You can't deny - this is a Fiat

I am looking for fun-to-drive MT car. And Renegade is a Jeep and has MT with 1.4T, should be fun. Unfortunately, I didn't take it to snowy road or off road to tell if there is fun in this Renegade. But on regular road it is pretty slow moving vehicle but comfortable at that. Italians know how to dress and this Jeep is example of that. The cabin is one of the nicest I've seen in many low-trim cars. Buttons and switches are excellent. It just a slow car. Then there is maintenance schedule. Bi-annual brake fluid flushes. Timing belt (150K). And premium gas is recommended (read required). On top, this Jeep made of Fiat parts and neither has been know for reliable cars.

It's so fancy!

I love it so far! I love the look and the color (mine's neon green)! It has everything I wanted in a new car and more. Backup camera, remote start, roomy interior, media hub, etc. I'm still not completely used to it. It seemed like my previous car had more 'get up and go' when I stepped on the gas, but that's not necessarily a negative, just something I'm not used to yet. I do not like that it does not have a CD player. I wanted the media hub and I obviously love it and use it everyday, but it's just super weird that I don't even have he option to play a cd if I want. Now I have to put a bunch of music on my phone if I don't want to listen a radio station. But overall I love my jeep!

Size of car I was looking for.

I have owned several new cars/trucks/campers and was looking for a variety of things that I had experienced in the past. I was looking for a small car without lots of digitals such as digital heating,. This vehicle had most of the features I was shopping for.

Cost a lot for tons of plastic

The vehicle looks nice on the outside, but on the inside it is nothing but plastic. It rides smooth but I have been told by several mechanics that as the vehicle gets old the front of the vehicle has to have lots of suspension parts replaced.

A really smooth ride with a lot of cool features!

I love everything about this vehicle! It has a very nice screen, with a back-up camera, comfortable seats, and a lot of room in the vehicle. It is pretty good on gas for being a Jeep and the exterior is beautiful!

Good on gas

It is very good on gas and the exterior is very nice. The interior is a bit crowded when you get a few people in it and I didn't like how the back didn't have a decent place for drinks. Overall we are happy with the purchase.

Great compact sized SUV.

I love it so far, great value and a great size for a more compact sized SUV. I previously owned a Ford Escape and I think this Jeep is way better in almost every way despite being a tad smaller and more compact. It's up to date with everything I need and I haven't had a single complaint so far, pretty good gas mileage on the highway also.
