Jeep compass

Me and the wife are looking at getting a new family vehicle we have a mercury mountaineer now and it has started giving us problems so its time to move on before its a money pit. I want to keep it mopar. We want a suv 4x4 but not huge we like the journeys but iv read alot of bad reviews about them. So we started looking at the jeeps im almost sold on the compass its compact but has roomy interior 4cyl with available manual transmission (I love manual transmissions) its affordable brand new less than 25k and for 4x4 really good gas mileage 30mpg highway. Anyone have one ? Anyone have problems with them? Thanks for your feedback
