pushes a meager 180HP.....and its a turbo....how did Jeep manage to get so low output from a turbo???
@@441meatloaf who wants turbo on something made to cruise? I just got one, its so nice
@@bobthebuilderfixingyourgir7092 All other equivalent manufacturers with turbo push at least 180 hp with 1.5L and hondas do 190HP......Its such a bad design on the engine 2.4L turbo is expected to have at least 240 or more HP. Subaru 2.4L pushes 260HP. Its appalling at how bad the design. You wont even have the power to get up to speed on highways and to pass cars.....
38k is an insane msrp. I’m sure you can get this for like 28k and I’m not sure it’s worth that.
The msrp is like 24 lol
@@garbygarb31 I mean he said it was “right around 38k”. are you calling Joe a liar??? Jk. But yeah I’m sure a base model msrp is closer to 24k.
I just rented this car for 3 days for 190 it’s nice but I wouldn’t buy it it’s not that much room in the back for kids but it’s a nice care overall
I agree with you! Thanks for sharing that experience!
Quality is always the issue, year after year. When will they ever get their act together?
No need to get their act together....people keep buying them. Until they stop...nothing will change.
Never had any problems with my Jeep.
I like this small SUV Raiti! thanks for the upload I've been looking into this car.
Careful I have heard a lot of bad things happen but if everything is good for you then it should last
I have a 2018 Jeep Compass Latitude and I've had quite a few problems with it, especially in regards to the auto stop/start system. It's a very slow and clunky system and they have had to completely replace the system twice, both batteries, and the sensors in it because of issues that I have had .... which started 5 days after I bought the car. The 4WD is helpful in my snowy northern climate, though I would guess it is relatively unnecessary in most of the country. Honestly, the car feels slow. The interior is nice, and you will be babied with all the tech and options that cost much more in other car brands. That being said, I do not recommend to most people to get this vehicle. In the three years I've had it, it's been in the shop for days at least twice for problems that were covered under warranty. The paint is also not great, it has already started to rust by my back hatch.
Hi have you had a problem with your jeep not starting up? I currently have a 2017 jeep compass limited only had it for a couple months it won’t start. smh
I have one now as a rental and I hate it. It's slow, loud, and cramped compared to my Escape. I can't wait to get my car back.
Was very lenient with the criticism of this SUV
$38,000? Hmm, I'd rather get a bigger Highlander L and still save a couple grand.
What?!?! This piece of junk that had the acceleration of a bicycle cost 38,000??? plz tell me u are joking? thats the real price??
And reliability and resale of the Toyota. I'd get a 1yo JGC for same 38k.
Get a Cherokee Trailhawk
Jeep needs a 7 passerger SUV...
It's coming
It is coming so sooon!
You are correct!
They should bring back the Commander! I loved mine!
we need a compas trackhawk
Now we are talking!
Yes please!
Hey Joe, I spot a PT cruiser you passed by. Lol.
I have a 2017.5, one of the very first of this 2nd gen to roll off the lines. Great video but a couple things you got wrong, you are off on the weight by more than 1000 lbs, there is NO TURBO on the 2.4, there is NO LOCKING DIFF (center or otherwise), you called it a "really good 4x4 system" but have never actually driven one off road... as an owner for going on three years and 50k miles across the country of everything from Minnesota up north winters to mountain highway travel I can tell you for certain it is merely a "really average all-wheel drive system". Its a totally OK system but no better than a CRV or any other average AWD crossover. There is no low range and no locking diffs, I've gotten it stuck in mild situations several times and the 4x4 modes are neat but they are not magic. The engine is stout but the 9 speed gives it a terrible rap for being low power. The engine itself is not low power, the transmission just makes terrible use of it sometimes, shifting manually yields much better results when towing or doing roof cargo with increased wind resistance. Your review didn't have the model with the towing package but I highly recommend that. It fixes your issue with the bottom of the rear bumper (how it looks) and its a surprisingly capable little puller if shifted manually. Your 2020 tester has some things we wish we had on our 2017.5, such as the cooled seats and the memory seat positions. Our driver's seat is power but not the passenger seat. I agree with another commenter who said the rear seats are uncomfortable, its true the angle is bad and non-adjustable. They are OK for taking people on short trips only or for children. Rear cargo space is decent but its worth noting you can NOT fit a set of golf clubs back there comfortably without folding down one section of seats. Other than those things its been a great little car for us done all kinds of moderate towing and adventuring. Fuel economy is decent but not amazing. Ours only rang in at 32k and its a "Limited" trim, 38k sounds way high even for your tester edition many of them go way cheaper than that and still nicely equipped. Even still, thanks for doing the video 99% awesome other than a couple spec errors and I don't think you should try to speak to anything's "4x4 capabilities" if you haven't actually driven it off road (personal opinion). I still subscribed and thumbed up.
Thanks for that info Andrew.
It is not turbocharged. They should have offered a small turbo for the top trim... but... it's still Chrysler.
*fiat
I am getting this car tomorrow
Congrats! You will love it!
I loved everything about it except for the rock hard seats. That was a deal breaker. I drive a lot and could not see myself sitting in them for more than few hours. The seats in the Cherokee, however, are perfect. I could sit in them for days. They remind me of the 2019 Escalade seats I sat in at an auto show. Fit like a glove. Firm but very cushy in the right places.
I agree, I have a 2018 Compass and after sitting in the car all day my back hurts. It needs more power too. Decent little SUV otherwise and great in the snow.
Um it’s now 2023 and my 2020 compass makes me want to go POSTAL!!!
I got a lemon of a car! I never had any Fucking issues with my Cherokee trailhawk, and because we moved we chose a compass and we will NEVER! EVER DO THAT AGAIN. It’s not worth the stress and heart palpitations. The electrical issues drive me mad!!! Windows randomly opening, infotainment system not working and a slew of other issues.
Had a 2017 compass limited interior was comfortable and good looks but it needed some more power
I just bought a 2020 Jeep Compass Sport which came with a lot of options. I like the wheel covers on the Sport with the Sport Appearance Package and I like the smaller wheels,16 inch V 19 inch. I think the more expensive models with the big wheels and gaudy wheel covers are aweful. My Compass has a more simpler look which I like. I hate all the crap they put on the expensive models and whats worse you have to pay extra for the ugly look. I love my Compass and the best part its a plain Jane and looks great!
A lot of people shit on this car but our 2018 has 30k and no issues and a friend of ours has 70k and no issues. Plus oil changes every 10k miles love it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one Ross! I appreciate you letting us know about your experience!
Why is he pretending like anyone is actually taking these off-road?
LMAO! I a sure there is one person out there!
good job. very good review Mr. Raiti
An undisclosed location it is, with a Michigan plate.
I promise I’m not I. Michigan 😉
@@RaitisRides LOL
Yeah Michigan doesn’t have palm trees lol
Hello Joe. Another video of Mopar. ;D
Just fir you man!
@@RaitisRides Thanks Joe. :D
You lost me at $38,000
I have a 2020 Compass Trailhawk that has a 2.4L - Jeep does not have a turbo for the 2.4L - clearly there is no turbo charger visible on the car you were reviewing when you opened the hood. The acceleration on my 2020 Compass Trailhawk seems faster than my 2017 Jeep Renegade Deserthawk. Your review of the High Altitude was a fair appraisal of the performance and features of the car.
Thanks for sharing that great input from your perspective!
Might need to take that renegade in to get the computers updated haha
10:20 have anyone seen the ficking geiko - lizard under the wiper???, ha! it scared the shet out of me when I went to test one, then I realized it is part of the plastic cover hahaha
Nice video👍 Renegade another winner from FCA. Like the looks and yes Jeep is cool with there Easter eggs😎
Do we think a 6’5 person would fit
We have a 2018 Compass Limited and while I like the styling I just think they’re too small. The 4 cylinder engine needs to be replaced with a V-6.
Thanks for sharing that great input from your ownership!
That's why they make the Cherokee.
I love this Compass, Joe! It looks awesome.
Hold out a bit 3rd Gen is just around the corner and it's one bad boy.
38k for a compass. good lord. ridiculous!!!!!
45 grand out the lot!!! Damn!
So do you like this one?
Just get a used Mercedes, it'll be more reliable 🤣
Chevy treverse is wayyy more powerful and it’s 4700 lb and it has 315hp for only 50k (premier AWD)
Turbo charged??? U good bro
Cannot wait to see the new 2021 Toyota Venza.
over priced rave 4
15:42 didn't expect the damaged sedan
That a hole lot better than the older model good job Chrysler just a little too expensive though 40 grand is way too much
I'll be blunt, i'm giving you a zonk for how you pronounce Compass - Thanks for the review, just bought a Tiguan!
The question is, how many jolly ranch bars can you fit in there?
I like the way you think!
The 2.4 isn’t turbocharged. Jeep needs to put the 2.0T in that thing though because as of right now it’s very underwhelming!😂
You are so very right Tanner!
LOL @ Emergency Twinkie holder
Last time I told my wife “if you’re ready, I’m ready” before getting intimate
( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)
Toyota rav4 xle
Ewww the RAV4 is so ugly.
He said 4700 pounds and I’m like damn!!! But no, google 3184-3633. Still too heavy but not as bad as he said lol
4700 Gross
The 2.4L doesn't have a turbo so right off this is misleading, also the 2.4L has oil burns problems..Jeeps 3.2L V6 is a good engine
Thinking he got paid for this one. A turbocharged 2.4 would be like 300 hp.
The car is naturally aspirated
They really need to make adjustements in the interior on the front.
They probably do a 2022 redesign
Does it have that annoying autostop stuff where it constantly shuts off?
Yes, but with a button to shut it off. I do in the city.
How do you feel the boost in a 2.4 when it is not a turbo?. The 1.3 us a turbo.
I have a 2018 I absolutely hate it the electronics in the jeep im curious what the 2020 is anything better
From the research I've done on Jeep Grand Cherokee is the way to go. My only concern with Jeep is their reliability.
Styling is always good. Mechanically, and quality...those are the issues / worries.
WOOOHOOOO no CVT! Wait!....I saw a Steak n Shake...turn around!
How is the maintenance and how does the engine work? Have I been thinking of buying a 2020 compass? before buying it I want to know more about it.
It's nice on the outside, but it really is feeling it's age on that central console and dash, specially that ancient looking screen (not the contents of the screen, but the way the screens is integrates ino the dash), I think it's time for a new design on the 2021 model
Very god input and perspective!
The "we just stuck a tablet on top of the dash rather than take any time at all to integrate it" look is preferable to you?
