2008 Jeep Compass Review

2008 Jeep Compass

Compass offers car-like handling at an affordable price. However, it lacks the know-how of high quality, sports performance and off-road capabilities of its competitors and is located in the lower half of his great class.

2008 Jeep Compass

Since the 2008 Jeep Compass is making his debut in 2007, the first crossover Jeep receives only minor changes for this year. New for 2008 Jeep Compass is a dashboard more upscale and a few more standard features and a powertrain calibration. Most commentators see the compass as a decent daily driver for a very affordable price, but it lags behind its competitors with more refined engine a little power and cheap interior materials. Because Compass is based on the car (built on the same platform as theDodge Caliber hatchback car), it was not off-road capability Jeeps are known for - that disappoints things. Then, the Washington Post called "Jeep for people who don't really want Jeeps." And the positive point is.. in comparison with other Jeep, Jeep Patriot, foundations car-like Compass give a smoother ride. Yet it ranks low compared to other affordable crossovers.

2008 Jeep Compass

A strong argument for considering the Compass is its energy efficiency. With the Patriot, Compass is one of the most effective of Jeep vehicles, and is near the top of its category with a score 23/28 mpg.

The 2008 Jeep Compass is available in two versions - the basic sport and limited - in both front-wheel or four-wheel drive.

A nice package for the right price.

The name says Jeep, but the vibe says cheap. Forget the Halls of Montezuma - The compass is on the malls of Petaluma, to boldly go where sweaty neck road teams have already walking.

Buyers looking for a sport / utility with good road manners and exceptional fuel economy will find most everything they need the compass, but Jeep loyalists are not likely to be happy on the brand equity given for this new model.

Compass is a wonderful affordable package that is much nicer to drive and much laundry and you expect. And it happens to be a Jeep.

Advantages and disadvantages :

• Right front leg and height
• Low price compared to its competitors
• Good fuel economy
• intrusion of road noise into the cabin
• Crafts and Sub-par materials
• Capacity and off-road style Jeep are absent
• Low load capacity in its class

Scorecard :

• Overall: 6.5
• Rating Review: 6.4
• Performance: 6.9
• Interior: 6.0
• Safety: 8.8

Jeep Compass CROSSOVER

There are 3 trims  of Jeep Compass CROSSOVER

• Crossover 2.0 Sport 2WD
• Crossover 2.4 4WD Limited
• Crossover 2.2 CRD Limited 4WD

Unlike the other Jeeps, Jeep Compass is available with both front and 4-wheel drive.

Even 4-wheel drives end all power to the front wheels in normal driving to help fuel   exertion ; It is only when detect a wheel slip, that power will automatically backwards.

No matter how, you can lock in all-wheel-drive mode by pulling a lever, its between the front seats. It divides power between the rear and front  to optimize traction.

Any compass comes with a three-year/60,000 km warranty that covers unlimited mileage for the first two years.

Jeep Compass CROSSOVER

Performance :

Fans of fuel may have a car Fwd 2.0 liter with a  or a 4-wheels drive 2.4 with a transmit variable Transmission. However, the 2.1-litre four-wheel drive diesel (which is badged as a 2.2) makes more sense. It feels flat below 1400 rpm, but strong enough later.

Ride handling :

The diesel four wheel drive is rated to tow a huge 2000kg braked trailer, while 20-degree approach and departure should help in the rough. Unfortunately, the compass fails to show best points on the road. hard in turns and is equipped to be incompatible. The ride is rather knobbly, too.

Refinement :

This is another area where the compass remains well below the best SUV. Its diesel engine seems still surly, but it becomes especially hoarse when work you hard. You feel also vibrations through the clutch pedal, while the road noise intrudes on coarse surfaces and participates the wind noise at highway speeds.

Buying & owning :

The price of the compass is  to undercut rivals such as the Nissan Qashqai and Volkswagen Tiguan. However, he falls a little of their fuel consumption and CO2 issues. It's to be expensive to service, and resale values are low.

Quality  reliability :

The areas where you could rest your elbows are padded. Too bad, the rest of the cabin is made of plastic hard, unpleasant, and the switchgear doesn't feel not particularly chic. Jeep also has a poor record in our reliability surveys.

Safety Security :

Any compass has six airbags, stability control and a system that can brake individual wheels to stop the car roll over. In addition, active Front headrests are fitted to minimize whiplash injuries in a rear-end shunt. Unfortunately, however, the car marked a disappointing two stars in Euro NCAP crash tests. An engine immobilizer and alarm make life difficult for thieves.

Jeep Compass CROSSOVER

For :

The Jeep Compass is cheaper to buy that rivals major, and each version is well equipped. Four-wheel drive versions should be enough off-road.

Against :

However the road and bad handling, and it has noisy diesel engine. There are too many good plastic market-feeling and the wheel does not adjust the scope.

Jeep Compass CROSSOVER review :

• Performance: 4-wheel drive diesel is strong enough
• Ride & direction : Ride knobbly and  inconsistent treatment
• Refinement: Wind, it has noise intrude road and engine 
• Purchase & own: Well priced, but the other rivals is cheaper to run
• Quality & reliability: Too many hard plastics interior 
• Safety & Security: Only 2 stars in Euro NCAP crash tests
• Driving : Compromised driving Position
• Space & practicality: bad for five ; good for four 
• Equipment : Even the entry model is decently be equipped

2012 Jeep Compass Review

Jeep Compass

More Details:
Jeep Compass redesigned for the 2011 model year, and for 2012, there are some changes. Compass is available in 3 trims: Latitude, Sport and Limited.

Jeep Compass

2012 Jeep Compass off-road capable post, but test drivers say other SUVs, like the Jeep Wrangler, it's better one.

Although the Jeep Compass is not the best off-road SUV for rock climbing or trudging through the river, test drivers say it does have good off-road power. Reviewers say that the 2012 Compass will appeal to buyers with a low price and good fuel consumption. Also, because it is a crossover, which means having a car like handling, more practical compass for a weekly jam into office than other off-road vehicles. However, if you require one of the most capable off-road SUVs on the market, the Jeep Compass is not. Jeep Wrangler is a better choice.

If the 2012 Jeep Compass' affordability feed you, you will have to make compromises. Inside, the Compass does not have the standard amenities, such as a USB port, that buyers are looking for.It also does not have 1 ton of cargo space available, so if The 2012 Compass will double as a family hauler, you'll get better utility with the Honda CR-V. However, if you really need an reasonably priced off-road SUV, Compass offers an appropriate balance between work stoppages and off-road adventures.

Jeep Compass

Pros & Cons :

• interior look and feel, dare we say it, nice.
• However, Compass does not have the overall improvement of the a Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V. Compass makes sense as a functional wagon for people who crave Jeep Grand Cherokee styling in low-cost, more-compact package. For most people, there are much better alternatives.
• Compass, they  will be remembered for keep  trying to stretch all of their Jeep brand a bit too far.

Other SUVs to Consider :

Jeep Compass is one of the most expensive SUV off-road, but upgrade to the more expensive Jeep Wrangler will be worth the extra cost if you require one off-road SUVs on the market. This year, the Wrangler has new engine that not only delivers more finesses off-road, but also make an adequate daily driver.

No compact SUV in this class is very strong, but for a more subtle performance, you will have to sacrifice off-road prowess.Volkswagen Tiguan, for example, is the most fun-to-drive vehicles in the class, but it is a sophisticated compact SUV, not a rock-climber.GMC Terrain, however, offer a better balance of the rugged looks and performance capable. Has a truck-like exterior and optional all-wheel drive.

2011 Jeep Compass review

Jeep Compass

“Chrysler” has been working its way through the lineup, giving nearly all 2011 Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep vehicle interior and mechanical re-revised, if not outright redesigning the entire model. Now turn the tiny compass, and maintenance over the former than the latter. Compass shares most of the dirty bits with other Jeep, such as  the Jeep Patriot.  The Jeep Patriot has also been revised for this lauching. (You may recall that when the Patriot and Compass being examined by focus groups prior to production, he favored the Patriot, while women prefer to Compass. Jeep intended to build only one of the two vehicles, but not really, you know, make a decision, companies producing them. And here we are.)

The 2011 Jeep Compass will get a new face, new nicer cabin materials, new suspension, and new AWD system is optional off-road oriented. The most obvious is the upgrade in the front, where the Compass receives a different new hood, grille, fenders, fascia and headlights. The result looks like the other vehicle, a Grand Cherokee, its shrunk in the wash and obtain upswept smile, it's more interesting than the awkward appearance than the outgoing model. Family resemblance, of course deliberate, and Jeep jokingly referred to it as "Grand" Compass.

Jeep Compass

The rear restyled with a new roof spoiler, LED rear lights and a new bumper, and the Compass Limited gets chrome exhaust tip and bumper step plate. New chrome roof rails are available, and the lower side of the body has a protective cladding to help deal with off-road or-more likely-shopping-cart dings. 17-inch standard aluminum wheels, with chrome or aluminum 18-inchers are available on Limited.

2011 model interior gains new three-spoke steering wheel with integrated audio and cruise controls, a redesigned center stack, high-quality upholstery, very soft-touch materials on all door panels, and new backlit door switches. all trims Compass has a standard armrest and cruise control.

Jeep Compass

As for the mechanical, 2011 Jeep Compass benefits from the same suspension upgrades as seen in 2011 Patriot (and 2011 Dodge Caliber, another platform-mate), this is high level springs and shock absorbers, as well as thicker rear anti-roll bar. There is also a new All-Weather Capability package, which complements SUV with Goodyear all-terrain tires, engine-block heater, tow hooks, daytime running lights, all weather mats and rugs so that you will not get all tangled when you drive Compass in the typhoon, which is good .

The 2011 Jeep Compass has no powertrain changes: With a 158-hp, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder is standard on base and  Latitude models, a 172-horsepowers, an optional2.4-liter unit on the 2 trims and standard on the Limited class. A 5-speed manual is standard on the entry-level, with an optional continuously variable transmission, CVT standard for the Latitude and Limited models.

Front-wheel drive is the default setting, while the two system of all-wheel-drive can be equipped differently. Freedom Drive I brought over from last year, but an active AWD system that can be locked to a mode all-wheel-drive. New for 2011 is the Freedom Drive II package, more powerful setup that was previously only available on the Patriot. This bundle low-range gearing, skid plates, tow hooks, fog lamps, and a 1-inch suspension lift, designed for those who want to try more serious off-roading with their Jeep Compass-a demographic we did not know existed.

Compass revision will be in dealerships later this month. While the new Grand Cherokee is a very capable both off-road and very competent on the sidewalk, Compass which until now has been pretty horrible to drive, so regardless of the new suspension, there are similarities between the GC and the SUV was probably just skin deep. However, Chrysler has done a competency instilled a very good job in many of his previous disappointment Sebring product-witness-turned-200-and we look forward to finding out if it's happening with Compass
