    We got one 3 years ago, great little car. Amazing in the snow, in NH right now. But check your fluids frequently! Ours had a flaw from the factory and leaked fluids. 38,000 miles and needs a new engine. Found many owner reviews talking about fluids too. Didn't like it at first but it really grew on me. Check your coolant, and oil levels at times. Hope you enjoy your first car!

    If you're someone who drives on the highway a lot and want someone truly compact, this is the perfect car. I have the 2018 model of this and I love the features on this car, the any blind spots are very small due to the trim. The drive is crazy smooth, you can go 0 to 40 with a toe. Maintenance is slightly more pricey because you have to take it to a Jeep dealership, but it can last very long, I haven't had any broken parts yet. The back up camera works very great at night, instead of night vision, it's bright light. The Bluetooth connects very well to several devices, has great speakers. Air bags are basically everywhere. Tire changes are cheap for model. Push to start, push the button to ONLY turn on the battery, foot on gas then push the button to start. If the trunk doesn't lock, it's because it has a safety feature to not lock the keys in the trunk, like many of us have done 😣. Unlock the car then close, this will let it know that you have the keys.

    Hey Joe, thanks for doing a review on the Renegade. Hopefully you can do a review on a High trim level preferably one that has the removable roof. Overall I like the Renegade, the only compation in my option it has is the Kia Soul. But where Jeep wins is that the Renegade has 4 WD and the Uconnect comes standard with apple CarPlay and Android audio like you mentions. Now Kia with there redesign you have to purchase the higher trim level to get those options. If there is 1 issue I have with the Renegade is that it's manufacture over seas from the Fiat chassis so having it imported takes longer which is why you don't see many on the roads today.

    I have a 2018 Sport with the 1.4l turbo and 6-speed manual and I really enjoy it. It's a fun vehicle to drive. I have driven a lowered 2007 Honda Fit Sport 5-speed manual since 2006 and the Renegade is as fun as it is to drive but I don't have to worry about scraping everywhere I go. Backroads are fun again. And as a plus, I can drive to the top of my property and not have to worry about getting stuck, goes good off-road, but I wouldn't be doing anything crazy, think more rally car than Jeep.

    I have a 2015 trailhawk model. So far so good no problems. They replaced the radiator fan for free due to recall. I have the same engine. I bought an madnessautoworks pedal to help with acceleration slowness. This Jeep is excellent when going to Sams club and Walmart as well as feed store 50 pound wild bird seed bags. I do all those errands in one visit and this Jeep excels in cargo space. Best of all it’s so easy to park and maneuver. I’m hooked on compact SUVs now. I been looking to trade it in for something more “reliable” like a Toyota but that company has nothing in their lineup to match this renegade. I test drove a Prius. I like it but insurance is gonna be more a month. And it’s even slower than this renegade. I pass on the Prius for now. If this Jeep breaks down I’m just gonna pay them to fix it. But so far nothing has gone wrong.

    I have a 2015 Renegade Latitude 4x4. I don't drive a ton of miles, but have had nearly zero issues. I had to replace the thermostat. Seems like it is one of those crap parts everyone ends up replacing. I'm not a Jeep fanatic- never owned one before and don't care much about brands. I'll say this- if you need a subcompact sized vehicle with 4x4, this one is great. I test drove nearly everything. Mazdas, Sportage/Sorrento, Escape (and even Edge but that's not really apples to apples), etc. For the price point and what you get, this one beat them all. Kia models feel crazy cheap inside- the Jeep feels sturdy. Mazda is more "sporty" fun to drive, but very low ride view and I hope no one who gets in is over 5'6". Escape was ok, but once I put 4x4 and one or two features in it I was in the $30s. Last thing- you mentioned Eastern WA. I had to wait for them to re-open the highway around Pendleton during a snowstorm one night. Semis and cars sidelined everywhere with about 6-8" on the ground and still falling. I went 50mph the entire 3hr drive through the mountain passes and such back to Idaho....not a single slip. This thing has been great for me. I can load plenty of gear, it offers smooth town driving, and I can still park it anywhere. Good choice for a subcompact SUV. Financial recommendation- Altitude trim is most bang for your buck. Or if you are thinking about adding all the packages to a latitude, just buy a base model limited trim.

    I'm considering a Renegade and looking at all the packages they offer with each model. One concern for me is whether there is a/c in the back. My 1984 Cherokee Chief and my 1994 Cherokee Country both had rear air that was vented at the lower console - it was really useless and both models were terrible to drive in the blazing heat. With all the glass, they simply would not cool! Considering a new model now I want something that will cool in the back, as I have a toddler who will ride in a car seat another 3-4 years. I wish manufacturers would consider kid-friendly features in these compacts - let's see some of the rear a/c features! Thanks.

The gas mileage is great and I only need an oil change like every 8,000 miles and it is so much fun to customize and make her stand out for me just how a jeep should be!!!💖 #jeeplove

    The owner's manual says to change oil between 3K to 5K miles because the variable valve timing system is unusually oil-actuated, and it requires very clean oil to operate reliably over a long period of time. Otherwise, the engine will die by 70K miles, where it normally should last close to 200K miles.

I really like the vehicle and surprised by the negative Fiat comments lol. I had one strange problem with my Fiat 500 that got fixed but no out of pocket costs in my 6 years of ownership outside of maintaince. But I guess your YMMV.

    I was in love with this car before I bought it but I wish I could trade it in for something bigger. Make sure to get a 4 wheel drive because a jeep without 4 wheel drive is pointless. I live in a rural area and I was surprised how wimpy it is. I was stuck in my yard the first day without 4 wheel drive. I wouldn't buy it again. The passenger side barely has room for legs (my husband is only 5'11 and it is very uncomfortable for him). There is also not really a place to set your right arm. It just hangs there because the arm rest is way too low. The shape of the car completely blocks the blind spot.

    We've owned our 2018 Renegade now for just over 2 years and it's been a great little addition to our household we also went with the Latitude trim but we got 18" wheels, passive entry along with the 8.4 inch Uconnect which is awesome and simple to use we average 25mpg city and on the Freeway we usually get around 29mpg on average. We haven't had one issue with ours whatsoever in the 25k we've driven it.. Granted it could use a little more power but once you become accustomed to the way it drives you adapt your driving style and live with it... Another complaint I keep hearing about is the price..... Come on People !!!! MSRP was $28,950 for ours we paid 18,900 OTD so deals can be made... Those who complain that it is Italian and made by Fiat yes it is but the 2.4l engine is made in the US it just uses Fiat's Multi Air technology the transmission is made in the US as well and is a ZF unit built under license by FCA. We love our Jeep Renegade and I've been a Dodge/Chrysler/Ram owner since 1984 when I bought my first Mopar and I've never had a bad one period... Maintenance is the key to any car period if you fail to maintain your cars it will fail you... Somewhat solid review Raiti but the Renegade 2.4 only makes 180hp and the max it makes is 184hp in the Cherokee because of better flowing exhaust manifold. That Latitude had only 1 option on it was the power drivers seat. A simple view of Jeeps website will show you their are tons of options available for the Renegade. Plus the competition has no answer for the Renegade Trailhawk which puts it in another class on its off road prowess...

    Renegade design has potential. Has a great initial look to it. I just can't support the gutless powerplant. The top of the line trim on these (Trailhawk/High Altitude) is a dinky 1.3L turbo with 177hp 😖. For entry level, fine, but for their best offering, that's what we should expect from the 90's era, not 2020. If they gave the Renegade a proper punch (somewhere above 250hp) with traction going to all 4 corners, upgraded the interior, this could have been a great little option to get into a fun compact Jeep.

    A lot of people who have never driven or owned this car hate it because of the ownership by Fiat (who also own Ferrari). That doesn’t make it a POS. The car looked at objectively seems fine but nothing exceptional. At this price point that would have been ok in the past but the competition is so hot now. There needs to be more enjoyment and depth to the drive and better quality materials used.

    0-60 time means nothing. These vehicles are designed to get you where you are going, no matter the weather. Not to win a drag race. Add AWD (it's NOT a 4X4!) and you are good to go until the very worst of winter storms. Upgrade further to a TrailHawk and you get a multitude of off road goodies that you will probably never use, but feel good knowing that they are available if ever needed. All this in a DD that gets decent mileage and at a fair price. Winner winner chicken dinner!
