The 2016 Jeep Compass for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2016 Jeep Compass; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is what to know about the 2016 Jeep Compass before buying one.
Before you sign for the Compass
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The numbers in plain words
Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Fuel use is rated 9.3 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 28 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $14.42. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space and size
Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Good uses for the Compass
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
A longer test drive
If the Compass is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week with the Compass answers more than any brochure. Rent the Compass for a week and see how it fits your life.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
