LOVE, LOVE my new 2016 Jeep Trailhawk!!
Picked up my new Colorado Red, 2 MySky sunroofs, Trailhawk a few days ago and LOVE IT! Typically, I'm a Ford lover, e.g. Escape and other models, but I absolutely HATE the way the new small SUVs look like station wagons (in my opinion). I wanted a vehicle that was a small SUV with big functionality, some nice add-ons, and more of the "box" look that my old Ford Escape had. The Trailhawk has multiple off-road options, which I may not use often enough, but wanted the capabilities anyway. I read some other reviews about lack of quick acceleration, and I haven't really noticed that problem at all. Although, I don't think I usually try to go 60 MPH within 5 seconds anyway. I love the technologies of UConnect, the ease of use of setting all the controls, the automatic windshield wipers (they're perfectly timed based on rain!), and strong, sturdy environment that surrounds me. This may sound weird...but I feel like I'm in an extremely, well-made, sturdy vehicle that is "stronger" than even my Ford Escape was. That "secure" feeling is very meaningful to me. The only thing that I wish..... that the MySky front option had the ability to open the opaque but leave a transparent window so that I could use the "top down" daylight in the winter months without cold coming in. I also wish the back seats were a little more "comfy" like the front seats but I rarely have people in the back seat anyway. I love the various key-less options, Display options, etc. I also have the blind spot alerts which I LOVE. There are so many things that are perfect, I can't write them all down. I went to Autoland dealer in NJ, and they were less than helpful trying to find my 2016 Red Trailhawk with the options I wanted. Yet, 1 day later, Salerno Duane in NJ found my exact match vehicle in a tri-state dealer and had it to me in 3 days. I used Salerno Duane previously so am thrilled with their willingness to help me. If you're looking for a unique SUV that is solid and well thought out, you'll love this new 2016 Renegade line of vehicles!! Debi S - New Jersey

Eh.
Rented on on a recent trip to HI. for 2 weeks. I liked the way it looked and it was very comfortable. Lots of interior room for the front seats. I did not sit in the back. Cargo area was small, but after all it is a small vehicle so i didn't expect it to be huge. Transmission was weak. It had these dead areas and hesitations when you accelerated. It did shitf smoothly during normal driving and when you didn't punch it. We had the larger of the 2 engines which wasn't enough. It accelerated okay but it was whimpy sounding. It zipped instead of roared. I like a big beefy motor with lots of power. My other 2 vehicles are v8's. If this had some muscle behind it or a stick shift it would be better. Gas mileage was good averaging in the mid 20's per gallon. That's good for me because my Chevy truck and Jeep WJ both get in the low teens. Ha ha. But this thing has a 10 gallon tank! Which means it seems like you go through more gas than you do, because you can't store much. Overall styling was great. We took it on the sand for a short trip and the 4x4 worked quite well. If i had air downed the tires , it would be very good. I like a lot about this vehicle but not enough to buy one at what they are selling for. Drop in a much larger 6 or small 8, clean up the shifting and lower the price. One could purchase a stripped down Wrangler for the price and do much better.

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?

BU TH review
This is a really capable compact suv. It can go most anywhere and do anything. I have had other Jeeps such as the JKU and KL TH and the Renegade holds up well compared to them. It does some things really well and some things not as well as the other Jeeps. The front seats are really comfortable. The infotainment is just OK and not as good as the 8.4 system in the KL. I would not spend the money again for Beats audio upgrade. Two features that there are no excuses for the lack of availability are power lift gate and Homelink. The sunroof needs a glass roof option but the MYSKY removable panels are nice. gas mileage is not what I hoped for considering the lack of real power in 2.4L engine. The 9spd works much better than in my KL TH. I have driven everything in this segment and it really a star compared to some of the others such as the HR-V, Encore, Soul etc. I would not let the fact that it is Italian made scare you this is a a real Jeep.
