[@dubv6902]

That rock+4wd low mode is pretty impressive

[@rydingwithryan493]

I honestly thaought that those buttons did nothing but cost more but the awd system is really good if used properly

[@greggb681]

Okay, that rock mode is seriously impressive! The compass isn't the best vehicle in the world, but that 4wd system is amazing.

[@CarQuestion]

You got that right! And NO transfert case, or LSD front/rear!

[@afcgeo882]

I agree. I wish it was good on road.

[@yanni2737]

It is good on the road! Maybe not the best but surely mid-table!

[@sycodad4483]

I bought a 2018 compass trailhawk 4 weeks ago. 1700 miles on it. I thought it would look cool with some all terrain tires on it. Its hard to believe jeep made a "trail rated" suv with a tire size that you can NOT get all terrain tires in. WTF???

[@Pattfahey]

Very impressed with the performance of rock+4WD low! The auto mode seems to take a bit before it figures out the situation though

[@CarQuestion]

Yep Auto is for everyday use, but serious stuff like that, time to fix the mode!

Very impressive, this is my next car.

[@BBlackmen]

That was a amazing video love how you showed all the different systems thank you

[@kevin12697]

This is probably the first non serious off roader that has a lock button that actually helps

[@kameshdaware8709]

which colour is that am being reply on all of your trailhawk videos please answer

[@ZakElbas]

Please do Mazda CX-5, 2017 model. Thank you

[@filmigs4875]

What is caf lib?

[@user-kf4pl4sn4u]

please how much price for compass 2017

[@jacobshort5378]

Upgraded the tires to a AT on my compass and it's extremely impressive for what it can actually do. Can I hang with Wranglers? Overall no but I don't expect to.

[@jedironin380]

From your previous videos, it looks like the Subaru AWD is better than this vehicle in Auto Mode. The Compass in Rock + Low is impressive. I would have liked to see the gravel test in Snow Mode, too, might have helped?

[@afcgeo882]

How does it look like that to you?

[@azzhraanee201128]

cx5 2017 plzz

[@ryanhaines7682]

Just wait till the tcs goes out 😂😂😂

[@CarQuestion]

?

[@navneetruhal]

This trail hawak is available in india or not

[@The3dsGeek]

Navneet Ruhal No. But the rumors suggest a launch at auto expo 2018 in February

[@TnTTyler]

Previous Model Year Compass with the DFII Freedom Drive 2 option had a 19"1 crawl ratio and were slightly lighter, same type of capabilities as the new TH, check out my channel for some videos showing what It can do

[@SilverWolf25]

Seems like the vehicle has too many different modes. All you really need is the auto and the Rock+4WD Low. Seems very capable. Thanks for doing these diagonal tests.

[@afcgeo882]

That is of course until you're in snow a lot, when you wish for snow mode or in sand or mud...

[@zachmurphy71]

Auto mode takes too long to figure out what’s going on it’s mainly for everyday driving if you go off reading you’re going to want to have it in the appropriate mode otherwise it won’t lock it into 4wd the modes really do make a difference

[@andrewbeaudry4399]

Needs articulating suspension Otherwise call it a suv(station wagon)

[@afcgeo882]

It is an SUV and all suspensions articulate. I think you meant to say a solid live axle front suspension?

[@TMS5100]

Too easy for the jeep. Virtually zero wheelspin front or rear.

[@michalmatus8053]

Auto mode by Jeep in Compass is disappointment. Compare to Sorento for example and that's KIA !

[@bobbyrobby3600]

Last week I turn my Jeep Compass 2016, into a parking lot in the city and my right wheel hit the curb, I heard a big pop and there was a flat tire. The cheap plastic hubcap popped out also. So much for the all-terrain Jeep Compass 2016. Jeep sells cheap skinny crappy small tires to save money on the standard model. Yea, my Jeep, had no bells and whistles. It was the basic standard model car. However, they didn't have to be that cheap putting dangerous cheap tires, not worth a crap, on the Jeep.

[@7r0j4n]

ugly car and i hate that engine and transmission, but good reviews thanks
