2016 Jeep Renegade consumer reviews

2016 Trailhawk, bought new. The test drive was great. The brakes are tight, and stop you when you want to stop. It handles so well, you can steer it with two fingers. During snow storms, I make my own lane. This thing has yet to get stuck. I recently started Ubering, and its very comfortable for hours of driving. It doesn't speed up as fast from stop, but once it gets going, it buzzes all over the place (I named mine Buzby). Once in awhile I notice the transmission over or under shifts, mostly on steep roads. Overall this Jeep is VERY fun to drive. Had a few software glitches, nothing an update couldn't fix. So far, the only parts replaced have been the radiator fan (defective sensor) and the ignition coil (warranty), as well as a headlight and license plate bulb. Average MPG is 19, but I do a lot of city driving. The interior is roomy, with a good amount of plug holes (one usb and 12v socket on the console, a usb inside the center console, a 12v outlet in the back of the center console, and a 12v socket in the rear bay). I have the moon roof option with electric sunroof. It was difficult to find a place to put my phone mount. A lot of the interior is textured, so suction mounts may be an issue. I've taken it on long vacations, and never worry it's going to break down. It's a really solid quality vehicle. Almost 35,000 miles, and I've loved every minute of it.

Car is phenomenal! Best car I’ve ever owned! It’s beautiful and drives well! Thank you to everyone at Chapman! We love everything about this vehicle

I like this little Jeep. Its built tough so Im not worrying about scuffing the plastic. I own the TrailHawk model and it crawls around ok in the desert. The only con: This car cant get out of its own way. It has 9 gears and it always picks the wrong one! You just have to punch it. Its got plenty of torque at the top end.

Great four cylinder for around town. Also 4x4 helps you rest assured on those muddy back roads. I decided on this car for my child’s first car..(lucky guy).

Has not been a bad 2nd car. Fun to drive with the 6 sp. Manual. Small basic, but effective for my wife's commuter use. 4x4 great, and Gas mileage very acceptable, at about 32 mpg average. Recall is needed on Oil change reset. Has never worked. Dealer asked me to pay them to reset it. Been changing my own oil for 50 years. Refuse to pay them.

I like this car a lot! A few minor things but they were covered under warranty. Such as a whistling noise coming through window. But dealership fixed!

A great car for climbing mountains on the weekend and commuting to work throughout the week. Only complaint is limited legroom in the back seat.

We test drove this model in manual today and were surprised. It handles well, blocks out road noise, has some weight to stay on the road, radio is nice, looks small on the outside but inside has space. Very impressed with it driving.

Just picked up my 2016 Renegade Limited and I love it! I had a Liberty before then traded that in for a Subaru Impreza. That did break my heart. The Subaru was good but I felt way to close to the ground, felt every bump. That's another review. So first off this Jeep feels so strong and sturdy surprised because it's an entry model. I love the interior, the heated steering wheel, seats, the stereo is awesome! The power retractable sunroof is pretty cool too. I'm just so happy I went with this vehicle. I hope it will last me a long time with all these computer upgrades...it does make me nervous. It's very classy in it's class, I love it! ?

I needed a vehicle for winter time as I live in Wisconsin and did not want to drive my built WRX in the snow and ice so I purchased the trailhawk edition of the renegade. Mine has the removable roof panels and upgraded audio. I love the heated seats and steering wheel, especially when they turn on automatically when you activate the remote start function if it?s too cold outside. The ONLY gripe I have about mine is that I?m not 100% hyped on the orange paint.
