Jeep compass- do they suck?

[RavensEyeOffroad]

My wife bought a Toyota camry (2019) and honestly it's kinda crap. She's looking at something awd/4wd but needs good mpg and be reliable.
The compass has many comforts we would use regularly (360 camera, parking stuff, adaptive cruise) and the mileage seems pretty fair.
I don't know about their track record though.
I showed her a rav4 hybrid just for comparison sake. Currently she drives a fair mix of city/highway but may take a job with a significant amount of highway driving. I think the adaptive cruise with stop/go or whatever would make that more enjoyable.
Anyhow just wondering if they are worth looking at or not.

No, I've never been a fan of Jeep's crossovers. Toyota/Honda/Kia/Hyundai are much better options in that segment.

Yeah, they suck. Definitely give the RAV4 a look though. My wife has a 2019 XLE Premium and it's surprisingly nice. Can't complain about 32 mpg either.

I noticed the rav4 didn't seem to have nearly the options, maybe I looked at the wrong/lesser model.
Keep trying to get her to not tunnel vision on a vehicle. Check out everything. Hard to do though lol

I had one for 2 months as a loaner.

I called it the dumpass

My sister has a compass and the visibility is terrible. I would suggest a regular Cherokee with a V6. They are so much more comfortable. Visibility much better and gas mileage is great considering it is a V6.

Would the v6 use the same oil filters as my gladiator?

Compass are def junk. Wipe it off your list. Rav4 and CRV would be the best reliability IMO. I recently did some similar shopping in that lineup.

According to Wix Filter look up site yes the v6 in both the 3.2 Cherokee and the 3.6 Gladiator take the same filter. WL10010

She wants a white 4 door wrangler.
But she also thinks things should cost 15k lol

Had one as a loaner; cheaply made and rides terribly.

My wife thought she wanted a Compass, we even test drove one and she liked it. I convinced her to test drive a Cherokee and after going about 100 feet in the parking lot she realized how much better the Cherokee rides. The 3.2 in the Cherokee is the same engine as the 3.6, it just has smaller diameter cylinders. I think the Compass is based on the Fiat 500 like the Renegade.

So are the Cherokee's decent then?

Yes, we've had ours for 3.5 years and it's been great.

I pull RAV4’s out of ditches. They’re not suvs. They’re taller station wagons. Standard Cherokee Trailhawk is where I’d start.
