2016 Jeep Renegade 75th Anniversary 4dr SUV 4WD (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
First off, my 4WD Renegade has an automatic and the 2.4L engine (the only way 4WD Renegades come), but those weren't listed by Edmunds as options for the 75th Anniversary edition for some reason. With that out of the way, I'll keep this concise: I enjoy my ride. No, the 'Gade isn't very powerful, but I wasn't expecting it to be, and that's something you should know whether or not you're … ok with after a test drive. I love the ride height, ride comfort, capability, and style/quirkiness that I got for the price. The two things I don't like have to do with the UConnect/Bluetooth system. Most importantly, when placing and/or receiving calls on Bluetooth, I can hear the other party very clearly, but they can barely hear me. If they can hear me, they tell me there is a profound background noise that goes above and beyond what one customarily expects over a Bluetooth system. It's especially bad at highway speeds. I'd strongly recommend any potential buyers to test out the Bluetooth phone system at highway speeds (e.g. 75 mph) before purchase. I didn't, and am now left with a problem that my dealer and Chrysler both seem highly ambivalent about fixing. The other UConnect issue, more minor, is that the system won't let me switch back and forth between USB and Bluetooth as an audio source unless I manually disconnect one of these sources. I've found a way around this, so it isn't that big of a deal. The horrible call quality, something I was not expecting when I purchased a brand new 2016 automobile, is the major issue. Otherwise, I'm happy with the purchase, and find the Jeepster suits me.
Bad Anniversary Present.

2016 Jeep Renegade 75th Anniversary 4dr SUV 4WD (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
Bought the 75th Anniversary Edition and while it is a sharp looking suv with some extra bells and whistles you’d be wise to spend your money elsewhere. Sunroof started malfunctioning within a year. It opens fine but only closes about a third of the way then opens again. Happened too many times so now don’t use it. Check engine light came on and was related to the thermostat but the car … operates normally but here is a KEY item. When the check engine light comes on, regardless of reason, the 4WD is disabled. Then magically the light went off...then back on..then back off. Then just today tried to open the hood to check out the new rattle in this fine Italian engine and the hood is stuck on one side. Not worth the money or the numerous issues. Too many other dependable options out there.

This vehicle looks small on the outside, but inside it is quite spacious. Very smooth ride, I feel extremely secure as I drive. Navigation is included!
