Don't buy

Never buy any Jeep product that is not fit for Indian customers, lacks service, stud down dealers, is extremely high maintenance, and has the worst real value. I'm already an existing user. Good to drive is the only reason, go for XUV 700, mg, best will Toyota, Tata you regret and suffer after 2 years of this JEEP, thankyou

Wonderful experience

A great driving experience I had with the Jeep Compass. Either off-road or smooth road, you will feel great comfort next to luxury. Smooth drive even on rough stretches. Loaded with a variety of features.

Extremely Overpriced

If you want comfort in a 5 seater car with good luggage capacity --- Creta/Seltos. --you save 20 lacs. If you want great safety and ride handling good reliable engine -- Harrier/XUV500 -- You save 20 lacs. If you want specific off-roader --- Thar -- save 25lacs If you want good off-roader and lot of luggage space Insane custom options-- upcoming Isuzu VCROSS -- save 15 lacs Exceedingly Overpriced. with the saving on all other options you can drive and maintain them for 10-15 years of ownership. BUT you got money, no one is stopping you. Don't worry about the 7 seater shit no one can sit there for any off-road situation where this car is meant to go. And if you are sitting 7 good luck fitting in your luggage. The saving on the all above cars is much better to deal than the TOYOTA engine. Plus after the merger with Maruthi Suzuki, they have started building some kind of bodies. Build quality has down. So Sad to see such a great brand taking this route for profit destroying all the trust they build over so many years.
