Its relatively low base may attract value-conscious buyers,
but test drivers say that the 2013 Jeep Compass does not have the power,
refinement and space compact SUV senior.
The 2013 Jeep Compass is powered by a four-cylinder engine,
and test drivers are disappointed with its meager power. A better powerful
engine is optional, but commentators agree that it offers only marginal
improvement, resulting in an acceleration that is adequate at best. 5-speed
standard manual transmission and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) is
optional. Comment of the test pilot who CVT is noisy and does not make good use
of the engine power. EPA reports that the 2013 Compass receives up to 23/30 mpg
city / highway, which is comparable to the SUV as theChevrolet Equinox and
Honda CR-V. Most auto writers say that properly manages the Compass, however,
some critics note that the compass can get hit, and its turning radius makes it
less maneuverable than its size suggests. In addition, the score of safety
Compass is lower than the most affordable compact SUV competitors.
The test note that the Compass's interior using materials
appropriate price drivers, including the beautiful plastics and soft-touch
surfaces. While the place is good in the front seats, one critic said it is
difficult to find a comfortable driving position in the Compass. In addition, a
number of commentators pointed out that the back seat of the compass is
cramped, and the Compass has less cargo space than SUV such as the GMC Terrain.
The Jeep Compass is cheaper than a number of affordable compact SUV, but it also
comes with fewer features than standard models like the Golf, CR-V and Mazda
CX-5. A four-speaker stereo with auxiliary input jack is standard, while
available features include automatic climate control, USB connectivity and
Bluetooth, navigation help and a speakers folding tailgate with Boston
Acoustics stereo.

- Competition with established names like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and the Subaru Forester, the Compass has a lot on the board, especially considering most of its rivals surpass latest in the fields of technology engine, fuel consumption and characteristics.
- Compass sense as a functional car for people looking Jeep Grand Cherokee style in a smaller cheaper package. For most others, there are better alternatives.
- If it is true off-road capability that you're after, the Jeep Wrangler and Nissan Xterra worth visiting. For around-town use, the GMC Terrain, Kia Sportage, Honda CR-V and Subaru Forester (to name a few) offers fully four-wheel drive for enhanced by bad weather traction with better management, performance and refinement in everyday driving.
- No matter how many Jeep work put into this crossover for 2011 nameplate Compass carries a serious baggage. The Compass will always remember to try to stretch the Jeep brand a little too far and it's not for long.
