2006 Jeep Compass Sport 4x4 review from North America
"Great value, lots of features for a great price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear hatch didn't close right when it hit -30 degrees Celsius.
The rear brakes were horribly noisy when in reverse.
General comments?
Overall the Jeep is a fantastic buy, a great value, lots of features. I'd have to spend close to $8K to get a similarly equipped Ford Edge (which I'd prefer). Other similar SUVs are also $3-5K more than an equipped Compass.
My Compass has 4x4/AWD which works great in 4WD mode in the snow. I added Nokian WR all-weather tires and they work great also.
So far I'm quite happy with the Jeep, I've had it 5 months. Time will tell if it is reliable. There is a 5 year powertrain, 3 year bumper-to-bumper warranty. This is my first DCX vehicle since 12 years ago.
