Very Happy with my new Trailhawk

I only purchased this vehicle five days ago, and have already put a 1,000 miles on it. I bought it for commuting to work, and wanted the 4x4 option for winter weather road conditions. So far, it has more than exceeded my expectations. It has more than enough power for our 80MPH interstates, and plenty of headroom. I'm 6'4" and even with the "my sky roof" option I have plenty of headroom. That's not always the case. The touch screen is very easy to operate while driving, blue tooth, stereo, everything seems to work as advertised. No complaints. Granted, it's just been five days, but so far so good.

Fun, Fun, Fun

The Renegade is perfect for someone who does not have a large family, does not need a truck but wants to sit up with the rest of the crowd in these days when owning a regular car makes you feel blinded by all the larger vehicles around you. It also is very sporty looking and has a roomy interior for its size. It is affordable and in its class I do not think there is anything better for the price.

A good vehicle I think but it does have road noise

Very fun to drive a little short on passenger room, the gas mileage is pretty good. The fact that it is a 4 cylinder has me concerned for the long term life of the car.

Decent 4x4 but needs a lot more power

Very good 4x4 and is the only compact suv in USA that can be had with a 6-speed MT. Other than some nitpicks like the 4wd lock button that accidentally gets pressed all of the time, the main drawback is the tremseboya lack of horsepower and torque at low RPM. This car could greatly benefit with another 30 horsepower. Low power and torque at low RPM means bad fuel economy since you always have to be shifting and revving to get any power from the tiny turbo engine.

Love My Renegade

I am more than pleased with everything about this vehicle from handling, power, comfort, and looks! My best experience ever at Prestige Dealership as well! I will definitely buy Jeep in future, but I plan on keeping this Renegade fir its lifetime.

So excited for my new purchase

Have owned this car for less than a week, but so far it has been a blast. So many compliments on the look- drives great for a 4wd vehicle. Mpg is coming in around 24 for mountain and city driving. Very happy with my choice.

Pleasant Surprise

For a small suv the inside is very roomy . The fit and finish is very high quality probably due to the high tech robotic factory in Italy. We have the limited edition 4x4 with nearly every option. . I was surprised at how well this vehicle corners and how tight the steering is .Feels like a sports car not an Suv . The 180 hp tigers shark engine and 9 speed transmission has good acceleration and the 4 wheel drive has worked quite well in our Ohio snow Controls are very easy to find and use .The UCONNECT touch screen is the easiest I have used . All in all I think we picked a winner so far . Time will tell but the vehicle is well made and gives me a confident comfortable feeling when I am driving it . We negotiated a price of 26k and change for a vehicle with nearly every option u can get on a new limited model .
