I like the cloth seats but would prefer bench seats for these smaller vehicles. I put a key lock gas cap on and the MIL code on dash board lit up, also tried to put the old gas cap back on and still won't turn off, may be bad gas but mostly putting in the 87 blend and with the way gas prices are these days all cars should come with a key lock gas cap. The cruise control needs to be less complicated. I have the 2.4 engine with 4wd so if you are able to set cruise control before going up hills it's better. Would have preferred a 6 cylinder and a little more room to move inside.
Great adgility for around town .

First off: has been very very dependable without asking anything extra from me. Can't say that about all my relationships.
Pricey with a few "frills" missing. Like no locking "glove box" Like no electronic plug-in in the rear seat area. Like no little blinkin' lights on the left and right rear view outside mirrors to warn people I'm changing lanes. Guess that's their problem, not mine.
Safety issue: Driver's side windshield piler is so wide that is blocks view when making left hand turns.
The frills that I LOVE are heated leather seats, rear view camera, nice to open the door and SLIDE right in (17 inch wheels!) and with the open sunroof interior slide open my hair looks gorgeous.
Front drivers seat very comfortable. Haven't ridden in the passenger seat. Well, someone had to drive.
Excellent little 4x4 SUV

Purchased my Compass in July this year. I wanted a Compass True North but Jeep does not build one, just for the auto shows. So I purchased my Compass 2.4, six speed auto,4x4. Using the spec's found for the True North, I built one. I added the two inch lift kit and added a performance intake. This is the best SUV I have ever had. I truly love driving the Compass. For those who complain that the engine is sluggish, a performance intake will fix the issue without effecting gas mileage. The lift kit is for better off-roading. No mountain climbing or forging rivers, just good off-roading fun.

I just got the 2.4 automatic Compass Limited last week.
It's a fleet vehicle, didn't have a choice so didn't test driver one.
Picked up the car one evening, didn't do anything but drive home 5 miles.
Woke up the next morning and the remote access buttons on the key did not work, used the key, got in, started the car and the radio wasn't working either.
All kinds of similar issues.
I'm sure that can be fixed but the biggest problem is the engine/powertrain.
The vehicle does terrible when you try to accelerate to change lane or merge, pulls to the point of almost losing control.
I drove a '12 Escape with a 2.5 engine, much more powerful engine.
Another Good Jeep

We have had the Compass for 6 months now. We previously had a 2007 Liberty, and 2000 Cherokee. This Compass has been terrific despite what the "expert" reviews say. It is a CROSSOVER SUV it's not ment to be a hardcore off roader(buy a Wrangler). The 2.4L engine with 6 speed has enough power, it's not going to win the Daytona 500 but has plenty to get out of it's own way and it is very quiet to me, unless you floor the gas pedal all the time. As a matter of fact at idle we can't hear or feel it running.
I am 6ft, 300lbs. and have no issues with interior room or comfort. Been averaging 24 to 25mpg with mixed city/hwy driving.(30 to 31mpg when we take a road trip).For $25,000 you can't beat it
Low cost SUV

Never owned a Jeep before, but I bought the 5 speed with the 2.4L engine.
I have put 2k+ on it so far.
It is a fun car to drive with plenty of room for me at 6'1".
I Love it!

I have read a lot of poor reviews on this vehicle and I have to be honest, I'm quite surprised.
I absolutely love my 2014 Jeep Latitude 2.4 4x4.
It drives amazing in the snow.
I feel so safe and I also test drove a few other vehicles, including the Nissan Rogue.
I absolutely hated the interior of the Rogue and felt it display screen was very outdated as compared to the Jeep touch screen 6.5 display.
I definitely recommend the Lattitudes.
I didn't test drive the sport though, so maybe thats what people were unhappy with.
don't buy Jeep

Your review mentions sluggish acceleration and cramped back seat. I found the opposite. I bought the Sport 4X2 with 2.4 engine and 6-speed automatic (your review had the CVT and had not tested the 6-speed). I tried the CVT and waited for the 6-speed; I'm glad I did. I drove the 2.0 engine and it was too weak, but the 2.4 is fine. And the 6-speed is a big improvement over the CVT. It has plenty of room- front and back- for a small vehicle. I compared the Escape, RAV4, Subaru, Mitsubishi, and others, including the Dart, Focus, and Avenger.
