From Budget Car Rental now I know why budget Car Rental keeps these on hand because they are truly budget. the one I'm driving is basically brand-new it has less than 18,000 miles on it the cruise control doesn't work I'm a pretty short guy and I hit my head every time I get in the car. The seats are uncomfortable it doesn't track well going down the road you constantly have to be on top of it. The performance is horrible the car I use for work would outperform this thing any day of the week and it's a Toyota Prius that's sad. but then again it is a domestic. after driving this thing for 75 miles I had to get out and stretch my legs it is just plain uncomfortable.

Get rid of Nav and Sat Radio

Car is cute and seems to be capable. Ride is ok but rough as compared to a car. Would really like to have had NOT to buy the $1200+ option for the large screen display and SatNav/Radio. A plain smartphone could replace and stay up to date more than a car's expensive option. Why is it so hard to find a loaded car minus the expensive option but poorly functioning Sat/Nav/Radio that your already paid on your smartphone?

I purchased my Jeep Renegade after totaling my Honda Civic, and while we test drove several suvs this one we fell in love with. It's sporty, functional, and for having a kid it works great for us. The dealership we purchased it from was very helpful and gave us a great price on it as well. So far I have only had one issue with the rear back door lock, but the dealership got it taken care of in a timely manner. Overall I love this vehicle and the look of it.

i should specify: WE DIDNT PURCHASE THIS CAR, BUT WE WERE ABOUT TO: WE RENTED IT AND CHANGED OUR MIND! /I rented this Car for a long work trip, so i ended up driving a 2016 Jeep Renegade Limited that was given to me with just over 5000miles on it, and in a month i drove 1800miles on it: i learned a lot of things about this Car, and changed our mind. /We own an old SUV that is a total Gas guzzler that barely gets 20mpg, and we need to switch to something that is more fuel efficient that will allow us to take trips without the headache of the Gas Cost, and the little Jeep Renegade seemed to be the perfect fit; too bad in the month i drove it, which i was mostly driving on highway, i was never able to get more than 27-28mpg. /Keep in mind that the 27-28mpg i obtained it by filling up with Premium Fuel, when i initially rented the Car, it was filled with Regular, and i barely seen a 25.1 because most of the times it was down in the 24mpg on the Highway, anyway i am OK using Premium, but for a Car this size: IT'S A GAS HOG! /People buying a Small SUV, are looking for something that can do at least 30+mpg on the Highway, and this Renegade doesn't even come close to it, which makes it harder to justify selling the bigger one we have already that gets about 20-21mpg and it's a waaay bigger than this Renegade. /It is very frustrating to know that in Europe as well as South America this nice Renegade is sold with several different Diesel Motor options, one of which features 170Hp and does well over 40mpg: WHY DOESN'T FCA BRING THEIR DIESEL IN U.S.??? /The Transmission may seem strange at the beginning, but as i was progressing in the Trip i had the chance to drive some long stretches of Highway with Speed Limits of 80 and 85mph, and that's when you realize that the Transmission actually works great: once you reach 80mph, it sets itself in 9th Gear and maintains it, and it gets a pretty good Gas mileage to be at that speed: traveling at 75mph-80mph on Cruise is when i reached 27mpg average, if you drop down to 70mph, the Car starts play shifting between 7th 8th and 9th Gear and the Gas mileage drops to mere 26mpg. /BUT IT MAKES SENSE: this Car is sold all over the world, and in many Countries the Speed Limits are around 80 to 90mph, so rather than making different versions for each country, FCA made a Gearbox that fits all... so for us here in the US, with the exception of a had full of States that understand modern Cars capabilities, we are forced to barely see the last 2 gears, for those unlucky ones that live in a State stuck in the ages of 65-70mph Speed Limits, you may as well consider your Car a 7 Speed, and not a 9, and with that, forget also about better Gas mileage. /But the Car itself looks great, the Interior is really beautiful, very well designed in every detail, and with the long trips i took, it turned out to be surprisingly comfortable and spacious. /TALKING ABOUT A BAD EPISODE: during a part of the Trip, i was working in an area where every day i had to drive 8 miles on a Gravel Road; while on the first day i was very slow in doing so, i soon gained confidence and that's when i started having issues with the Electronic Stability Control doing some weird things, like as i am driving on the straight and hitting a hole or multiple holes, the system engaged itself and steered the car while i was driving on the straight: it was kinda scary, so i attempted to disable the ESC, which is not quite a "Click and Play": when you press the "ESC OFF" button one time, the Display says it has disabled ONLY the "Traction Control", to disable the "Electronic Stability Control" you have to press and hold the "ESC OFF" button for about 5 seconds, and then the Display gives you a message saying "ESC OFF" and a Yellow Warning light appears on the dashboard. /GOOD TO GO...!!! NOT SO FAST, as i gained confidence with the Car and the gravel Road, i started enjoying the daily commute on the Gravel and so the Car started Drifting around some curves... it was really fun to do so, but then, one day, with surprise, even with the ESC OFF, as i was drifting and controlling a slide, all of a sudden the ESC self activated and steered the Car in the direction where i was Counter Steering, thus sending me in the opposite direction of the turn i was taking: THAT WAS SCARY! /The Rental place stated it could have been a side effect of the Vibrations from the Gravel Road, which may have confused the 'G sensor', so they suggested me to try one of the other driving modes and see if this bad behavior continues. /Unfortunately changing Mode didn't solve it, it only changed how quickly the system self activates and how it acts despite the fact the Display says that the ESC is OFF: one time as i was testing other driving modes, the Car almost threw me into a Ditch. I got furious with it. WHY CAN'T I TURN OFF THIS FEATURE, and why does the Display lie and say it is OFF when it is still ON??? - - - I AM NOT BUYING THIS GAS DRINKING DEATH TRAP!!!

I have driven large SUVs since 1998. All of my children are out of school except for a 15yr old. I really had no need for large anymore but I love driving an SUV. I blew the engine in my Dodge and I was looking for a replacement. The dealership gave me this Renegade to drive until I decided on something and I fell in love with it. The size of it (the visual) kind of threw me off for awhile but the performance won me over. It has just the right amount of gadgets, comfort, gas mileage and maneuverability that I wanted. I just went through winter with it and it did awesome in the snow. I have the cold start package on mine and LOVE it! The warm steering wheel...oh my heaven! One thing that bothered me is that it has a hard shift to 1st but it doesn't bother me much now that I know it is a normal trait. It is not a 4x4. I am a big outdoors person so I took it to where we off road with our lifted Jeep and I was quite impressed with the way it climbs and handles, absolutely fun on gravel roads. It is low so I have to watch for the deep ruts. If I were to buy again, I would go with a lift on it just because of my lifestyle. It hugs the road and just drives really well. All in all, it is fantastic. If I had to pick something out that I didn't like it would be that on long drives the arm rest and door arm rest are too far away from steering to provide any rest to the arms. My daughter plays multiple travel sports, softball being one of them and even though the cargo area is small, it still fits all of our tournament gear, chairs, tent, wagon, cooler and all.
