Jeep Compass
The smallest of all Jeeps, the Compass recently went in for a facelift. Its popularity is easily explained by the value of its equipment versus its total price. Buyers have several decisions to make, as it comes with 4x2 or 4x4 and a choice of either a 2.0L or a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine. The North Package is very popular in Quebec, as it makes the Compass more pleasant to drive in winter.
