Thinking of buying the 2020 Jeep Compass?
No 2020 Jeep Compass is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans.

Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 143 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Engine and fuel
It uses the 2.4L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The EPA rates it at 9.0 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 27 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $139.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Living with the Compass
Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
When the Compass makes sense
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Compass for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the Compass on your commute before you commit to it.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.95 in fuel.
Year and trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
