  • Perfect vehicle for us - 2011 Jeep Compass
    By -

    We bought this vehicle brand new in 2011 and have since put 88k miles on it. The first thing I can attest to is the reliability....absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it....weve simply changed the oil and spark plugs at regular intervals. As for safety, it has been rear-ended twice and my wife hit someone at an intersection and all three times the Compass was barely damaged and the other cars incurred significant damage. We have two kids who fit comfortably in the back and there is ample storage room. 2011 was also the first year the new grill design came out that you see on modern Jeeps so between that and the alloy wheels, the vehicle looks really nice and stylish. The only negative I have to say is that the interior is not top notch as there is a lot of plastic, but we did get light tan leather added for $1k which looks and feels much better than the stock cloth. I could not have bought a better vehicle for the price...$21k all in for a compact SUV that we have owned for over 6 years and will drive for another 6.

  • how important are your anniversaries? - 2011 Jeep Compass

    We had the 2011 Compass, Jeep 70th Anniversary Special, which came with leather seats, a sunroof and upgraded floor mats and trim. IT performed very well and was economical. The electronics were helpful but no confusing. I would recommend this as a great starter SUV or normal duty car. Comparing it to our 2011 Grand Cherokee Overland, this is the little brother or sister; great performance with similar electronics and much better fuel economy in a lighter, smaller car thats much easier to park and better all around for young drivers.

  • Back in the Jeep family and LOVE it!!! - 2011 Jeep Compass
    By -

    I had a Jeep Liberty for 9 years and loved it except the gas mileage. We let my daughter take it to college and we brought a foreign brand SUV. I had a terrible time parking and backing up. We were going to purchase a car when we saw the 2011 Jeep Compass and liked the looks. We took it for a test drive and loved it.....it felt like back home with the Jeep Family. It is a program vehicle with 14,000 miles. We get 24.7 MPG which is better than my 19.3 on the foreign brand SUV. Im happy and when Mamma is happy.....Everyone is HAPPY!

    This was my first new vehicle purchase. I traded in my 06 Mazda hatch for the jeep. I had loved the Mazda and its sporty-ness, but we were looking to get a family vehicle. The jeep is very sporty yet still the SUV feel. My gas mileage is decent( itd be better if I drove it more like an SUV and not my Mazda). Great Jeep! (especially for the money)

  • So far so good - 2011 Jeep Compass
    By -

    Ive owned my 2011 Jeep Compass for just a week now and have been quite satisfied with my purchase. The only issues Ive had with the vehicle thus far have been user induced. However its only been a week, and Ill definitely be willing to post again if/when I do run into any problems.

  • Just Purchased 2011 Compass and Lovin it!! - 2011 Jeep Compass
    By -

    The 2011 Compass is a great car for the price! I also purchased the excellent extended warrantly that covers everything for as long as I own the car. There is also a decent manufacturer warranty when you purchase brand new. My Compass is loaded with all sorts of cool features to include: Cruise, heated seats, mp3 port, Sirius Satellite Radio, Bose sound system, lighted cup holders, plug-in coverter, TPM system, sunroof, and fold down seats.

  • Outstanding in Snow - 2011 Jeep Compass
    By -

    Ive had this vehicle since spring, so I never got a chance to drive it in snow or on slippery roads. We finally had a serious snow storm and I have to say this Compass is outstanding! No slipping, sliding, great traction. Simply amazing all the way around. Its also been 100% totally reliable since day one. Im very pleased.

  • She loves her Jeep - 2011 Jeep Compass
    By -

    After much looking we found the car my wife loves. She likes the styling, exterior looks and and the interior and the way it feels to drive. She did not like her previous car because she felt it just seemed cheaply made even though it only had less than 7000 miles on it. Saw the Jeep accident and right away she loved the styling and the feel and quality of interior.

  • Great Car!! - 2011 Jeep Compass
    By -

    I just bought this car 3/2011. I love it. The re-design made all the difference to me. It looks great inside and out! It rides great and the features that come with it for the money (26,000) cant be beat plus the 4x4 by Jeep is all the better. Great all around! Beats out all the other small SUVs in my book.
