Nah, I had a 2018 Compass when it first coming and almost two years in, I traded it in for a 2010 Element that I liked a helluva lot better. My grandma had a 2021 Renegade before she died and I got to drive that occasionally and I find the Renegade better than the Compass. Hell, if I had the money, I’d have both my Wrangler 6MT and take over the financing for the Renegade.

My friend who is 30 and has never had a license or literally ever driven a vehicle insists he wants a jeep if he ever gets a car. I told him they're shitheaps and he said "every car brand makes some good cars and some bad cars." Even if that was true, toyota still basically only makes good cars and jeep basically only makes bad cars lmao. Guy refused to believe me when I was telling him cars aren't magical and there are factual metrics to measure which brands and models are reliable. He kept insisting that brand didn't matter and that every car has problems so it doesn't matter. I asked him if he seriously thought a 4runner and a wrangler from the same year would require the same amount of repairs and maintenance by 100k. He said yes. Sigh.

Stepping on the accelerator was always a complete crapshoot, I swear the thing was sometimes extremely sensitive and other times just completely non-existent.

It's got to be a FCA/Stellantis/Whatever they're calling themselves this week thing. I have a Chrysler Pacifica as a rental as my Subie gets repaired after a collision, and that car is weird in all the wrong ways -- 1. The Gas pedal is dead for at least an inch or so if you want to get the transmission to kickdown, and then it just defaults to some mystery gear (because no gear display) that revs the motor up to 3000+ rpm no matter if you're doing 70 on the interstate or 30 on residential streets. 2. Traction Control is a mere suggestion, it exists merely to check a box on a list but does absolutely nothing - it spins the front wheels in a heartbeat. I am using the FWD model so I can't speak for the AWD model, but dear god this thing will kill somebody on icy winter days. I get it, it's fun to spin tires in a Charger or Challenger, but this is a family hauler. Are they using the same computers for both cars? 3. To be fair, the V6 is actually decent - the car gets up to 80mph pretty quickly, but it will suck the tank dry. 15-17 mpg is what i'm getting. 4. The Adaptive Cruise Control is modeled after the brain patterns of a NYC cab driver - it brakes hard, accelerates hard, and feels totally unpredictable. 5. Mystery shudders, bumps, jerks and noises seem to be a standard feature.

They aren't available new anymore and I wasn't comfortable with junkyard pulls so I sold it for basically scrap price. It was otherwise completely undamaged.

Truthfully, if I owned a car that was a total POS, I'd love to have RCR drive it and roast it. I'm pretty sure fans who offer up their cars for review know full well what they're getting into.

If he ever reviews my 2014 Sentra 6MT, no matter what he'll say about it, I'll view it as a badge of honor.
Dude the opening dialogue was a masterpiece.
I heard Tommy Fenstamacher worked at Kunkleman CDRJ as a detailer for week, until they found out he would bust and wax the car with......
What a timely review. I just rented one of these from the airport. Your review is spot on. It's...transportation.
I have found Jeep Compasses to be the vehicles that most often rapidly speed towards a red light in urban settings. In suburban settings, they'll pull out in front of you, drive slow, and then speed up when you go to pass in the left lane.

You’ve described the majority of PA drivers.
Best intro by far, nothing will beat it!
I lost it at "I heard Tommy Fenstamacher kicked a dude in the front keister so hard the doctor said even his grandkids won't be able to have children."
It's been soooooooooo long since I've heard the good-ol' salesman from the Bravada gig 😃
The owner said you need better pull-out game for smoothness 😂…on the brighter side, it’s a manual!

Tommy Fenstamacher is a legend
me when i hear tommy fenstamacher: RETURN OF THE KING
I heard that Tommy Fenstamacher said something halfway smart the other day and it started a bunch of rumors 😅
I love how accurate this review is, and I have not even driven the 2018 version. Also I love that this compass is worse in every way than my 04 stratus. The stratus even had a jeep branded jack kit.
God damn, Roman comin in hot with those harmonies.
I absolutely lost it when I heard "remedial lunch." Holy crap, that was so funny.
you described so many people i know this is actually scary. protect Mr Regular at all costs
Everytime RCR Intros are just out of space 🤣 Thats SO Ferengi-Style, oh my god i love it 🤣❤👽
This is the best and funniest RCR up to this point which is SAYING something. Great work im in stitches rn 💀💀
I love how this channel duals as a honest/satire car review channel as much as it duals as a Pennsylvanian Roast.
Always great review in depth. Love it. Nobody does like RCR. ❤❤❤
That end song & review are amazing. Ya'll got serious talent

Thank you!
This guy goes further off the deep end with every year that goes by and I'm here for it.
Bro it's a cute manual tall station wagon. Designed for doing what Wranglers are actually used for: driving on paved roads. Jeep absolutely nailed it
Those Tommy Fenstamacher skits are fucking hilarious
God the first minute and a half are pure gold. I love this channel so much.
I loved that improvised conversation between the ditzy girl and the neferious salesman at the start. 😅 That's exactly how I imagine most of these were sold. Wrangler dreams being slowly diminished.
The "Tommy Fenstamacher" skit is too funny.
This is great!! So funny. Even funnier is I did the Jericho Mtn Jeep badge of honor trail in a lifted Volvo XC90. Had to steal a vin from a bone stock liberty parked nearby. The badge of honor app won’t acknowledge or track you unless it’s a Jeep. It’ll show up on their carfax but wouldn’t that up the gnar value??😂
18:10 love this Sparks cover Roman, I would actually love to hear the full version if it exist
That unhinged Ferengi impression was perfect.
Had some good belly laughs on this one boys, keep up the good work 👍
It feels no matter how consistently awful these products are there are always going to be customers willing to pay for them.

Parachutes is an all-time album to me, and I was on a pretty big kick with listening to this song, so that's why I chose it for the outro, even though it probably would have been smarter to do it for the Chevy Spark review.😅
Thats something you learn pretty quickly when you drive cars for a living " Disapointment is a renewable resource". Man i resonated with that so much lol.
"It's an airport rental for the bottomless bloody mary crowd." You're so accurate and savage. Like a verbal sniper handing out medulla oblongata headshots from your position a quater mile away up a tree. Thank you for your service, Mr. Regular.
That laugh is beyond awesome
The jeep compass is the kind of car that shows up to go offroading only to get outdone by an 06 Pontiac vibe that got lost and took a wrong turn. Also why do you have to call me out like that? XD
6:42 this is an excellent Moleman. Not trying for a pitch-perfect impersonation, but instead deftly capturing the agonizing pain in which he lives every day.
At least the jeep's a nice color. It's getting hard to find good blues these days, they've mostly gone to darker shades, or have been removed entirely. We've mostly been without greens since the 90's.

Right? Why are car makers so allergic to colours these days? Everything is grey, black and silver. Green is such a great colour too. I miss cheery 90’s colours.
