Comparison Review

Convenience
The Jeep Compass requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Dodge Hornet, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Dodge Hornet is somewhat more expensive than the Jeep Compass.

Dimensions
Since the Dodge Hornet is much wider than the Jeep Compass, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Dodge Hornet, which is slightly longer than the Jeep Compass.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Dodge Hornet will do just as well as the Jeep Compass, since they have about the same towing capacity. When it comes to horsepower, the Dodge Hornet greatly out-muscles the Jeep Compass.

Powertrain
The Dodge Hornet has much lower torque than the Jeep Compass, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Dodge Hornet and the Jeep Compass.
