i got the jeep Latitude edition. its a fun car and its super easy to get around downtown because its a smaller Jeep. mine is only FWD but its still has that rugged suspension. Ive been getting 25.4 mpg and i thinks its a good everyday car that has that ability to go on rugged roads.

Thanks for the review, I am considering a used one. And everything like that.

I have a 2015 Sport with the 2.4 9speed combo. I put in the K&N filter that fits the factory housing. Average with city and highway split almost 50/50, I get 27 mpg. Having said that, the 4x4 will get you out of every situation. As a Sport, it's about an inch or so lower than the Trailhawk, but taller than the front wheel drive. It is no exaggeration, I will drive this until it is no longer roadworthy. You will have to pull this out of my dead, clammy hands. Your review is quite spot on.

I purchased it! It's awesome

Nice review Matt! Love that color combo.

Love mine! You forgot the Bigfoot on the back hatch window! I also have the side radar warning system for both left and right sides of the Jeep, back up screen, which you didn't mention, and I have the two removable sun roofs. The front also being an electric automatic opening sky light. I was the first in the country to have that feature on the Renegade. I ordered it before they even started producing it! Yes, I did have to wait longer for it to be shipped over from Italy where they make them. On the highway, I find myself easily getting up to 95-100 mph! It drives really smooth so I do have to watch myself. It's my retirement car and I love it! Low enough for a 5' shorty like me to easily get into with ease. That was a selling point for me too. I wasn't able to climb up into the other more popular Jeeps because of their height off the ground. I needed an extra step to climb into them. I love the fact that I no longer bump the parking curbs pulling into a parking space since the Renegade is high enough off the ground to clear them. It's awesome for the Chicago winters too. It's fun to drive on a hot summer day with the windows down, and the top open. My only regret was not adding a cd player. I assumed it came with it. I do have Sirius XM so I'm not missing it at all.

Nice review! Is there any oportunity for you to review the Flex ecoboost?? I ve been thinking about it for a long time but Ive neven came across to a good review

What's the difference with the 2017 version?

Nice to see some more Suv reviews!

I'm an XJ 5-speed 4.0 owner. I test drove this Trailhawk at the auto show and was impressed by the interior and handling. I would consider buying one if they built a manual transmission Trailhawk. The 9 speed simply has too many issues. Also it is as much as a Wrangler.

Love my 18 compass trailhawk. More room and a little more practicality. Also wonderful off road and in snow

Great car , love the reviews !

Will the dealership let you take these 4x4 vehicles on some off-road trails? Because if you can you should. Some people don't buy these just for the street.

Awesome review as always matt , is there a chance that you can review the Q70 5.6 V8 ? Thanks :)

What about its reliability? I've heard many complains from people who bought it in 2014 and at the beginning 2015. Later it's difficult to say if cars are too new or Fiat has improved some issues (Fiat is producing Renegade).

Real tough to go for this over something like a Subaru XV Crosstrek (which is what I bought for my daughter and I drive for business trips). I was just under $23k with fees and taxes - it doesn't have a heated steering wheel or the nice infotainment system but if I'd wanted a few more options I could have still spent less than the Jeep. I will say this though the Jeep has lots of nice features and their build quality has really stepped up. I'd consider the Renegade again if I were buying another small SUV/Crossover that has 4WD/AWD. The Jeep might be better for real offroad use too. I get above 34MPG on the Crosstrek too by the way (sometimes as high as 42MPG).

it would be nice if you did a comparison to the Renegade vs. the Subaru Forester and the pros and cons between the two thanks

Hey, I am curious and interested in your take on a challenger sxt. Will you be planning in evaluating one soon?

One thing reviewers seldom mention (and granted it would take time to look into for every model vehicle and would vary by time of year and location) when saying the Renegade's get pricey in the higher trims is, unlike some brands, many Jeep models can be had at substantial discounts, particularly if you are smart about when you buy (people are thinking about buying 4wd suv's less in summer, for instance). In my area 98% of what you are going to find are Latitude models but at the local dealer I could purchase a pretty loaded Latitude for $6700 off msrp, roughly $21k. That's with the upgraded touchscreen, keyless entry and start, heated seats/steering wheel/wipers, auto wipers and headlights, etc. A person on one of the forums just purchased a base Trailhawk model for under $20k. You're thus getting a loaded Renegade with a MUCH more capable awd system for roughly the same price you are going to get a stripper model awd HR-V that doesn't even come with roof rails (or seats that go back far enough for taller drivers).

Are you in or around the Northern WV area? Some of the drive looked familiar to me.

you're one of the best reviewers i've seen

good review! can you review the 1.4 turbo?

Matt, my mom has a 2013 Toyota Highlander LE V6. She has been looking into a new SUV. She was looking at the Jeep Wrangler but we are a family of 4. Do you have any SUVs in mind?

Seeing that you do reviews for non-performance cars, I am wondering if you would do a review on the 2014-2016 mazda 3. It's known as one of the sportiest car in the segment and best value car you can buy right now. A lot of people recommend it, but I just want to see what a car enthusiast thinks about it. Thanks

Do you think this would be a good first car for a 16yr, I’m about to turn 16 and I think this car is so cute and sporty!

In this review you didn't cover any of the 4x4 greatness of this little jeep! The price of the Trailhawk model is more expensive, but you get bigger tires, an extra full size spare on the upgraded rim, stiffer suspension, locking rear diff, hill decent control, terrain management system, Jeep Active Drive crawl gear, tow hooks, skid plates on the transfer case, front suspension and fuel tank. Plus all the upgraded interior features you talked about. This trailhawk trim is a way more capable 4x4 than any other CUV and it still drives like a car for great on road.

That moment when you move your head back and forward, priceless!

Matt, how come you decided against the 350Z when you were searching for a car? From the review you made in the video, you adored the car unlike any other!

SO, DID YOU PUT 30 THOUSAND MILES ON IT FOR A WEEK'S WORTH OF CITY AND OR HIGHWAY DRIVING???

The 2.4L in the Renegade could use a turbo to boost the horsepower and torque a bit

Can you do a review on a 2011-2014 Kia Optima SX?

Thank you for mentioning sticker prices and 0-60 times from the maker!

I thought you would review the turbocharged model, because they have a 6-speed manual transmission and you're a manual person usually with your Mustang. But oh well. 🙂 I'm happy with this Trailhawk model and 2.4-liter engine. Even other Renegade buyers like it, especially the ones who don't want to shift a manual transmission. 😄

I'll buy one when they depreciate a little and when an aftermarket tune is available

I noticed that the seats are too low. It's like on the Ford Expedition but they corrected it due to customers complaint.

It's definitely a decent choice in this segment~ Defintiely very different since you can take it offroading. The two main problems are the engine and transmission. The 2.4L Tigershark Multiair 4 cylinder is known for being pretty problematic from what I heard and it's not very reliable. Pair that engine with the ZF 9-speed which for some reason has been tuned to feel almost like a 4 or 5 speed automatic and you get a vehicle that could be great, but those two things really hamper the desire.

Could you review an x3?

Is that stick or automatic shift

1:13 numbers in chalk on the tires?

Kind of reminds me of a Willy flat fender. Just enough power to get the job done and small. Not like a bloated 4 door JK. Keep in mind daystar makes a lift for this jeep. I believe you can fit 31 inch mud terrains with a lift.

Can you review the Mercedes c63 AMG 6.3 please.

In the fall of 2017 I purchased a new 2017 Jeep Renegade from a dealer in Anchorage Alaska. I live in a remote Alaskan town with the closest mechanic over 100 miles away - in Canada. I made it clear to the dealer I needed a reliable, sturdy vehicle. The car was fine until the temperature dropped below 20F then it would start - and immediately stall with a noticeable smell of gas. I called the dealer and he recommended using Heet and blamed the bad gas in the town. Heet did nothing and no other car is having the same problem. The dealer is over 700 miles away and I can't have the car towed back. There's no one to work on it here and the dealer is unwilling to do anything more. The car is a princess car - it'll only run if it's warm and sunny. Which means i'm walking to work at 20 below. Moral is don't buy Jeep and don't buy a Jeep Renegade. As soon as possible I'm taking it to another town to trade it in for a Japanese or Korean car. Something reliable.

what jeep color is that one ?

it also has the same engine as the Jeep Cherokee base model

I think you missed off road capabilities of this vehicle.... anyway was pleasant to watch as you still enthusiastic as usual ;-)
