2016 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful
I have almost 60,000 miles on my Trailhawk renegade bought it at the end of 2015 as a 2016 model. I have been everywhere throughout the west from the Oregon cascades to death valley, big sur to Monument valley and just about every trail I could find in between. My renegade trailhawk hasn't let me down, gotten me stuck or left me stranded. Ive had to drive through more than one hair raising snowstorm in Oregon and Utah. I have so much confidance in my jeep that I dont even stop to think about whatever weather or road conditions I am going to be facing. Bonus for anybody who buys this jeep is the extreme amount of accessories you can add to this vehicle. Everything from lift kits, extra skid plates, lights and just all kinds of stuff its crazy. I have only one complaint about my jeep and that is the lateshifting transmission which sometimes bothers me but normally its fine and I have gotten totally used to it, This has been fixed with the newer models apparently. If you are like me and you want a decent offroader for weekend expeditions but you spend most of your time driving on roads in cities I wholeheartedly recommend this vehicle!

My renegade is 3 months old and has been in shop for at least 3 weeks. No one can fix it. They have put on motor mounts, transmission and door panel. Still doesn't shift and my electric parking brake had to be disabled in the first week for locking up on the interstate . Once again stay away it's a fiat that no one can work on.

I always bought a 6 cyl sedan and once a turbo 4. The performance of this engine took some getting used to but I have learned how to drive it to my liking. One thing is floor it, and when it drops into passing gear I let off the gas pedal 1/2 the way. The car seems to perform best that way when I want a burst of speed. It's fun to drive around town. Has good take off, and good breaks. Road trips are not as enjoyable (driving) as the sedan's I've had due to lack of power. My cars are always above 250 hp. But I'm only on the freeway about 4 times a year for trips over 2 hrs. Steering is pretty good, definitely not the worse I've had. Gas millage is not as good as I expected but, as I said, I've had 6 cylinders and around town Jeep is better than the sixes. On the road maybe same or possibly worse. My Accord with a 6 cyl could do as well as 38 mpg if I milked it but it had cylinder deactivation. I miss Android Auto and feel the UConnect Nav is slow at start up. My FWD Jeep has all the tech bells and whistles (lane sense plus, fwd collision plus, rain sensing wipers (I love those), park assist Beats Audio and climate control. Beets needed a dealer software update before it sounded worth the money. Now it sounds great. I've had no other problems. Everything works though I may decide to turn some off now that I've experienced it for a month. I am definitely not unhappy with my Jeep. One other thing, This car has written power train break in instructions. I followed the break in directions to the letter and I don't experience the tranny or engine problems others claim. I had to be neutral in a lot of my ratings since I've only owned for one month. 04/2018 Car has faithfully started. Never had a problem. It's a subcompact, so the ride is a little bouncy or nimble. It's a fun car to run around the city in. It's easy to park. As I get older, I will exchange it for something that rides the road smoother, a cushy cruiser. But it's a fun car to own. City acceleration is good. I would buy it again. Ohhhh - It has a high content of Made in America like the engine and transmission as well as parts. I looked at a GM car and 80% was made in China!!! It has American amenities like lighted window buttons. A Toyota I once had didn't. I missed them a lot in that Toyota. I've owned two Asian cars, Kia and Toyota. Never again!!!

2016 Jeep Renegade 75th Anniversary 4dr SUV (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

I've had my 2016 75th FWD Jungle Green Renegade for a month and I can say I love it. Steering is precise, brakes are highly responsive and the ride is more comfortable than expected. Though I didn't think I would like the My Sky Dual Sunroof, I love it and would definitely recommend it. For those that complain about the 2.4 Tigershark engine, If your expecting a V6 performance then this vehicle is not for you. The engine is not as refined true but it's a mute point for regular drivers since you can't truly tell the difference other than the delay of the transmission when split second power is needed. I do like the transmission though you do need to step on the gas a little harder for it to upshift for quick passing maneuvers, so unless your an agressive driver it won't bother you. They styling I think is perfect and I'm amazed that now I can park anywhere since it's so compact but it doesn't feel that way when you're inside. My only complaint is the Beats audio, it seems all audio comes from the front dash speakers and subwoofer is pathetic. Jeep shouldn't have let Beats audio into the vehicle, I've tested a 2015 and that premium audio is way better. Overall Jeep has done a good job and I hope they start offering the Jungle Green color for all trims because if they did I would have purchased the Trailhawk.

So far I love the way the vehicle looks and drives for the most part. The ride is a bit rough, but when buying the trailhawk version I knew that would be the case. The gas mileage not bad Highway is 25-26 city is 18-20. The vehicle gets me where I need to go on the highway and takes me off the road well as well.
