TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2015 Jeep Compass is now as good as it's going to get, a competent small crossover with few surprises.

The 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport isn't as refined inside as it looks from its exterior, but it maneuvers well and offers a surprising amount of functional space.

TCC Likes

More refined six-speed automatic
Affordability and value

Nimble, responsive feel

TCC Dislikes

Poor gas mileage
Limited cargo space
