Jeep Compass – Perry's Opinion:
Acceleration from the Compass's four-cylinder engine wasn't dramatic but proved to be sufficient when navigating the freeway, and it proved to be fuel efficient by getting 22.6 mpg during my drive time. This is better than the Saturn Green Line hybrid we just had in the office. While it is hard to overlook the plastics used on the interior, they're almost acceptable when you consider the Compass's low starting price. The Compass will likely never be truly appreciated as a Jeep, but it really does deliver value for your dollar. I could see this being a great vehicle for the college student, especially if attending college in the mid west or on the east coast where winters create difficulties for driving.
