My sincere advice: Get the manual 2wd. Seriously, this is the lightest, fastest, simplest, most reliable, & most fun-to-drive iteration of this vehicle. I know, you need awd to get thru rain and snow. No, actually you don't. Wake up and stop watching Subaru commercials. I saw 3 cars in the ditch during our snowstorm last Sat. & they were all awd/4wd vehicles. Are you a real off-roader? OK, then stop reading this and buy a Wrangler. For the other 99%, this car is just fine. Best of all, it was $23K msrp and with factory & dealer incentives I got it for $8K off. That's insane for a brand spankin new vehicle of this class! It's basically an Italian-built, hot hatch cleverly disguised as a boxy SUV. It's quiet at cruising spee, does well over 120 mph top speed, handles shockingly well, is very spacious for a subcompact SUV and the manual trans is a joy to use. I've had mine for 1 year and 23K miles. So far I've spent only $90 on maintenance (Qty of 3 oil changes at $6/filter via Ebay and 12 qts of synthetic oil for $3/qt at Farm & Fleet store). I just splurged and renewed my SXM subscription since the little Jeeplet is so cheap to operate. I've run only 89 octane gas and I average 27mpg mixed with over 34mpg on the hwy if I cruise at 65 mph. There's nothing not to love. Plus, my wife and kids really enjoy it too. Go buy one before all the manuals are gone.

Bought my Renegade new in 2017 & have 40K miles now w/not a single problem yet. Only work has been regular maint. Have done 7 oil changes, front brake pads & rotors at 35K ($100 for the kit at Rockauto), & new tires at 39K ($50 each at Simpletire.com). Still on orig clutch, which shifts wonderfully. The impressive Fiat 1.4T is the little motor that could. Smooth & efficient, yet snarkly & very lively when you put your foot down. Ample acceleration & passing power while averaging 26 mpg in mixed driving. If you've only tested this vehicle with the auto trans, you've missed out. The 6-spd manual model is a hidden delight.

Bought it because of size and price It has air, cruise and standard radio Having bought many vehicles since the 60s I expected the usual recalls etc. I havent had one with our 2017 Renegade Sport. We got the 2 wheel drive with manual 6 speed We average 35 mpg combined . In long relatively flat areas like Kansas , Florida I've gotten 40mpg .The only issue was a leaking air-conditioning hose. We travel quite a bit usually camping and the car fits us perfectly with enough cargo room for our equipment. The seats are comfortable enough for long drives without backaches or bottom getting numb. : ). As of 2/19/2021 We have over 46,000 miles on it .No issues with high oil consumption.

Almost 45,000 miles and now having to spend 2400.00 on repairs to a cracked fuel tank and other issues. Of the other 5 cars I have owned I have never spent this amount for any repairs. It is also known that this vehicle burns through oil quickly. I would not recommend this vehicle at all.
Don’t waste your money

The transmission on these cars is complete garbage, acceleration is non-existent, the clunky transmission is constantly jerking between gears, technology is completely obsolete compared to other 2017 base-level trims. Multiple trips to dealer to address transmission clunkiness and their excuse is always that these cars have an “adaptive transmission” that learns how you drive, so if you gun it to merge onto an interstate once, the car will assume you always drive that way. Good try, Jeep. The car looks cool, but performance is shoddy at best.
