Very surprised! Like a Miniature Wrangler

Handles great, acceleration is good, not a rocket but good. Not bad for a 4 banger. It feels tightly built, but comfortable and handles like a Wrangler 2 door somewhat. Lots of nice creature features. I love my little Renegade! It actually looks "beefy" next to my wifes patriot.

Update- I have had my Renegade for 2 years now, and continues to be AMAZING! LOVE this tank! I found myself suddenly looking for a new car when my 2004 Jeep Liberty was damaged beyond repair in a bad storm! I had not looked at Jeeps in 14 years, and started stressing out about buying a new car! I started test driving different models at my Jeep dealership, and really got excited when I drove the Renegade! This car was so much fun to drive! I decided to buy this model, and I am so glad I did! Everyday is a pleasure in this car! I love everything about it! The details are everywhere! Love the heavy solid feeling of the car, leather wrapped steering wheel (which is smaller than most steering wheels giving it a racecar feeling!), the technology is up to date with rear cameras, UConnect system, keyless entry, information screen, and since I have the 4WD, I can tell when the wheels slow down on steep inclines, and automatically adjust when the weather suddenly turns bad! The wheels auto adjust from front wheel drive on dry flat roads, to 4WD in heavy rain or snow! I am grateful for so many features that help me stay safe, and I enjoy the rugged look of the car design! I can tell the designers had fun with this car, as there are fun things to discover like the keyless starter button says "Here`s to new adventures" on the outside, there is a Sasquatch tiny decal on the rear window, and a Jeep Willy climbing a rock on the front window! I appreciate the Jeep Wrangler/Willy reference in the rear tail light design, too! Some of the other features I love are the large windshield wipers that clear the whole window in front, the sun visors also can be flipped to the side not just in front, and the car sits you up high like my Liberty did, improving the view in front! The Renegade has so many great features and is such a great driving experience, I feel so fortunate to have this car!!!! I truly cannot find a downside to owning this fabulous car!! Update- after owning this car for a year and a half, it is still fabulous and sooooooo much fun to drive! Highly recommend!

We bought the car new 6 months ago. It has spent 2 months in the shop. It had less than 10,000 miles when it broken down on a road trip 3 times. Got it home and it is still in the shop.

This crossover serves us well on and off the road. High-quality materials inside and out, and a nice handling/driving feel!

Worst jeep ever!!!

I have a 2015 jeep renegade limited sport 2.4 liter...bought the vehicle with 24 miles on it. Right off the showroom floor. In December of 2016. Never even have taking it out of state. Engine in it has a cracked block, have had it in and out of the shop since October 2017. When we noticed it started consuming oil. Not leaking mind you...they are unreliable and with just under 30k miles on it, manufacturers and dealership are not wanting to buy it back, but just put another motor in it. Which mind you no telling what damage that a blown motor has done to the transmission and other components. Please do not purchase this jeep...
