I got a free loaner from my Jeep dealership because my 2016 Jeep Patriot manual transmission wasn't working right. Had 17,000 miles on the car when it went down. The air bag sensor had to be replaced as well. Patriot was fine before these issues. The dealer lent me a 2017 Renegade Trailhawk and I loved it. Anybody who'd buy the Patriot with freedom drive 2 is crazy because you could buy the Renegade Trailhawk for the same money and get much better fuel economy. and a thoroughly modern vehicle with blind spot detectors, back up cameras etc. Let me compare the 2 vehicles. HP : Renegade has 180hp, the Patriot has 172 HP. The seating in the Renegade is way more comfortable than the Patriot. It contours your body nicely and big tall people feel great in the bucket seats. Huge headroom like the Patriot. Back seats have the same legroom as the patriot. Cargo space is a little less than in the Patriot. You get a full size spare in the Renegade Trailhawk, Patriot has a smaller spare . Instrument panel is 10 x better in the Renegade and looks really really rugged looking . The radio has a nice rugged look , The Patriot radio is very ordinary. I liked the look of the Renegade radio, but the small screen made the backup camera picture hard to see .I wish Jeep incorporated all the new Renegade stuff into the Patriot . The Patriot looks like a real Jeep, the Renegade looks KIA Soul like. Acceleration is fantastic in the Trailhawk version , but I wish it came with manual transmission. It's higher off the ground than the Patriot and has a better ride. The Patriot had more storage space. I'd probably buy the Trailhawk if I had to decide again. I own land in upstate NY and visit during the winter. The Trailhawk would be great with it's superior off roading and excellent gas mileage . I thought about buying the Patriot with the freedom drive 2 , but the gas mileage was horrendous . The Renegade is the Patriot with freedom drive 2 and it gets much better gas mileage. It all has the blindspot detector. If a car comes into your blindspot, the mirror will light up with a yellow dot telling you a car is in your blindspot. I love that feature. The AC and climate control are excellent and it was freezing in the car on a hot 90 degree day. I wish my Patriot had all this new stuff. But I don't really like the look of the car. It's not bad. I paid $18500 for my 4x 4 Patriot, the Trailhawk is $24000 on True Car. Very reasonable for a fuel efficient vehicle that's 10 x better off roading than anything Toyota, Honda , Hyundai has.

I am pretty happy with the car. Nice looking exterior and very comfortable interior. For it's size it is roomier than you think but it is a very compact car. Entertainment system feels like an old system, no apple car play or Android auto. Uconnent is the worst. Engine is okay. Sounds and feels underpowered but after a couple long road trips and trips through sand it’s very adequate and comfortable. The transmission can be jerky and feels like it's always searching for gears. It is pretty quiet and drives smooth enough. Luckily, I haven't had any issues yet. UPDATE: There was recall for high oil consumption issues which was never an issue with my car specific. With this they updated the PCM and TCM (I believe). I’ve noticed smoother shifts since then.

Went to dealership requesting a Toyota, Honda or Nissan. Salesman asked that I test drive the 2017 Renegade Trailhawk. Did not want to like it......but I loved it. Nice height, comfortable front seating, easy navigation option and cute as ever. This is my first SUV and I love it!!!! Have never written a review before but this is news worthy!!

It's a nice baby Jeep, The Trailhawk is set up for off road driving so in city driving with bad road it's great. Just do rust to get it, shop around and make sure you get all the options you want. I test drove a few Trailhawks and the one I got didn't have a trail hitch with I didn't find out till I got home because I thought it had the trail package like all the others I test drove. Also didn't have the MySky which really makes it a cool car if you get it. I should had waited and checked things out better. But it is a cool car.
