The Compass has the fuel economy of a 4 cylinder sedan, with the comfort of an SUV. Yet those 4 cylinders put out approx 172 HP, more than enough to get the vehicle hussling down the road at a good pace without feeling gutless. see full Jeep Compass review

Compared to the 13 mpg avg of our 04 Dakota, it was a no brainer. see full Jeep Compass review
