Don't confuse the Compass's smaller frame with an inability to perform like a Jeep. The 2012 Jeep Compass has been tested to prove its off-road capability and passed with flying colors. Just because you are scaling boulders and rumbling through the woods doesn't mean you can't be comfortable and draped in luxury. The 2012 Jeep Compass can't be truly appreciated until you climb into the cabin and get behind the wheel. If you are interested in test driving one, simply give us a call at (888) 509-7430 or stop by our Chicago Area New Car Dealership at 77 Rand Road, Des Plaines, IL 60016.
