Jeep Compass

More Jeep-like than Jeep-tough, this car-based crossover is built to conquer the Krispy Kreme drive-thru even when faced by speed bumps, light snow or—with available all-wheel drive—both. Base models get a 158-hp 2.0-liter four standard with a five-speed manual and optional six-speed auto; a 172-hp 2.4-liter and six-speed auto are available. Hardly a beauty, the Compass is roomy and useful within its modest limitations. It’s also uninteresting to drive, so it’s easy to trade in at lease’s end.
