I had a 2016 Jeep Compass as a rental during a business trip, and it wasn't by choice as all other cars were booked by the time I landed. It felt like I was catapulted back to the 90's, but with much less ergonomics and efficiency. It surprises me how a vehicle so poorly designed and engineered actually exists. Jeep should be ashamed for releasing that thing into production. A close second is the Chrysler 200, which I also had the unfortunate opportunity to drive as a rental.

I don't know why anyone would buy any of those cars.


Except the Frontier, it's a capable. reliable truck. If you care about road noise and how comfortable it is on a road trip then you should not be buying an entry level compact truck.

I mean if you buy crap cars, they're going to be crap. Some companies learned lessons in 2008-09. Chrysler/Dodge/Fiat/SuckasNotFiat is not one of them.

Mopar is the reason why the Auo companies left Detroit.
The Unions still contorl MOPAR.

I've never seen a Chrysler product that didn't have an electrical issue.

Their V8's fall apart from 100k to 125k miles.

They make junk.
