Well, I bought this car for its comfortable ride quality and amazing looks. Performance is good. The customer support and service cost is too much. Also, Jeep must work on their relationship-building skills and customer service else they have not learned from the mistakes of Fiat and Ford.

Excellent Build quality driven 90,000 km in 6 yrs.; but both fuel pump & HP pump broke down in middle of road. Sent vehicle to Service station where they came up with adulterated fuel theory and parts being out of warranty, a quick research on GOOGLE showed many more victims of same problem even at 25000/40000 kms. I was amazed by such low quality/ unfit for India Fuel - internal parts which don't last even 1,00,000 kms whereas Toyota, Maruti other cars which I also own don't bother before 1.5-2.0 Lakh kms for such issues. The repair/part replacement estimate is above 1,75,000 rupees. NEW BUYERS BEWARE - Only consider this car only if ready to sell within warranty... beyond 5 years be ready to pay 1L+ for minor breakdowns each time.

After a lot of research zeroed in on Jeep Compass for our frequent self driven inter state drives. The primary drivers for our selection of a car was safety and driving pleasure. With both these parameters in mind, the Jeep fitted the bill very well. I have driven over 35,000 kms in about 15 months. Love the manual as felt better control and driving pleasure. Great acceleration and no vibration even at 140+ speeds. The NVH ( noise, vibration and harshness) are decent though not best in class. Done three services at Kochi - The experience has been extremely satisfactory. The two factors which any prospective buyers need to bear in mind are the turning radius which is large and the clutch is on the heavier side. I have used the car occasionally for our daily commutes. Though not a large SUV by European Standards , comfortably seats four with ample boot space. The AC has been efficient and keeps all within the comfort range. The panoramic sunroof adds a lot of light inside the cabin particularly as the seats and dashboard are dark shades. I loved the grunt of the engine and the macho looks.

One of the worst car since I have driven it for 83000 kms hard clutch and hefty maintenance u can maintain a BMW if you pay such kind of money worst service never imagined this from Jeep Company at least The pathetic experience I had paid more than 2.50 lakhs on maintenance for keeping the car for 5 years do think twice before buying the same.
