AMD when he sees terrible design decisions:
“That’s ok…”
With the tone of a parent of a teenager 😂😂😂
The best comment ever 😂😂😂😂
“That’s ok” equals WTF! 🫣🫣
But that's okay.
I lost count of the number of "That's OKs" in this review. Jeep/Stellantis has got to be kidding with the price of this vehicle, especially given how unrefined and disposable it looks to be. Oh, and note the number 3 as the first digit of the VIN; that means the vehicle was manufactured in Mexico. For that price, at least Stellantis could have built them here in the USA.
that's okay, not the end of the world. but when he says it twenty times, it adds up to being not okay.
Anyone that looks to buy a new car should always watch a technical review and not just a driving and user review , well done with this video and others like this your reviewing .
That is exactly what I did when comparing the 2023 Honda CRV to the 2023 Toyota Rav4 after his video went with the Toyota Rav4 hybrid.
Nailed it 👍
Exactly. All new cars present well these days. All manufacturers do a pretty good job with things like nice interiors, nice fit and finish, and they all drive pretty well. The technical reviews are important because they get into the weeds of vehicles that most people don’t think about and things you don’t see when you go to the dealer to look at it. Manufacturers cut corners on the things most consumers don’t even think about.
They hide technical reviews on purpose. They don't pay reviewers at all compared to basic driving reviews.
@@DYIguy Don't forget he is a Toyota guy, ... but I agree that Toyota is quite the best bet.
Whenever he says "...but, that's OK..." he really means "It will cost you double the labor"
Lol...he said "that's ok" a lot of times on the compass!
Moving past that, but its not the end of the world! LOL
The truth have to be said
There should be an under/over counter on how many times Amd says “That’s OK Not the end of the world” Any car yhat gets more than 5, should be sent back to the drawing board and be skipped by the consumer. Amd is awesome. I have learned so much from him.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like your honesty. It’s the foundation of your channel. I hope you will keep this! This differentiates your channel from the hundreds of other channels who sometimes act as PR from manufacturers. Thanks a lot!
I've been binge-watching your videos on both channels recently. So glad I stumbled upon them a few weeks ago when I started shopping for a vehicle. Not to sound obsessed but you're concise, down to earth and completely chill, like a car mechanic version of Bob Ross. Your input is appreciated.
I absolutely love the transparency AMD shows in these should you buy videos.Even if he was reviewing a Toyota and it had flaws and such he would call them out. Keep them coming sir as people definitively need to be well educated before making a vehicle purchase.
Although I generally agree with you, do people who buy Jeeps really read reviews before they sign on the dotted line? 😂
He quite biased. Some of the stuff he was calling out was BS
@@Turshinif it’s not a Toyota or Lexus he isn’t crazy about it. He was surprisingly fairly positive on the Chevy Trax.
I love this channel, the reviews are not only informative but fun to watch. I love it when he says "the transmission has a hole in it but that's ok not a big deal" lol
On the bright side... if you work on cars for a living, you'll always have a roof over your head and food in your belly with Jeeps being produced.
Wow, that’s a great argument!
And we can also see that the potential of creating more jobs and domestic GDP by choosing this lovely jeep compass 😂😂😂
$40,000 for this car?? Lol. I would not pay $4.00 for that piece of junk.
No mechanic with a brain wants to work on these cars no matter what they are going to get paid, poorly designed unnecessarily complicated designs cost mechanics time and money ultimately
I wonder if the Flat rate service is adjusted for these new vehicles, just imagine doing warranty work at the manufacturer half rate on this fine Stelantis products.
Fiat design at the finest. Jeep has duped Americans into buying the cloned Fiat 500 by more than 0.5 million each year.😊 That includes Cherokee, Patriot, Renegade and Compass.
Better spend your hard earned cash on RAV4 or CRV. They last longer and hold up value when you sell them
Great stuff. Honest review with a bit of dry humor. Good Work.
I alreadt bought a new car this yr but still watch these vids bc this man has such a safe and comforting aura lol.
Best channel for real detail review!
Absolutely love your vehicle reviews! Not only your honesty but also the details you give that are so valuable to someone like myself who usually works on my own vehicles and intends to keep things for a long time.
I love the "That's ok" after every negative comment.
"The engine block is made out of plastic. So the first time you start it and it warms up, it'll melt and the whole engine will be destroyed.
That's ok. Not a big deal". 😂
🤣😂🤣😂
That is not true and you know it!
Should I buy a Jeep Compass? Heck, I knew the answer to that before I even saw the video! 😂
❌😂😂😂😂
🙏PREACH🙏
I love my compass 2020 same color runs excellent
I'm not in the market for a new car but I still really enjoy your reviews. :))
These reviews are fantastic.
Great Work‼️ Thqnk you.
Amazing channel! Fantastic review with so much knowledge. It is like having a family member who is a mechanic. One suggestion: please add specs for the cars (hp, torque etc) either at the end or on-screen as you talk about the vehicle.
I had a 2022 compass as a rental for 3 days and it overheated a few times in traffic. I hope that Jeep figures out build quality/reliability for this model soon.
We love your videos- just as a quick note, for shorter people, it is really helpful when the car manufacturer places the automatic closing door button in the back at an appropriate height. When it is placed on top of the trunk door, it may be way too high leaving us using the car fob to close the door.
Western world problems, lol.
We bought a Compass new in 2012. Being unfamiliar with CVTs, I was skeptical of the transmission, but I've got to admit I came to love the smoothness and response of it compared to the 9-speed transmission in our 2014 Cherokee (also bought new). Over the years, there have been a few worn parts that needed to be replaced (some with annoying frequency), but the powertrain has been reliable. Now, after 257,000+ miles, we're finally looking to replace it, most likely with another Compass. And yeah, the sticker shock is real.
Thanks for the review. I don't know if you've scared me off a new Compass, but at least I know what to look out for. Besides, I think a turbo in a Compass has a certain irony to it, no? 😊
I have a 2020 Jeep Compass and I love it so much I bought another 2022 Jeep Compass. Of course I dont have any turbo's just naturally aspirated engines and 9 speed automatics and they are the best looking most comfortable cars that I have ever owned so I guess it depends on how you look at it but I recommend a Jeep Compass for a comfortable and good looking vehicle.
Hi AMD! Can you do a mechanic review of the Acura MDX? I really enjoy your reviews and videos. Thanks for the good content.
Thanks for reviewing this 2023 Jeep Compass.
Gotta save and reuse the line: "Is this a disposable car?" That is a classic!
They are all disposable, some just last longer than others.
Very good presentation, didn’t change my mind went and bought 2023 CommPass limited with the elite package. You gave a super overview of my new ride. Really appreciate. Previous rides were GM products. No complaints there went with jeep pricing was good. Quality was good and the new COM pass. Replaced my XT four. Just for your information. I don’t think anyone works on their cars anymore so it doesn’t phase me, what type of valve cover or where the compressor is located. As far as underneath the vehicle you gave me a good insight and I don’t have any problems there. I fully understand this is not an off-road vehicle. The 4 x 4 will get by Michigan roads in the winter time. I do think you have a little animosity towards jeep. However, you give a great overview and I will continue to watch your videos. Just my opinion.
Your right about most people not working on cars anymore but the placement of items does count when it’s time for repairs because they charge by the hour and if something like replacing a starter means removing other items then that’s going to directly affect your pocketbook.
I have 2 Jeep compass SUVs one a 2020 and 2022 and love them! He definitely does not like the Jeep brand and it shows. I mean he doesnt like the look of the car and that has nothing to do with the quality. I love the look of this car and get alot of compliments on mine.
you were still driving an xt4? answers why you traded for a jeep compass
This is similar to looking at a vehicle's specs/improvement between a 2000 /5 Ford Taurus sedan transmission to 2006 - onward. We are talking about first-time improvement in transmission moving forward and not backward.This video is about upgrades made so far on this current edition make and model.
weell, I bought a 23 Trailhawk. i traded in my 10 yo Mini Cooper so walked out owing 28K. So happy with the deal. i didn't purchase the offered vehicle protection plan but having second thoughts after this review.
Great review
As a “shade tree” mechanic I’ve always felt that mechanics should be in on the design of cars. My experiences with cars goes back to the 60’s. Then cars were easier to work on , starter motors, batteries, transmissions etc. were accessible and simple. Now in order to something simple as changing spark plugs becomes a pain. I’m looking for a manual, 4 cylinder small truck to tool around in .
I think it is unfortunate we cannot find a basic 4 cylinder new truck price of an economy car. We used to be able to. Even up to 2017 with the Nissan Frontier S base model under $16000 with discounts.
As a mechanical engineer, I can agree, and am always welcome to constructive criticism. I always learn from my coworkers.
" I’m looking for a manual, 4 cylinder small truck to tool around in ." This is the same for me except it has to be a NA engine or at the very most a v6 if I ever plan to tow something or carry more people. V8 is great and all but too much for me in the grand scheme of things.
You tore this car apart so eloquently , it was amazing
Learned quite a bit watching your videos! Wonder if you can get your hands on an Alfa Romeo. Would be interesting to see your take on a car that’s not as common as a RX350.
Thanks for another great review! Topically just after 15 minutes in (as AMD discussed), one of my coworkers this past week mentioned her Jeep has had problems, including an 800 expense to get the starter replaced. She's had hers maybe 4 years, judging from her indicating she just paid it off.
I like your coworker being honest, unlike those who paid out of their pockets repairs on those modern industrial plastic junk for protecting the brands, those owners are truly sadness with even same brand owner questioning their driving/maintaining behaviors
My 2008 Honda Accord needed a new starter at 100k miles in 2017. I was so disappointed lol
@@ItsAlive111 I could have taken the 07 Accord with a v6 from my dad when he got the ~16 Avalon hybrid. Instead I stuck with the 06 Camry (also was one of his), figuring that "silver bullet" was too easy to get speeding tickets with thanks to its acceleration. Great braking and traction too on it, but the 4 cylinder Camry's gas mileage was better. As I've now gotten the odometer past 187000 miles. Even as the sound system is no longer as good as it used to be. (Rear speakers look bad, assuming they still work.)
@@ItsAlive111 not a have-to but anyway replaced it in my 04 grand Cherokee in 150k at 2021
$800 USD for the starter? Yikes!
a separate "screen off" button is a bit overkill - In KIAs and Nissan its usually done by pushing in and holding volume knob for 3s. I don't know how many people use it often, I used that functionality about 5 times (during 3 years of ownership) to save some battery charge with car stopped and in ACC mode on
I love my 14 Cherokee with 2.4, it has been extremely reliable never even had a check engine light, it doesn’t burn oil or anything it has 264,000 miles and counting, I drive it everyday, the only thing that’s been done to it was new shocks
I thought a compass always pointed North. Not with Jeep... they always point to the JUNKYARD.
Rofl
Can I see proof ? Online sees owners reaching 200k plus with out issues.
Seems like other brands point to sky?😂
🤘🤣🤘
Had Jeep built the new Jeeps like my 2004 Liberty, they'd have a good vehicle. It is powered by a simple 3.7 V-6 (lots of power). There are a few things that need fixin' but at least it runs great and cost me a $1,000. Thinking of new Jeep for me? Hell no.
Thanx a lot, smart friend !
Would love to see a review of Yukon/Tahoe twins with the baby diesel! Inquiring minds want to know if current full size trucks/SUVs from the big 3 are worth taking a risk on.
Wish he did the trailhawk since I'm thinking of purchasing
its the same thing with bigger tires.
Had a 2020 Compass and hated it. It left me stranded at only 5000 miles because a radiator hose fell off. Mechanic at the dealer was even confused. Like how does that even happen? Thankfully 2020 trade in prices were crazy good and I traded it in for my 2021 Tacoma.
Nice mechanical review. Hopefully you'll review a 23' Blazer sometime. I just bought one a couple months ago and I'm liking it but would love to hear your take on it. Keep up the great work!
My 16 compass has run good after 104k miles except for the relays inside of front left fender getting corroded ...1k fix with parts ,labor ...mopar wiring harness was 470 bucks
I would like to see one on the outback XT! Love your videos
@@clickonprofile264 no I have a gift for gou
AMD have you done a review of a 2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid? The Maverick is in high demand. Would love to hear your opinion.
I stopped watching after the engine bay, already convinced I would not buy. "But that's OK, that's the way they did it"
rot in hell scammer @@clickonprofile488
The PCV is actually serviceable. I changed it not too long ago on my Cherokee with this engine, but interesting to see the quality differences between the two. Mine only has one aluminum pan rather than the base and the steel pan. The OEM hoses come with new hardware when it is time to change them. I do notice that mine only uses one overflow reservoir rather than two that the Compass and Wrangler use. The engine seems to be little stuffed under the Compass engine bay, though. The Cherokee also doesn’t use an auxiliary battery. I will say I’m not surprised by this, I don’t understand the pricing of the Compass. It’s an entry level vehicle that costs more than vehicles in the middle of their lineup.
Be blessed,stay safe. Ty.
I knew the answer to the question before I watched. But good video!
My sister has the identical car, different color. She has been spending quite a bit of time at the dealership for several (warranty) issues. She has a bit of remourse.
I have always told my sister to get Toyotas. Started with Corolla and then RAV-4. She is a happy customer. Lol
As always a great review. I would like to see a review of the New Nissan Pathfinder, is that maybe in the works?
Do not get a Nissan
That engine resembles the one in the Alfa Romeo Tonale and Dodge Hornet, with the tall air filter housing. Also Stellantis cars.
I believe it’s the same engine that’s in the Dodge Hornet, which is a rebadged Tonale.
hi there, new subscriber here. Could you do a review on Subaru Forester or Outback and VW Atlas 2.0T? Pleaseeeeee
Thank you for sharing the truth and honesty on your reviews! Much appreciated!
It's a fair review and I have to agree that the price is a huge sticking point. If you are considering any Jeep though, you really need some more time behind the wheel of it. As for the styling, nearly across the board this refreshed design was labeled as a mini Grand Cherokee when it was first introduced and personally I think it is a good look. The shorter windows on the side and rear though do decrease visibility. I have driven the Grand Cherokee with the V6, the compass with the 2.5 Tigershark engine, the Cherokee with the 2.0L turbo, and the Cherokee with the 3.2L V6. I was not a fan of the Tigershark but I did like the new 2.0L turbo, but wasn't sure how it would be long term for reliability. We have now had a Grand Cherokee for 2 years (2015 model V6) and that thing has been very good to us. Recently we added a Cherokee to the mix (2019 model v6) and so far it too has been solid but too soon to really judge the vehicle. I too considered buying a Compass but the price vs size and what you get just didn't present any value when compared to the bigger options in the Jeep family. I usually buy used vehicles so those are the price comparisons I did, used vs. used.
I’ve had 3 Grand Cherokees; a 1998, 2002, and now a 2011. I had cooling system issue with my 2002, but I also bought it with 150k miles on it and did not know it’s maintenance history. Traded it for my 2011, which has been a very good vehicle for my family in the years we’ve had it. Still drives like a champ. Fluid changes are key for Jeeps. All of them get changed every 30K miles and I change my oil no later than 5K. Other than that I’ve replaced two blend door gears, a blower motor and an A/C line; all of which were reasonable repairs given the 113 degree climate I live in. I run my A/C into the ground. It was hardly unexpected.
Please review the 2023 Gmc terrain AT4
Hey stop bad-mouthing the Compass, my sister has had three of them and the current one has 22K miles and has only been hauled into the shop three times, how can you call it unreliable? /S
Three huh? Slow learner? 🙂
The sarcasm is strong, can you feel it 😮😮😮😮
She got lucky 🤣
15k miles and i havent brought it to the dealership yet.
Does she pay to have air put into the tires?
Did Fiat make this? . Love watching your reviews while I sip on my morning coffee. Thank You.
Please review the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander!
I'd walk before buying one. My shoes are more reliable.
These aren’t unreliable cars. U wouldn’t see a car that’s best selling in the unreliable group. People aren’t stupid.
@@Natethegreat200cActually people are stupid
@@Natethegreat200c well, that's not true. people are very stupid. They buy something just because it's loaded for an affordable price and they think they're getting a great deal, until it's burning tons of oil at 30,000 miles and in the junk yard by 90,000 miles. Chrysler knows what they're doing, make it enticing for buyers and then they're stuck with complete trash. Good luck with these transmissions too btw. Go sell this garbage to somebody else lmao
Are your brain cells ok ? Stop defending it. 💩💩💩🤮🤮
@@Natethegreat200c Only the small group of people who buys these cars are the stupid ones! The rest of us have better sense.

Thanks for the video. I have a quick question took my 2021 Toyota Corolla LE in for a 4 wheel alignment. To a non Toyota mechanic, and they said they couldn't adjust the right rear wheel should I take my Toyota to a Toyota mechanic instead?
Im not surprised an ex toyota tech doesn't like the compas. I, on the other hand, really like this.
I'd love to see a review on a 23 Nissan Armada or a Honda Odyssey!
Not sure why anyone would buy this Fiat POS over a Rav 4.
Good informative review as always 👍
Because it's got a real AWD system, not the wanna be you get in a RAV4 😀😀😀
I would take a Corolla Cross over this by far!!!
And the Subaru Forester!

Can you please do a review of the Subaru boxer engine 2.5L (non turbo)???
You just saved me 40k!!! 😂 God Bless You, Sir! 🙏👍
13:19 why’s the oil filter exposed?
Please review chevy traverse 2024 once it becomes available. Looks very promising and competitive.
I think the reason for the placement of the injectors in that location is to minimize, if not reduce carbon build-up that can clog them
Just want to say that I drove an older Compass with the older powertrain and then I drove this newer powertrain. I was extremely impressed with how much smoother this setup was and how much better the transmission was calibrated. I liked the interior and how well the suv took bumps. I kept thinking I can’t believe this is a lower-end Jeep. They used to be so much worse compared to the competition.
Do you work for Stellantis?
@@economicfusion6065 Nope😂
I agree I love the Compass. Those that are trashing it never drove or owned one so they are all BS
You don't have to drive a Jepp to know its trash though. Any US car is made horrendously and are unreliable compared to a Japanese car. The only reason you get them is because they are dirt cheap and you assume the immediate cost savings warrants the gauranteed issues, or justify beating it up till it dies. Now that's no longer the case...they are charging a compass as if its thier main platform....and laughably as if its comparible to something remotely as reliable as a Honda or Toyota offering - which is a huge con job.
This car car drive like silk on butter...but nothing will change its high cost, mechanical and electrical issues that any mechanic will promise you will happen before your car note is paid off. No one needs to drive one to know this... just have to look at the history, who made it, and the price.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I really like the look of a Jeep Compass compared to other cars, like the Japanese which all of them have some "transformer" look. Interesting the different opinions.
I think they are the best looking of any SUV!
yeah BUT LOOKS dont pay if shit goes wrong and it looks as if a lot of things will go wrong here
PITY engine is shit@@josephsmith2063
@@jm7720 ...I would agree with you in that looks is not all, I was expecting an advise from a mechanic about this car, but since he entered the world of design I gave my favorable opinion about the Jeep Compass. I'm still waiting for the Consumer Report conclusions about this model, but I don't expect a positive opinion from them if we go by the rest of Jeep models.
Please do Bronco next!
you def get what you pay for with compass. In 2014, I got a Latitude and it sucked --- the check engine light came on all the time. In 2017, I got a fully-loaded Trailhawk and it was light years better, no real issues until around the 36th month, when the electrical system went out, but thankfully I had a 39 month lease and was still under warranty. Bottom line, Trailhawk is great but should be leased, not purchased for long-term ownership --- which I think is true of most cars today.
Please review of new 2024 WV Atlas
Do we even need to watch this video. Is there any Jeep product that is reliable? Serious question, not trolling.
They stopped making reliable Jeeps in 2001.

Can you share your thoughts on Audi q3
I bought one of these when they first came out in late 2006. I definitely had quality problems, I can tell they really haven't put Toyota level of effort into the quality of the vehicle still to this day. It's for the most part a disposable car, which Dodge is really good at.
with the fact that where i reside, you barely see a chrysler product on the roads anymore (they’re almost non existent category, but some suckers keep buying them) from 10 years ago, meanwhile japanese cars from late 80s and 90s are working to this day, it explains everythinh regarding the reputation these piles of garbage have
The new Jeep Compass that they introduced in 2018 is a thousand times better than the older models. I own 2 newer Compass's and love them!
My first car was a 1975 Dodge Dart (resembled Chevy Nova) with a Slant V6 bought from an old guy in Washington State in 1980. I enlisted in the Navy in 1978, A solid vehicle. Drove it from Wash. to Florida and then from Florida to New York. Never broke down or overheated. I had it for 2 years and gave it to my mother, I then got stationed in California and bought the new 1982 Ford Mustang GT 5.0. with T-Top. If given the chance, wished I still had the 75 Dodge Dart. People generally don't forget their 1st car, especially when it was a good one. 2nd was 82 Mustang GT, my 3rd car was an 1978 Alfa Romeo Veloce Spider convertible bought in 1983 and it was a lemon (Fuel Injection sucked) but when I had it running did okay. drove to Monterey Bay and Carmel-by-the-Sea. Also drove to Tucson, AZ. My 4th car was a Pontiac Grand LeMans. I've owned 17 vehicles in my lifetime so far. Jeep Compass is a bad vehicle ... just as terrible as any KIA.
@@zhila5958 They're not "garbage" per say, but there are better choices. As far as the Stellantis products go, the Rams are probably the best, followed by the Wranglers. Those still have some issues, but they're body on frame with real 4x4, not the chinsy crap on these "Jeeps" like you see in the video. I own a last generation Ram. Pretty happy with it, although it's not perfect. But neither are Fords or Chevys, and even the newer Tundras. I spent way less than I would have on some of those other makes. Only issues I've had on my 7 year old Ram is the parking brake and now the exhaust manifold bolts that are starting to loosen. Not the end of the world, but definitely annoying.

Should get thus card used ?
Always own mostly a Toyota or Honda, but looking to venture off with a Subaru outback or forester. Wishing a video about it on reliability.
This is why Jeep is always rated below avg for reliability every year in Consumer reports. The Compass has never been good nor recommended. I cannot believe this is almost a 40k SUV!
I wish you also did a driving review
What do you think about the 2023 Nissan Rogue?
I think these were built in the Belvidere assembly plant in Rockford, IL, which is now closed. But that's OK.
Hi, what happened to the next video of the restoration of the Lexus with 600000 miles? The video of detailing and cleaning....
I found an add on of these with a substantial cash back. The Limited trim 2021 after the cash back is around $32k which is way more than I thought. I mean there’s cars like the CX-5, ZR-V (HR-V in the US) and some of the nice RAV 4 trim are around that price. Who would want to choose this one over the CX-5 , the RAV 4 or the ZR-V?
This car is built to last 3 years/or 36,000 miles which ever comes first. This "jeep" makes me gratefully for the 11 year, 148,000 mile vehicle i own.
Yep. I have a 10 year 70,000 mile Hyundai. Still going.
I have purchased a ‘23 compass laditude with altitude package. It was great till my partner was driving it, he said the tranny sifted so hard that it made the tranny, engine, and auto stop/start codes pop up. This will be week 3 that the car is at the shop still.
Sry to hear that. Hope things get set straight
Mr Car care nut, you should do a review of a car that comes very close to a car you would have designed, that would be interesting to see what car you would have designed.
Maybe none😂.
Please Review 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid 👊🏼
