Let me get this out of the way first: if you want a Wrangler for the specific purpose of off roading...buy one. If you want a car with more comfort at the cost of some off roading ability...save your pennies and buy a Cherokee Trailhawk instead. My wife has one, and it is superior in every way to my Renegade with the exception of the price. Now, will the Renegade do very light off roading/two tracking? Yes. Is it really comparable to one of the bigger Jeeps? Not in my experience. With that being said, it's the best thing out there that is a daily driver that can leave the pavement for under 30 grand. The car is pretty nimble on the turns, but it's not particularly fast, nor is it particularly good on gas mileage. However, through inclement weather conditions (including Michigan snow) it handles quite nice, so I consider those an acceptable trade off. The front seats are roomy enough for two big guys, but don't plan on putting anyone in the backseat. Overall, this little Jeep is definitely worth a look, and frankly any negative about it can be said for every other mini crossover in the segment (small back seat, lack of cargo space, small engine etc). If you are an outdoors type on a budget the Renegade just might be your next car.

After owning a Subaru wagon for many years, we want to get something different and with more style. Subaru is just SO boring! Another thing is, we don't want a CVT. We love the Renegade for the following reasons: 1. The styling - It's flat out posh! It's very well put together and it has a lot of thoughtful touches throughout. 2. Comfort Level - This has one of the widest cabins and the leather seats are very comfortable. The suspension is very good and manages to dampen all the potholes we have in the Northeast. 3. Convenience Features - it has all the bells and whistles without the premium price. UConnect is great and I love the bluetooth setup and backup camera.

From H2 to Trail Hawk

First off don't judge the size of this Jeep by the outside. When my wife and I first got on the Jeep lot, we both looked at each other and said that's too small! But once inside this thing is a roomy beast. Lots of leg and head room for those both tall and wide, seats are amazing and grab you comfortably. The ride is smooth with minimal body roll on the corners. It is a 4-cylinder so don't expect v-8 thrust but paired with the 9-speed auto transmission it does its duty. We had been searching for something to replace our aging Hummer H2 that was not another cookie cutter cute ute or some boring suv from the import giants that are more like cars. Also a consideration was price and off-road capability, the Renegade was right on point and addressed all of these in the Trail Hawk edition for us. Since bringing ours home, we have averaged 30 mpg and coming from the 6 liter H2 was a breath of fresh air on the wallet! The technology is also great with 2 USB ports, 2 LCD screens, a true 120v home outlet, Bluetooth, backup camera and oh yes a full-size spare with matching wheel! Yup wheel and all! The little Easter eggs are cool but get a bit cheesy like Ciao Baby! Spider by the gas filler. We have not taken it truly off roading yet but it did handle some good deep water during the flooding we had in SW Missouri recently. The off-road dial is very easy to use and intuitive and with the Trail Hawk you can go into 4wd low and lock the differential that is nice to have. I did not get the removable roof panels as I really don't use removable tops or moonroofs anyway, just another water failing point. If you are looking for a small good looking capable SUV that's fun to drive then this is for you! If you like white walls and vanilla ice cream, then look to the same old boring ute's like CRV, Rouge, Soul, etc. all of which will look very nice stuck in the mud...LOL!

Best vehicle I've ever owned!!

I'm LOVING my Jeep Renegade! I bought a yellow Trailhawk and it's been so much fun to drive! It's super comfortable, I've had no problems connecting my iPhone and am able to easily make phone calls via bluetooth. I'm really enjoying how smooth the ride is and how quiet things are. I can barely hear any road noise. The hill assist is fantastic, as I sometimes get stuck at a red light on a very steep hill. I never roll back now. There's plenty of head room, which is nice because my husband is tall. I'm getting the same quality gas mileage as my 2013 Rav 4 I had before my Renegade, which I'm happy with. I have not had a single electrical malfunction or engine problem (knock on wood!). I really don't have any bad things to say about it. I'm very picky when it comes to vehicles and I seriously haven't been able to come up with one yet about the Renegade Trailhawk.

Best "Domestic" Cross-over available.

I never owned a domestic vehicle and never thought I would either, until I saw the Renegade. I took a test ride and that's all it took for me. For reference, I owned 2 Honda, 1 Toyota, and 1 VW in the past 11 years and they were all brand new. I was looking for a AWD/4x4 vehicle for the nasty winter commute here in the Northeast and occasional camping trips. My shopping criteria was a short list: Good fuel mileage and some mild off-road capability. Only a handful of small SUV fit the bill. My choices were between Subaru XV Crosstrek and Jeep Renegade. I am not going to write much about the Subaru but all I am going to say is... under-powered and lack of details, compared to the Renegade. Interior- Unlike most domestic vehicles, there a lot of details in the interior design, such as illuminated cup holders and center console. No squeaky panels, no saggy seat cushions, no one-piece dash or one-piece door panel. Seats are as comfortable and supportive as my 2008 Passat. Forward visibility is great, similar to driving a Cube/ Soul. Road noise is minimal considering it as a SUV. The instrument panel with built-in LCD screen is very informative with intuitive lay out. I was able to get used to in within minutes of driving it. Infotainment system with touch screen is very intuitive and easy to navigate while driving. I love how the car can stream music from my phone via Bluetooth without touching my phone. Sound quality is also impressive considering it is just standard equipment on a "entry level" vehicle. Exterior- Paint quality is good. On-par with all my previous vehicles. Plenty of design details. I love the overall design of the vehicle. Engine- Relatively quiet for a "domestic" vehicle; it roars quite a bit under hard acceleration, in a good way. I know, it's an Italian Fiat Multiair engine! Plenty of power to pass other vehicles on the interstate. Transmission is probably the biggest let-down of the vehicle. There is a noticeable lag and hesitation in gear change under "spirited" acceleration, however, it's smooth enough and tolerable. Performance- Agile would be the best word to describe its performance. Steering is accurate and nicely weighed although lacks feedbacks of a sport sedan or luxury crossover. Body-roll under spirited driving is well controlled... especially considering it's a JEEP! I have not yet driven in snow yet. However, I drove it off the dealership lot in pouring rain. I got the chance to push it a little bit through some back roads in heavy rain. Not once I felt the traction control or ABS kicked in, and the vehicle didn't slide during sharp turns. Body panels did not make any rattling noise on rough road surfaces. Fuel economy- In the past 300 miles, I was able to achieve 27 miles average. I was getting 30mpg on the interstate around 65mph. I would expect gas mileage slightly improve as the engine breaks in. Not as good as the Subaru but the Renegade does have 40 extra HP and 400cc bigger engine. Overall- I am very impressed with how Jeep come out with such a great product. It's a perfect blend of ruggedness, performance, comfort, and style. Let's face it, we all want a Wrangler at some point in life but can't justify the fuel efficiency, comfort, or practicality for everyday commute. And Jeep finally gave us a perfect compromise. Trade-in value and reliability are the only 2 concerns I have at this point and only time will tell.
