TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2014 Jeep Compass finally finds true north, with a better automatic transmission and a few more fine details.

The 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander looks sporty, maneuvers easily, and is very space-efficient. All that's missing is the refined interior that the exterior suggests.

TCC Likes

More refined six-speed automatic
Affordability and value
Maneuverability

Nimble, responsive feel
Spacious, versatile layout
Clean, simple dash layout

TCC Dislikes

Poor gas mileage
Limited cargo space
Safety questions

CVT is sluggish on the highway
Drab interior
Noisy inside (although improved)
