lmao his head bobbing at the acceleration DEAD
giggity giggity!
+Mike Garcia goo
+Luke Hoisington hehe alright
I KNOWW
it gave me a cringe lol
you forgot to mention its Trail Rated!!! it will climb a mountain... Soo happy with mine..
Hi Photog HT, could you tell me which fuel octane rating you use on your trailhawk? Thanks in advance!
I use, regular mostly. Sometimes premium.
Photog HT have you had any mechanical issues ? Would you consider it a reliable car ?
The Renegade has been growing on me and I think it is worthy of the Jeep badge. Needs some aftermarket support though. Another great review!
i love my Renegade, why you so worried about engine performance ? 0-60 time, downshifting and throttle response?? its a Jeep! not a sports car!
Boot Nreboot no, it's a Fiat.
Not hating on Fiats though, I have a Fiat.
Because Jeep's are supposed to have good performance too so it can get you through mud and snow.
That head bobbing tho lol
giggity
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.
I've got a 2016 Renegade Limited that I absolutely love. Only had it two weeks but I'm having fun with it, don't want to really try anything insane off-road with it but it's nice to know I can go down some mild dirt and gravel trails and have some fun.
Byron Stahlmann put some General Altimax Arctic on it and it's a tank, even before I switched the tires it did pretty good in the snow when I put it in snow mode and drive with some common sense. Five months with it now and I still love it.
Ian abrams after the amount of time you have had it so far, what would you give it /10?
Dam, so do you think I should buy a 5.9 Durango or put a 3k downpayment on a 2016 Renigade ? 😐 i know the main market for this car is young people for driving to work, school, maybe the beach. Will the v8 durango do much better ? Im guessing they should do about the same since the Renegade is a short wheelbase vehicle
Ian abrams have you had any mechanical issues? Reliable?
What I really appreciate about your review is you gave us the negatives without crapping all over the Renegade unlike other reviewers who seem to have already made up their minds they don’t like this car before they even got in it.
Giggidy Giggidy Giggidy at the acceleration
I was about to say this
Lookinga t buying one of these and one of the first thing i ddi was see if you made a review on one! thanks for the always helpful videos!
Great car , love the reviews !
What sold me on my trailhawk is the remote engine start!, I no longer have too enter scorching hot vehicle! Just wished for the my sky roof panels.
Nice to see some more Suv reviews!
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.
Nice review Matt! Love that color combo.
Thanks for the review, I am considering a used one. And everything like that.
you're one of the best reviewers i've seen
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.
Love my 18 compass trailhawk. More room and a little more practicality. Also wonderful off road and in snow
I purchased it! It's awesome
This thing is a beast in the snow and off roading.
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 your channel.
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).
soon, this Jeep will be mine. soooooon
MATT hahahah
3 years now, did you get it?
4 years now did you get one yet?
I like so much this jeep,i think its one of the best mini suv in the market...it looks amazing.
WOW!!!! 😀👏🏼 That was so cool, man! Next request is a BMW M2. You can review it as soon as it comes on sale. After it does, you can find the appropriate Wednesday to post the review. Otherwise, new car reviews, like the 2016 Charger you said you would review on your March 18th Weekly Update video next Wednesday, are on your mind. Like I said, I'm a big car fan like you because I got fed up with them. Good job! 👍🏼😎 Also, the OSS you used is now on my list of my favorite NCS songs. Next OSSs should be Stardust by T & Sugah and Forces by Jim Yosef (unless you used it already). 🙂 I LOVE IT!!
the head bobbing! DEAD HAHA
giggity giggity!
Awesome review as always matt , is there a chance that you can review the Q70 5.6 V8 ? Thanks :)
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
Renegade & Fiat 500X .... two of my favorite vehicles out right now!
Enjoyed your Video and your enthusiasm. My fiance should have her Trailhawk in 2 more Days she is excited! :)
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
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).
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).
hey matt, nice vid man
NICE!! like to see more jeeps!
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
That moment when you move your head back and forward, priceless!
My fiancee loves the Renegade! She's not an SUV person but loves it.
brake up before it's to late. ;)
+Jeff K lmfaooooo
It's not a suv to small
What's the difference with the 2017 version?
The local used market on these is excellent. Just missed a new base model 4x4 for 18k!
we've had one for over half a a year. no problems 15,000 miles. I really do want to get around off road but the stock tires just are awful and need to go. UT approach angle wise and break over are very good and it outdoes it's class. if someone comes out with a supercharger I might get it
good review! can you review the 1.4 turbo?
7:30 giggity giggity, giggity goo
who else but Quagmire? 😂😂
lol
nice review.
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.
You should do a review on the 3 cylinder jeep of the 1960s just for the fun of it.
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.
+LeadFootLiam I'm sure it depends on the dealership - and the answer is most likely "no" unless the dealer has an off-road area near by.
I took it for a test ride, it drives like a boat it is so under powered 😅your being too kind about the "lack of power"😂 great video
Hey, I am curious and interested in your take on a challenger sxt. Will you be planning in evaluating one soon?
sooo this car is good, nice, pretty good, cool and very cool.... What a review
Thank you for mentioning sticker prices and 0-60 times from the maker!
Man please provide Engine Shots we loved those! and there must be more complaints than the initial ones you should do extra ones at the end.
Again liked the review. If ever in Miami you can review our car
+Jaime Benítez I always provide engine shots when I do the acceleration on the backroad and give the performance specs.
Then I looked away on this one but as always love the review approach
The 2.4L in the Renegade could use a turbo to boost the horsepower and torque a bit
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!
On the rear hatch there is a yeti going up the side of the rear window
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. 😄
Wow love it this renegade
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?
Are you in or around the Northern WV area? Some of the drive looked familiar to me.
I'll buy one when they depreciate a little and when an aftermarket tune is available
30k is way too much for a car like this... That's Wrangler territory.
+dagrome Much like every Jeep, the Wrangler is an overpriced POS too!
+dagrome Try 30K in the UK ... even more dosh! But it's not that expensive when compared to vehicles with similar capabilities.
already 15k,always wait a year atleast.don't be the first idiot.
My 2015 with 30k miles was a bit over $16k. Get the extended warranty and you have a sweet buy.
They have some pretty killer rebates now, I got mine for about $20k
it also has the same engine as the Jeep Cherokee base model
COOL Review: 2016 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk
nice intro!
I noticed that the seats are too low. It's like on the Ford Expedition but they corrected it due to customers complaint.
2:46 I spy a glow plug indicator hiding on the cluster. a hint that Jeep has a diesel version coming
trailhawk version and no offroad impressions? weekend warriors seem to be the target for the trailhawk. could you comment on this car vs. the Cherokee?
+LoboLouie2 I need to find some good trails near me. Never offroaded before. The Cherokee is definitely bigger and more refined but this was a little more fun around corners and I liked the smaller size. Felt more like an old school Jeep to me than the Cherokee.
how does the renegade accommodate taller drivers and passengers?
SO, DID YOU PUT 30 THOUSAND MILES ON IT FOR A WEEK'S WORTH OF CITY AND OR HIGHWAY DRIVING???
Can you do a review on a 2011-2014 Kia Optima SX?
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.
All this jeep needs are a set of Polaris razor knobbys and manually locking wheels. I've never been a fan of electronic 4wd . Some one please build!
I think you missed off road capabilities of this vehicle.... anyway was pleasant to watch as you still enthusiastic as usual ;-)
could you please review the 2016 Dodge Charger Scat Pack or the hellcat
Do you have a review for 2016 crosstrek?
Great review Matt, I think you pointed out that it is a playful car/suv that's not supposed to be supper serious 4x4 Rock crawler. It's a entry level jeep and has nice little touches all around the car giving homage to its heritage! I think this would be a great first car for a young person going to school! Or someone with lots of personality! Great review agin, you nailed it!
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!
+JonnyZ I still do love it! The only problems with it were that it didn't have a backseat and I heard it wasn't too good in the rain or snow.
+subaruwrxfan Matt you should get a g37. it's basically a luxury g37 but you can find them with awd if you need.
+subaruwrxfan
high power rear wheel drive cars in general aren't good in the snow. You know what car is good in the snow a WRX. hmmm
+Jeff K
also has a back seat
+Jeff K Haha well the Mustang did great in the snow. The 350Z just has a shorter wheelbase and fatter tires so it likes to spin in the snow.
You drove it for a week and didn't take it off road??
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.
"Save the manuals" nice comment haha ;-)
Wow. you just reviewed and graded the road performance of an off road vehicle. Bravo. That's a stroke of genius if there ever was one.
Your so cute, I just subbed!
Renegade Trailhawk or RR Evoque 2WD TDi?
Was this a press car that you had, Matt?
1:13 numbers in chalk on the tires?
THERE IS A GREAT DIFFERENCE BEING BETWEEN 5 NINE AND SIX ONE, IN LEG ROOM!!!
Anyone else noticed the sweet, classic car at 12:42 ? :D
I did not see you mention the very thick A-Pillars which blocks your view.
only good thing about this car is the song made after it
Pretty sure the song wasn't made for it lmfao
i want one of those so bad
Is that stick or automatic shift
Could you review an x3?
there is a jeep srt wich is very fast and it is performance truck can you review that jeep
Does it have a cassette player?
No, it has a 8 track player option 😆
I know this is a joke but the last car to have a cassette player was the 2010 Lexus SC430
what jeep color is that one ?
Where is this filmed?
If jeep renegade has a 2 doors that will be awesome
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.
