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 Nissan Juke is part rambunctious rally-racer and part defiantly different crossover—and it adds up to a vehicle that you'll have some strong feelings about, one way or the other.
