Based on the other reviews you would think this vehicle was sub par. I actually love it ! Takes about $15-$20 to fill where I live (KY) great on the road when I'm traveling back and forth about 45minutes away. I can get drive as fast 80-90mph and not even realize it that's how smooth it rides. I've not experienced any of the below issues. I'm 25 so no kids. I have 6'2 guy friend that fit comfortably in my backseat as well. And I have enough cargo storage for my hair and makeup kit and lighting. Overall great vehicle !

Small Gas Tank

I commute 45 minutes each way, have to fill up a lot - cheap to fill but the tank is so small, only about 13 gallons. Also, Jeep is not compatible with an Iphone so phones navigation and sounds don't work when connected. You can make calls with Uconnect but that's it. Have to turn bluetooth off to use phones navigation. No speak for text either.

Coming from a 2003 Honda Accord EX-L with close to 192k on the odometer, this car is fantastic! At first I was unsure if this was the right car for me because I was interested in some others and the styling was (and still is) odd, but since driving it for the past few months, it grew on me and very happy with it. With only 5 gears, I manage to get 26 miles per gallon combined (going 65 mph at 2500 rpm) which is 3 mpg's better considering that the engine displacement is the same at 2.4L, having the same amount of gears, having 4wd, and riding higher. The interior styling is a lot more pleasing to look at, steering is better, seat comfort is amazing. Yes, there is less room than my old car but that's OK because I like the smaller, more compact Jeep. It is not the greatest vehicle in the world, but for the price and options ($205 a month w/12000 miles a year, 4wd, free 1 year Sirius XM radio), it is a great value!

few problems with it

I rented this vehicle for 2 weeks due accident with main car. It isn't a bad vehicle to drive, has pick up on the highway, passed other vehicles with no problem. A little road noise, can feel some bumps on poor roads. Gas mileage isn't too bad, doesn't take much to fill up gas tank. Only problem I found was that it didn't have electrical seat mover. My mom kept hitting her legs on the handle mover under the seat-they stick out a little too far. Not sure I would buy one, but it wasn't bad to drive. Front seat was fine for a 5'7" person. My mom is 5' so back seat was fine for her, otherwise not sure how it would be for a taller person.

This is a tough, reliable small suv. Solidly built and I really like it after 5k miles....I am surprised it does not get better reviews by nitpicking experts
