Although I upgraded for the Trailhawk edition, this jeep is everything you'd expect from a semi-rugged jeep - loud, slow, and basic. Although the technology that comes in the Renegades are great and fun with the beat by dre speakers and the detailing in the electronics - its hard to enjoy because the car rattles - even the dealerships I bought it from says the rattling and overall loudness of the car in idle and in motion is to be "expected when you own a jeep". If you do any traveling in which you need to get on and off the freeway or need to pass on the freeway - this is not your car. It is sluggish and sounds like it is going to explode when you are going over any hill/pass and need to go over 65mph. I have driven this car off-road and it handled good. Not as much clearance in dips and rocks... but it was enjoyable and fun off-roading. I have had this car 2 seasons in the snow and it handles really well. My biggest complaint is that in the 2 years I have owned this vehicle I have taken it in several times for service warnings... not routine maintenance. And every time it isn't just a day to find and fix the problem. Because I just have the basic warranty I will be trading this car in before my warranty is up. I do think it is important to point out that my husband is a jeep guy and we have owned several jeeps - this is the first jeep we have bought and been unsatisfied with. In addition this is the first jeep in which my husband can't change the oil at home because of all the undercarraige and scrape plate removal you have to take off to be able to just do the simple job. (FIAT changes?!)

All of the doors locked and my 4 year old was in the car!!!! The doors would not open. We had to bust the window to get him out. All the lights and blinkers would stop working while driving down the road randomly. The transmission does not switch in and out of gears properly causing you to have no go. It is scary on the highway not being able to get past 45 because the car wont go. I was told by the dealership it was all being caused by the computer. They reprogrammed. A week later my son is stuck in my vehicle. I could go on and on about all the transmission problems. The door locks was the final straw though!!

Fun for just driving around. Bought it brand new and had some electronic issues early on that come and go. This little Jeep gets pushed around in the snow pretty bad and does poorly in the dirt at best. Put biggest agressive tires I could and have the slight lift inclueded in the Trailhawk but doesn't really make a difference. I've owned Jeeps all my life. Minimal capabilities but my son loves it for cruising around town.

Bought this for daughter who will be on job sites in construction (the VW bug wasn't going to cut it). Best of all worlds for a young kid. Can and will climb the mountains. Can cross the river if needed (patriot and others fail). Trailhawk is only way to go. while she won't (hopefully) be doing the big off-road courses... hmmm i can't wait to do the off-road adventures. You must get with removeable top. Very in jeep mode. and the easter eggs are everywhere and deserved. This... is written by an Audi/Mercedes owner who is now seriously hunting real Jeeps.

Check around at different dealers and on line. Got great deal on line plus got the renegade in my color with the equipment I wanted $5,300 less at a dealer 150 miles away. Worth the drive through the country side. They were a pleasure to deal with, and we were in and out with in a couple of hours. Of course it helped knowing what I wanted.
