My ds has been looking for a new to him car for months. He recently found a very low mileage 2015 Compass. He is very interested in it but did some research on it and it has gotten low reviews. He's also wondering why it is available-- thinking maybe the previous owner got rid of it before things went bad. I thought I would ask here in hopes that someone had experience with this car. Thanks in advance!

I had one for about 2 weeks as a rental. What a POS. It felt very cheaply made and just like a big bucket of bolts.

I just bought a new car last week. I was looking at these as well. I then saw so many used ones which concerned me because why would people trade them in if they were good. I mean these were 2014 and 2015 Used Jeep Compasses. I did not do any research on them but came to that conclusion all on my own.

My daughter works for a car dealership as a buyer, her opinion...POS. She wouldn't wish that car on anyone. The Jeep Cherokee & Wranglers are a better choice if you are looking for a Jeep.

DH runs an auto repair shop (and worked to at Chrysler/Jeep back in the day). He hates all Jeeps with a passion. POS!

Funny, I had a car lot call recently for a quote on a windshield on a compass. Without prompting he goes on a rant about what a POS this car is and how he'd never have one. He did admit that he hated chryslers.
My last jeep (wrangler) was a PITA while shifting so I traded it off even though it was still under warranty.

Thank you all for your replies. I will pass along the info. This will be his first major purchase all on his own so he is trying to be very cautious in his decision. I don't want him to make a purchase he will soon regret. I'm glad I asked here so that we have a real opinion as opposed to the salesman giving us some random reason as to why it has gotten bad reviews.

I think we test drove one because the price was so low. POS...it had crank windows and manual door locks. We got a Jeep latitude instead and we LOVE it...
