The ergonomics, practicality, and intuitiveness of Jeeps (or FCA products in general) seems to be one of the main reasons why many people love those vehicles. They're just easy to live with...no learning curve needed....the team def spent lots of time in that area (thank god). Love me some physical redundant buttons and fast tech that's easy to use. I really wish other manufacturers could learn a thing or two in that dept from this/these brands. We are supposed to be one with the machine not the other way around

$43k? Wow, Jeep. That is *confidence*.

Fantastic review! I bought a 2020 Compass Sport brand new 2.5 years ago, and I love it! I also had a fix-a-flat kit, but shortly replaced it with a full spare tire with a matching wheel and tire brand; the cutout in the back is sufficient it. Glad that Jeep upgraded the motor in the new model.

The size, the ground clearance, and the AWD: one of the best for SF under severe weather/climate.

I have the Red edition also and it is a fantastic car. The new engine is great.

Good review, looks like a nice ride for 2023. Picked up a '23 CX-5 PP for my wife in February and it's been flawless. One reason we got it is it's made in Japan. The Compass is made in Mexico and Jeeps haven't been known for their reliability, so there's that. Saw one dealership advertise 15% off so there are deals to be had now. Looks like the Compass is a little narrower than the CX-5.

43k is just if you want the Red edition which is pretty much a fully loaded one. As Kirk said, all you really need is the Sunroof and Alpine Speakers..of which you can add to the Latitude trim and be out the door for 34-35k not to mention all the incentives/rebates that Jeep has for their vehicles. Main thing if you're purchasing this vehicle is the standard Jeep 4x4, fun styling, intuitive layout, and new engine/trans combo because this pairing is much more reliable than the old setup

I have the 23 Trailhawk model and love it. I traded in my 10 yo Mini Cooper and with summer sale incentives, walked out the door owing 28k. Nice!

This would be a nice rental car to get compared to a frumpy and random Nissan. P.S. you should become a sunglasses guy (polarized for max protection) in Florida or you’ll hurt your eyes and age worse. If what you don’t like about sunglasses is darkness look at an amber colored lens. They can make a cloudy day feel more vibrant.

It is in a weird niche. Smaller than a compact but more expensive. Nice but when a loaded Sportage Hybrid is thousands less it is hare to picture picking this being my choice.

The Trailhawk trim would be the trim I'd go with because you get a full-sized spare tire.

I bought my 2022 Jeep Limited red addition about 5 months ago. I absolutely love it. ❤️ this was the first time I ever bought a brand new vehicle it only had 14miles on it when I purchased it. I paid full price. I will never forget I paid $44,633.96 I didn't want any payments. And i would do it all over again. And it's great for very tall men or women. My son is 6,7 and and is very comfortable no complaints. I love being part of the Jeep community. And enjoy finding my Easter eggs. I love the cooling seats for everyone❤ oh and the Jeep app on my phone Love it. I can look at anything and everything. It shows everything that's going on with your car. You can start your car lock your car to your phone. It gives you alerts when it's time to do your oil change Plus a lot more in that app. I just love my Jeep it was me for me. I love red and black my two favorite colors. This will be the last vehicle that I own in my life hopefully. And I would not trade it for the world I love it that much.❤❤❤ Jeep wave 👋

I have 2023 compass.. love it ❤❤

Im in the market for a new vehicle, and im leaning towards a Jeep Compass. The interior looks fantastic and not as cheap as some of the alternatives do.

You can change the sound levels through the screen and crank it up

I bought one about a month ago and I don’t regret it

Great looking Compass

Nice review, my wife just bought one of these, she didn’t get the leather seats however. And I saw that Life after death album art 😊

So, is this years Jeep Compass one that makes a top 3 of your purchase choice for this size and class of vehicle? My choice would be the Sport, Latitude or Trailhawk. I would still have to decide on my option mix to get the best value for the price I am willing to pay.

This is almost like Jeep's version of the Range Rover Evoque in terms of design, technology, features, & price

Excellent

Digging the fanny pack dad reviews. I’m a stay at home dad with a forester wilderness.

You guys are lucky, I thought you were super loud and kids were still sleeping 😂

For 40 grand you can buy a Honda CR-V sport touring ,the Jeep seems over priced for what it is . Great review Kirk and family !

That price is crazy. So many better options for that price. CX-50, Kia Sportage, Tucson etc… main perk of this though is the 4wd. For that price though I’m buying a base Grand Cherokee

Great review although I'm not a Jeep fan and it's WAY TO EXPENSIVE. Glad that you are exploring different brands though keep up the good work

How would a 2022 Cherokee limited compare?

Just noticed that the windscreen wiper stays is a strange position?

I'll never buy a Heep. I've owned 3 Dodges, last two was 18 years ago. Switched to Toyota and Honda, never going back.

Has fca fixed the annoying heated cooled seat timer? In fca products I’ve driven whenever I turn on the heated or cooled seats, it automatically lowers the setting and then shuts off after a few minutes

Only way this makes sense is it you get it for 25% off. I'm already seeing them 17% off, there's tons of them on the lots.

Kirk be nice to see you review the Hornet over this disappointment . I also wonder why the kids are always sleeping in your videos? Hmm

I didn’t know that Jeep placed the 2.0t in the Compass. I thought they would’ve placed a Turbo 3 cylinder once they discontinued the 2.4. I know it’s a detuned version from the Cherokee, Wrangler, and Alfa Romeo models, but I’m kinda shocked it’s a good motor.

WOW, over $40,000.00 for a vehicle that’s so small you have to get out of it to change your mind. I like the styling and the interior is finally being addressed but I don’t know if I would get one at that price.

One can get a Subaru Outback w/ turbo, or almost up to a Tesla LR Model Y, after rebate, for $43,000. Been shopping at this exact price range and it would have been Model Y if not for ground clearance issues in the snow w/ our oddly steep and sharply angled driveway. Y is still an option w/ an aftermarket lift kit, for another $2k or so installed, but the house will also require electrical upgrades.. So looking realistically at $50k for the Model Y, versus $43k for the Outback or Compass. Over time though, the initial savings from going w/ gasoline vehicles will get eaten up by the costs of fuel and maintenance. If inflation gets out of hand, doubly so. The car is for my elderly parents, so the auto braking safety tech in both the Subaru and Tesla are also a factor. The Jeep doesn't even enter the equation, all things considered..

I’m gonna buy a latitude trim for $27,400 from Jim Browne Jeep in Dade City FL. Almost 7k off MSRP

I thought product red was just for electronics? Well cars are basically touchscreens with a steering wheel and seats anyway.

People just like the rugged styling..not a jacked-up hatchback!!

The magic about Compass for me has been that it is one of the few vehicles to pass km77's Moose Test brilliantly. With the heavier engine in the front, I doubt its capability on that regard anymore. Before: coarse. Future: possibly unbalanced.

That fanny pack is tough. Link??

They are 10% off now

id rent one thats it. not a fan of front wheel drive say good things so jeep sends you more press cars

i think the old engine was straight up a lemon, no one mentions how bad that thing burned oil. uber driver told me stories, warranty never covers it.

$43k….I’m thinking more value from Bavaria, like an X1.

How primitive, the engine hood stick😂

You get a lot more for your money in a Jeep the other competitors they do not

Alfa Romeo???

oh god, does it burn oil still a gallon every 400 miles. no joke

You’re not a sunglasses person? So you just stare into the sun when it’s in your face on the way home?! 😳😂

43k for such a small car??? nahhh

The smaller Fiat platform based Jeeps should be avoided at all costs and I think you mean Product Res not project red

No way to FCA.

Anyone who owns one can share about reliability and maintenance?

Only 200hp/220tq...? For $43k? Hardpass

40k time to go bmw 2 series idk

30k+ sure. 43k not with more reliable options available IMO

$30K maybe. $43 LOL

Most mechanics seem to think these are junk.

$43,000 and up! lol!

to much Fiat in and under the car for my taste.

I wouldn't want one or buy one . The previous models are oil leader, electric nightmares with their Cristal transmissions.

imagine having to use a stick in order to keep your hood open

They killed the Jeep grand Cherokee this is what they should have done to the G.C. I’m in The market for a Jeep grand Cherokee but I don’t like the new model. Might consider this but to small with no v8

Hell nah, i rather go exotic for that money

A 2.0 turbo making 200hp is just plain embarrassing.

Save your eyes and get some sun glasses.

Just not worth the increased price, $35k is about it.

Really?

They don't make the red in 2024. Disappointed

43k for that shit😂😂😂😂😂 no wonder they can't sell them

Yeah nope. 43K. For a pos compass. One born every minute.

Overpriced junk

Jeep vehicles always needs HEADS VALVES they inexpectidely get hot and you're out of their. Plus they're super ugly.

It's an over priced Fiat. With high price's for spare's.

2023 Jeep compost 😂

Not for me., I will keep my 4-runner for the same price, and it will start evey day, and last longer.

Wayy too much for this. This price is a joke
