Interested in purchasing a 2013 Jeep Compass? Before you go out and spend your well-earned money, read the information we have gathered below to make sure this vehicle will give you the most bang for your buck and has all the features you are looking for. So what are do the critics have to say about the 2013 Jeep Compass? There seems to be a consensus that the while Jeep's attempt at making a fuel-efficient, off-road compact SUV are admirable, the Compass falls short of the mark in both areas. The Compass comes in 3 different models: the Sport, the Latitude and the Limited, which vary in features, with the Limited coming with a 2.4L 4-cycle engine, slighter larger than the 2.0L engine that the other models have. Of course, the larger the engine, the lower the gas efficiency, with the Limited getting you a less than impressive 21 city/27 hwy miles per gallon, while the Standard will get you 23 city/30 hwy miles per gallon.  The Latitude gets you slightly less highway miles, coming in at 23 city/28 hwy miles per gallon. And while the models with the smaller engines do offer better gas mileage than some same-class competitors, the Compass leaves drivers less than impressed with its' power and off-road capabilities, two of the main reasons for wanting to purchase anything in the Jeep family.
