TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2013 Jeep Compass is affordable and makes good practical sense—but its disappointing interior appointments and lack of refinement limit its appeal.

The 2013 Nissan Juke is road candy, from its zippy powertrain to its wacky looks--but tight space and low real-world gas mileage leave an aftertaste.

TCC Likes

Multi-purpose feature set
Affordable price
Practicality

Styling that parts the seas
Tech-intensive turbo four's a blast

TCC Dislikes

Coarse, buzzy engines
Sluggish CVT performance
Not much cargo space

Gas mileage is low, for its size
Small cargo area
All-wheel-drive is mostly for show, not traction
