The 2007 Jeep Compass' seats are firm but supportive, though a squeeze of the insubstantial lower side bolsters quickly reveals the hard backing underneath. Lower cushions are short and flat, with the backrests only a smidge better thanks to slightly improved bolsters. Plastic-wrapped open-loop headrests serve a purpose but are lacking in the comfort department, as is the center armrest that slides forward for a custom fit but is decorated in -- you guessed it -- hard plastic. That same material is used on the door sills and armrests, though the former are low and wide enough for resting forearms. Drivers will appreciate the tilt steering wheel and height-adjustable seat.
