I love how he said :”In *my* opinion! And quickly added to it “Do what you want..”😂
😄✌
Inspirational Nomad oOh hi there I.N - you’re a cool guy! I’m from London UK and am getting a manual transmission Renegade soon, so was watching your review for inspiration 😊
YvieT 😀.. thank you, good luck on your purchase & journey 🙂✌
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏
FANTASTIC SIMPLE NO Krapp review.
No STUPID background Annoying music.
Keep it up.
LOVE it.
DEFINITELY one of the Very Best reviews I have seen. I am 61 years old!!!
Greetings from 'OZ'. (Australia)
Thank you very much 🇦🇺 ✌
The perfect damn video.I'm young, single, and looking to buy a Jeep Renegade Trailhawk so I can travel, film, and coincidentally live in the car full time.
Quantay Peoples Thank you, good luck on your journey ✌
Quantay Peoples you'd probably be happier with a caravan. The room and comfort will be welcome.
charredskeleton but that 4wd I'm the Trailhawk is so much better that room and comfort 😅
I have Renegade 4x4 Upland edition. I’m a cardiac nurse, single and love to go camping/travel. I live in LA... I could not ask for a better car to take to the beach, city, forest, mountains and all the places California has to offer. THIS CAR IS PERFECT FOR MY LIFESTYLE!
Thank you for sharing your experience ✌
This review has been very helpful. Thanks. 😊
Eric Daizel Thank you ✌☺
I really enjoyed your review. I bought one of these for my wife and she loves it. Your review was really down to earth, completely honest, and relatable to any question someone may have. Great review
Thank you Derrick, I really appreciate the positive feedback and you taking the time to leave me a comment. Have a great day and good luck with the Renegade, I am still overall enjoying mine
great video, thanks for actually covering everything, unlike most car review videos.
Planning to buy for my wife who really really really wants one (and reminds me every other day), glad to see this honest and good review, thanks a lot man :)
Thank you for the positive comment, best of luck to you & your family ✌
I definitely agree with some of the things that were pointed out - I have a 2017 Renegade Sport 2.4L, I'm single, no pets, no kids and all I really do is haul my mountain bike around, fits me well - go to work, hang out with friends, it's all good - I do like the styling of the Renegade, it's shaped like a toaster, but i like it - it's comfortable and a relatively smooth ride - it's no speed demon by all means, but I do have a pedal controller which makes it pretty fun to drive lol
Thanks for sharing!
Solid review man. Respect! Living out of a car is something I look at.
Thank you Eric for the positive feedback, much appreciated 😉👍
I love my Jeep Renegade. I'm a realtor. It fits clients comfortably. I can also gold the back seat down for my signs/other Realty stuff I have to haul around sometimes! The seats wipe off very easily. I get a lot of compliments on it. The front is super roomy. And it's amazing for camping! I have the 4x4 latitude in black
Thanks for sharing your experience Maria 🙂✌
Great review man. I've been looking at getting one, but all I've found are Jeep reviews talking about how great their product is. It's nice to deal with honesty. God bless, and take it easy
Thank you brother 👍
Mind if I ask which color you went with? Curiosity can be a powerful thing
Brilliant review, this helped me so much. I need a family car and this gives me the real deal on it. Thank you!!
Thank you very much for the positive feedback, best of luck to you ✌
Very honest review. We need that more for CZcams reviews.
Thank you very much 🙂👍
I'm looking for a small sporty car for daily driving, currently driving my ram 3500 every day or my victory bike on days I don't have to pick up my daughter from daycare. Anyone can do a review on a car they don't own. But, this review from someone that actually owns/lives in it it's a great review. Thanks.
Thank you brother I appreciate the positive comment👍
Good luck on your journey ✌
I own a 2018 sport. The seats I think are very comfortable, here I disagree with this review. I am very satisfied with my renegade. He's right the 4x4 is great in the snow.
Married when 3 kids. It's our main vehicle 🤣
Jason Politis 😄 Thanks for sharing ✌
Any issues with it ?
That's crazy just gotta blue one not to judge..Well put it like this I'm judging you hard. I'd never have this jeep if I had kid's. It's a fun in my 20's type of car
Jason Politis u must be a dwarf lol
How do u like
Thank u for ur honest opinion
Thank you for the positive comment ✌
I have the Compass, like you, a few electrical glitches but it’s under warranty.
I like JEEP, and I hope one day that they will get their act together with their recall issues.
I hear you, I had a Jeep Compass Rallye edition and I really loved it
I have a 2015 1.4L Turbo. I've had a few electrical issues with the check engine light. I think the electricity is getting wet from a downpour rain. I just undo the battery and the issue goes away. However; I will say with the standard gearbox and turbo it zips in and out of traffic in the northeast.
I'm 6' tall and weight 300 lbs (I an shrinking :) and I find the seats quite comfortable. My 6'4" 300 lbs, 16 year old son fits as well...Not in the back seats. Overall, I am liking my Renegade (2018) more and more and in two years when I pass it along to my daughter she will have a safe, capable vehicle.
Wow to the point!! Great review! No bullshit, loved this!!! I'll be subscribing to your channel.
Thank you ✌
Just wanted to share that my wife and I who have 2 young children (5 & 3) just bought today a 2019 renegade 4x4 Latitude. We put their car seats in it and they had plenty of leg room and my kids are big for their age. After hearing about your experiences with the electronics and the sensors in the engine I'm happy we paid a little extra for the 7 year 100,000 mile warranty lol
Finally a review with an emphasis not on the 0-60. You stayed uncomfortable Seats. That’s a deal breaker for me. I had to trade in my Honda Insight at a loss because the seats sucked. Thanks for the honest review. When your down on Florida hit me up.
Thank you for the positive feedback, much appreciated 👍
Ty for the Review 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for the positive comment ✌
LOL I waved back... Awesome review. Can't wait to get one.
😀👋😉
I want to buy Renegade but everybody tell me Jeep’s transmission is not good and also always have to spend money to fix the problems !!! Is it true???
Great review and I hope you're doing well!!!
Thank you Alex
Dude. Thank you for this vid. I'm looking into buying this vehicle SPECIFICALLY to live out of it full time. Could you do a vid on this?
Shit. NVM. Didn't realiz your channel was dedicated to this. I will watch. Thanks!
😉👍
Super great vid señor!! Orange 2015 latitude owner here! And love it also!!
Thank you 🙏 ✌️
Your Jeep is making people stop and look. That’s a plus
Fantastic review thanks!!
Thank you 🙂✌
I'm.getting the green one bro cannot.wait
Best of luck to you with it 😉✌
Awesome video I respect the review. I'm a middle-aged man that's looking to buy one for a daily commuter. I currently have a Toyota 4Runner and a Yukon XL both are too bad on gas kind of kicking this idea around still get my little four wheeler to go off-roading with the wife and one kid plus I wanted to go 30-40 miles to work round trip a day . have you had any major mechanical?thanks
Thanks for the video, Im in the market to buy a Jeep Renegade but Im a tall guy so I guess I will have to test it out. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment, best of luck to you ✌
Thinking about getting one to fit my 2 girls carseats. Already have an explorer for trips and the main family vehicle... but my 2 door GTI definitely doesnt work for car seats🤦♂️. As a daily commuter for me and occasional errands with the family I'm hoping this meets my needs. Thanks for the review! Great info!
Thanks John for the comment, best of luck to you and your family 🙂✌
I'm looking for car to do some travelling with my gf and our german shep...this renegade really got my attention almost immediately. Though still thinking about it, but I really appreciate your honest view about it, thanks!
Gwen Coonen Thanks for the comment, best of luck on your journey ✌
Renegade sounds good for you. Wrangler sport could help too.
Did you ever get one? I’m on the verge but I’m a little worried about the long term reliability. P.s. I have a gsd too
@@BrizzleHizzle I ordered one just last monday ! Mine is now due to 16th of april :)
I actually had some other issues to take care of, like finishing the renovation of my house etc and was actually rolling around in an older Ford transit connect 2-seater. I always did maintenance myself, but now lately it started to choke on a failing turbo. Still keeping it though, mainly because of the dogs etc , but I'll need to restore it completely.
Wanted to wait until the summer, but I just don't trust to Ford anymore and just had to order a new one.
I ordered a sport basemodel, here in Belgium it comes with a 120bhp 1.0 T3 petrolengine and unfortunately no option for a 4x4. Then again I choose the basemodel, since, like 'Nomad' said in the video , you can do whatever you want with it. The aftermarket support for it is amazing!
I already have a bunch of optional stuff here for when it comes in, including fe. tha oem roofrails, sidebars and bullbar and a roofrack with ladder etc...also thinking about going for the 2" liftkit. But since it's mainly a citycar, besides the occasionally trips to the outdoors, not having the 4x4 isn't a big thing for us.
This model though, you really can fit it to your own needs and personality and that's why I fell in love with it.
A friend of mine also bought one last year and has nothing but positives to say about it :)
@@BrizzleHizzle when i commented on this I only had 1 gsd and 1 romanian fosterdog...now we have 3 gsd's !
Just loving the breed, such amazing animals and they're better then having an alarm x-)
But yeah, that's why I need to keep the van now, since they won't all fit in the Ren :P
I own one as well. Limited, MySky, Navigation, upgraded entertainment center, everything it could possibly come equipped with. My husband and I rented a mid level Latitude on our honeymoon in Puerto Rico and enjoyed it so much we went and bought a brand new one just a couple months later. I traded in a 2009 Infiniti FX 35 which was a sporty tank. I wish the Renegade had a slightly bigger engine or more power. I almost killed myself the first day I drove it to work and tried to pull out into traffic. I was used to my monster engine and when hitting the gas nothing really happened in the Jeep. I love the look, particularly when freshly cleaned up, the windows all down, and the roof panels removed. We live in a beach area so it fits the aesthetic here in Florida. I don't know if the Latitude we rented was a bit swifter or it is just my imagination? I definitely won't ever try and dart out into traffic again. Which is tough as we live in a very densley populated area. It has also been back at the dealer for various things going wrong. Less than 20,000 miles and the entire MySky panel system and track had to be replaced. The powered front panel kept getting stuck because the motor died out. The engine is currently being pressure tested for excessive oil consumption. I would proceed with caution on this one. When they are good, they're great. When bad, they're a terrible disappointment.
Thank you for sharing your experience ✌
Thank you for the video.
Thank you Kristine ✌
What a great video, thanks bro. I know is Sep 2019 but I'm thinking of getting a compact crossover and the renegade has something that I like, maybe because a couple of years ago before I had kids i owned a two door wrangler and ot was a blast and I love boxy vehicles. I currently own a hyundai Elantra that is lease and it's what I used for my daily commute and my wife drive the larger sonata since she always have the kids so when though I have a family, my kids dokt used rear facing carseats and only a booster and living in SoCal that size would fit the bill. Plus I grew up in a poor family and had small cars that were only.meant for 4 people but at least 6 were always in, so I'm not like those fancy people who want a stadium inside, as a matter of fact, I like compact cars. Has it been reliable? That's the only thing that is keeping me from buying one. In my area the almost basic models, not the sport I think they are called latitude come with the basics that I need, for $17!!! Brand new, plus tax
Good vid man... thanks
+Damsen Tech I appreciate it brother, thank you 👍
You have some nosey people over your left shoulder. They want to know why your talking to your dash.
Rambling Burkeen lol 😄
I don't think it affected him as badly as your making it out to be...(g)
Love that comment.
Prob bc of the tatoos, same happens to me at retail stores when I wear a blac shirt
I like how the lady was nodding every time he made some points lol
Mine is fab. Not a single problem. I find it very comfortable and very quiet on the fast roads. Love it.
Thank you for adding your experience 👍
GJ F how many miles ?
@@Aceinfinity-le8zc 11000 to date.
Good review mate, me too single no kids no pets.. I’m a sales rep doing 3000 miles a week, my question is how uncomfortable is it on long distance? I drive a 2018 Tucson which is so comfy
Hey brother, not unbearable.. takes awhile to get used to, but it's a little comfortable. Overall I still like it but you have to accept that the seats are a little uncomfortable
thanks bro!
Thank you 👍
Honest review! good for you man. Next time upgrade to Limited so you would have a better sleeping couch
What is the best one person suv vehicle you had?? Is the renegade the best choice? How about the Cherokee? Or wrangler?
Maxumaki In my personal opinion a Jeep Compass, I had a Jeep Compass for about 5 years and it was great.. but again everything is based on personal preference, this is just my opinion
I see thanks! I'm getting my first car and I do love SUV's. Compass seems nicer and I want it to last and low in price too! I made my decision☺
Good review. I've been thinking about getting a new car with AWD and could accommodate my family of three soon to be four. The Renegade seemed like a good option but now I'm rethinking that. Perhaps a different model of Jeep would be for me. Thanks for your opinion.
Thank you for the comment, best wishes to you on your decision ✌
I might be getting one for myself, will be paying around €17,000 for a 2nd hand one. Im a bit concerned about its power, i currently own a golf mk 5 with a 1.9l engine so im used to some power and speed. Do you think that it will give me that?
I just bought a used loaded 2016 Trailhawk with 80k on it and got the extended warranty as you had no issues and got over 200k
Thank you for the videos and reviews and updates
As a middle aged person with a family of four, this Jeep works perfectly for me. I also use my Renegade for overlanding, but I admittedly have done a few mods to my Trailhawk. The cargo room is limited but nothing a roof basket couldn't fix. This little Jeep has gone everywhere I have asked it too which at times have been a bit extreme. Handled like the little beast it is. Over all great review. Well done.
Wes Potter awesome, thank you for adding your perspective & experience. I really like Jeeps ☺✌
Wes Potter same... Well, I got the roof rack, trailer cargo, and family of 5 🤣
Jason Politis how does it do pulling a trailer?
Wes Potter @or7therenegade on IG. I have some pics there of the hitch cargo. I've pulled a regular trailer also. Does just fine. Of course we are under powered, so even just an empty trailer slows us down quite a bit. The hitch cargo, though, is easy to get to than basket, and doesn't affect aero Dynamics either.
Car seats fit well?
Used to own this vehicle. It's a cool little car with good mpg for 4WD, with rugged exterior and stylish interior, but I think mine got dropped on its head in the factory. A year into ownership the transmission started to slip. Acceleration can be sluggish. The front touchscreen stopped working and the cup holder lights went out.(If you buy this car make sure it's under warranty). Besides that I had fun driving this car to Colorado for the mountain views.
Little back story, this vehicle is technically an American/Italian fusion. This vehicle is manufactured in Melfi, Italy alongside the Fiat 500. Fiat bought Chrysler January 21st 2014.
If you're looking for a reliable Jeep buy an older Wrangler or Cherokee with low miles, (I used to own a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee) or buy a Toyota 4runner. They are easy to work on, retain their resell value, and fun to mod. Happy trailing.
Caleb S EXACTLY!
Great review!
Thank you for the positive feedback, much appreciated ✌
Great vid. I would add a few comments for people looking at the sport model. 7 months ago I purchased a 2017 jeep renegade sport, 4wd. I agree that this vehicle is great in the snow. And I do like how it looks and how it handles. What I dont like is that I did not realize the vast difference between the sport and the other models. There are no roof rails and it will take a bit of expense (@ $300)and doing to get some on. No trailer hitch. In watching several vids on this I realize I will need to replace the bumper and the kit runs around $500. And, as I found out the hard way, no spare tire, no jack, no lug wrench.- That cost me about $300 to buy - and the fact that they didnt come with the sport cost me a day's pay since I missed worked the day the tire blew. Also some sport models dont come with AC! My god, I am glad the one I bought comes with it. Altho the AC in my honda element was much colder. The other thing is that I really didnt realize, like he says in the video, just how small my little beast is. I can put one tote in the cargo area to take to recycling. Thats it. I have 2 dogs, so had tried keeping the back seat down for them, to give them more room, but my one shepard mix couldnt stand up with the seat down! There is that little of space from folded seat to roof. So I ended up just keeping the seat up and he fits better that way. So tiny as hell, this is! I do alot of highway driving and average around 27mpg. If I had it to do over, I certainly would have gone for a model with roof rails and a trailer hitch. And if I could have afforded a wrangler, that is what I most certainly would have bought. But, it is a jeep. I could afford it. It looks sharp and more importantly handles the snow and logging trails pretty good. I will love it more once I am able to get roof rails on it and a tow hitch.
Gryphon Ennis Thank you.
I am serious about buying a renegade. Jeep is offering great discounts of $5k until 01/31/18. But your comment about uncomfortable seats threw me off. That's a killer for me. I see on the Jeep Website that the "Trailhawk" edition comes with 4 way adjustable lumbar with 8 way power seats. Did you get the manual seats instead of the power seats? Just dying to know. Thanks for your inspirational videos.
Peter Rutkowski Hey Peter, I have the manual seats but even the people I know with the automatic seats say they are uncomfortable. I wish you the best whatever you decide 👍
Thanks for your input. I think I will look to rent a jeep Renegade for about a week to see if I can live with it. I love the look but I'm hung up on the seats. I'll let you know.
I’ve got a 2017 Trailhawk with manual seats. I don’t find the seat to be uncomfortable at all. My wife said it’s not uncomfortable, but it’s a different feeling. We’ve got 3 kids and the seating in back is a little tight. It would be better but I’ve got the driver seat pushed all the way back. It will fit adults, but leg room is next to nil.
I have back and neck issues and find the seats very comfortable 🚙💕!!! Honestly the jeep is well worth it, it's awesome!! But..one and only issue with mine is its shifting very hard into 2nd and random tranny problems!!! Otherwise it's great!!!
Got to agree on the seats. I was set to buy one, test drove it for 30 minutes and my outer thighs/hips were killing me from the bolsters pushing up and in on them.
Seats should stop you.... you can buy after market comfortable seats for any vehicle
Gary Singh Buy a brand new car then buy new seats? You're a wild man.
@@Hay-tn6hz guy doesn't know about airbag and seatbelt sensor, this ain't an old Willis. Just glad I got an XLT FX4 with 34k miles for the same money as one of these turds new.
I asked two people how they liked.theirs..they both said they had some odd electrical things happen : /
Buying a 2017 Desert Hawk. The body style and size definitely fits my current lifestyle. Only concerning thing is the longevity of the vehicle. How is the reliability of the 2017 models?
I have a 2016 Trailhawk with 155,000 miles, overall its been pretty solid and I have been happy with it.. best of luck to you on your journey ✌
How’s the ac cause i live in the middle east which can get really hot. Is it really cool? Cause the price here is really low.
Hey Gee, to be honest I don't run the AC that much, only once in awhile because I like it Hot and I live in Florida but sometimes travel for my job. Good luck on your decision whatever you decide ✌
You are Inspiring I love it😎👀
Thank you ✌
Do you still have this Jeep? Would you still recommend it? Size isnt the issue for me, the reliability is in question at the moment. I'm so drawn to this Jeep though 😭
Hey Lina, yes I still have my Jeep.. overall it is still good, the seats are very uncomfortable.. would I still recommend it?.. not necessarily in today's market place as I think there are better options in the price range of 20k to 30k.. such as the Kio Niro, Pruis or Rav 4.. why?.. because I like the Hybrid efficiency of those vehicles, however everyone has their own individual circumstance they must evaluate for themselves based on their needs. Best of luck to you on your decision ✌
I love everything about the the Renegade. It should of had a small v6. I have the mysky so it's a summer car.
Thank you for sharing your experience
Leandro Escobar any issue with the my sky ? Like does it close slowly ?
I used to have a 2015 Jeep Renegade Latitude and that had a few problems, so I traded it in for a 2016 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk. I had it for a year and had paid it off and then I used it for a trade in for an RV. So, now I have a 2017 Ford Focus ST, and I was rear ended a few months ago and it just doesn't drive the same. I am now planning on trading in my Ford Focus ST for another 2017 or 2018 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk again as I miss the vehicle and also how it can go on water without hesitating, meaning I don't have to drive around to get into a drive way to get to a restaurant if there is a small/medium size puddle. I miss how the Jeep Renegade runs and I can go off-roading again. Thank you for the review.
Thank you for sharing your experience and good luck on your journey ✌
*Samm B.* To be fair Samm (and don't get me wrong, I love my Renegade Trailhawk), any modern two-wheel-drive hatchback could (or should?) be able to deal with small, medium, and even large sized puddles. Yes, the Renegade has higher ground clearance than a 2x4 hatchback, but only by a couple of inches. But thanks anyway, and big thanks to *_Inspirational Nomad_* for sharing his own thoughts about the Renegade. I must admit, I'd find it really difficult to actually live in my Renegade for a whole week, let alone a whole year. Then again, I am 6' 5" tall and weigh in at around 280lbs!!!

im 45 and looking to buy 1
i live in tampa florida
i own a little hatchback rio
great car.
but looking for something more masculine, but small
David Guarin Hey David, I hear you on that, I think you can get one for a reasonable price, I have been overall very happy with mine. Thanks again for your comment brother 👍
David Guarin do it! Join tjk and Tampa renegade groups on Facebook as well.
What do you drive now???
Awesome review 😊
Thank you Jen ✌
I am an older empty nester. All I need to know is how is the ride? Bumpy or smoothe?
A little bumpy by nature of a Jeep with its boxy frame
I love the outside of my jeep renegade . I think the car is great I love it my issue is the cars power
I can understand your perspective, thank you for the comment ✌
Hi, Live in Fla, Did you purchase vehicle in the Northeast? I’m from NY, I find it very difficult to purchase cars down here in FL...
I purchased it in New Jersey 3 years ago
Nice honest review. I like that. I drive an Explorer Sport that I’ll need to replace in the next couple years.
Thanks Kyle 👍
I'm 25 and single I'm saving up for this type of car from Texas Auto direct. I drive an old used Honda is this a good choice for me?
If it is below your means and you are willing to deal with uncomfortable seats and you don't plan on having a family soon
Did you even watch the video?
why would they cost money?
..."being a single person with no family, I dont wanna family" ahahahahahah
💯✌
Was thinking of getting this vehicle because its perfect for my needs. Mountainbiking, some dirt roads, maybe some camping. Have one child as well. However, jeep/dodge/fiat get a bad rap for being unreliable. Can any owners maybe shed some light on this? Thanks
I have a 16 year old Dodge Dakota. I have replaced the water pump twice, the window washer motor and the driver side door mechanism. I have a 2013 Grand Caravan RT and had the front leather seat seam start to come apart- the warranty covered it and the battery went fairly quick. Replaced it with a quality aftermarket and have had no problems since. I have been happy with both of my Dodges. I have only had my Renegade Trailhawk (bought for my Daughter) for a week and the more I drive it the more I like it.
@@homericteacher appreciate your feedback
Nice review. Have any issues with the oil consumption?
Thank you, no I have not
i used to drive 98 jeep cherokee nothing was better in snow. how is reliabilty of renegade
Overall it's been pretty good
@@inspirationalnomad I'll have to test drive it. The old Cherokee had very comfortable seats. I'll like to buy new base model but it must be reliable I commute long distances in the middle of no where. Years ago I drove the 1973 Fiat 124 sedan and 1980 Fiat 131 Brava sedan - great vehicles- not junk like the fiat 500. The renegade is imported from Italy. Thanks for the video.
@@strategicservices9906 Best of luck to you on your decision, in a year or two I think they are coming out with Hybrid/Electric models
Do you live by the river
From your experience, Would you say that mechanically it is a good car? Did you have any issues with the engine etc? Thanks & Great review!
Yes overall mechanically sound, the electronics can be a little temperamental at times but overall good.
Issues I have had are:
1) Blown engine thermostat that caused loss of 4wd and service engine light, it was replaced under warranty at the Dealership.
2) Spark Plug Cylinder Misfire, it was replaced at the Dealership for a couple hundred dollars, it was out of warranty as I have a 100,000 miles + on my Jeep Renegade
3) Radiator Fan went bad, had it replaced for about $360 at the Dealership
*Those were the major issues other than the normal maintenance of a car
Anyone know what size of mattress you can
Fit in the back with the seats down?
Gage Garcia Hey Gage, I don't know.. I use twin foam mattress padding on top of my folded down sheets but even that is too big but I can flex the padding to make it fit. I have seen someone use a Tri-Fold mattress from Amazon and fit it in their Prius so that may be an option because it is flexible
had to replace transmission and engine in my 2016 renegade... terrible luck with mine...
Sorry to hear that, thank you for sharing
dorlack how many miles were on it ?
I have a 2015 Jeep Renegade I bought used hopefully it’ll work out like in the comments
Best of luck to you ✌
How is it working ?? I’m planning on buying one, I’ve heard so many bad things about it !!
Yumayra Almeida did you end up buying it ?
Thank you....I wanted to buy one of these but biased car reviewers put me off because they kept saying it was built by Fiat.....who are awful for reliability..... But Jeep must have had a lot of input to make sure it wasn't as rubbish as a Fiat 500. Cheers you have restored my faith.
Thanks, I almost have 200k miles on mine.
How is it for a first car?
Jesse Fabian In my opinion it has the potential to be good, but that question is mainly based on individual taste and you should test drive it first and read reviews online then form your own opinion.
Thanks for the comment 👍
The electronics lock up? In your OK with that
Sometimes they do but they quickly reset, hasn't been a major issue for me
I’ve had my renegade trail hawk for just under three years... I might as well be trying to floor a lawn mower when it comes to acceleration. Also I’ve had the car stall out multiple times for no reason... specifically after refueling. Additionally, the lights in the drivers side temperature control are starting to go out. Overall I think the car is over priced and wouldn’t ever recommend buying it new. It’s a fun little car that’s gets compliments but it’s not practical in my opinion. You’re better off buying an used wrangler or grand Cherokee.
Thank you for sharing your experience, I hear you on your points, overall I am still happy with mine, but thanks again for sharing ✌
Dam scotty Kilmer was right about it on his youtube mechanic channel thanks i will not buy even though it looks good
What about the AC or Heater in winter?
They work but the AC is not that great
why not a subaru crosstrek?
1990Ravens just not my personal preference, but to each their own 👍
How is it to sleep in?
Comfortable for me once you get used to it and set it up right
Im like you single no kids dont want a family or a wife.or girl friend like to be alone and i have a 75 anniversry trailhawk al black love i go everywear with it i like to travel to the beach do things on my own so i love it the feel and the ride seats are a little tight the best jeep i bought great in spots to park .
v padula Thank you for sharing your story 👍
Most safe low priced vehicle
I own a 2003 tj wrangler thinikng of buying a renegade for a second jeep
I only recommend having one car, less is more.. however do what is best for you. Thank you for the comment ;)
I have a 2016 jeep renegade latitude with 2 kids and a wife. I love it but the issue, same as yours, is the electronics are garbage. Check airbag, seatbelts and parking break come on randomly. Been to the shop twice and they cant figure it out. I doubt the ever will as Jeep is notorious for that.
Thank you for sharing your experience brother 👍
Happened in mine too. All the lights/sounds kept coming on randomly. I feel like it will be a bad car after 5-7 years of ownership.
The Gary Daniel yeah I actually recently got rid of the thing. Car max gave me what it was worth and interestingly enough I was able to get my 1500$ refunded to me that I paid for the extended warranty because I never hit that milage.
You live in your car? What do you drive? Your house?
Yes. A Jeep. Sold it.
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.
Kurt Hartman Thank you for sharing your experience, I have personally had an overall good experience in owning my Jeep Renegade for 2 years and a good experience owning a Jeep Compass for 5 years but I understand that everyone has different life experiences
Kurt Hartman if I'm in your environment a Toyota or Chevy is what I'd buy. The Nissan frontier is reliable, not quite bulletproof, but reliable.
Is it reliable ??????
Overall yes, but some minor Eletrical glitches, some small issues with maintenance but overall yes in my opinion & my experience
Thanks for your answer and good job on the review !!
Thank you Gabriel 🙂✌
Just saying... a car is supposed to last longer without any of these problems🤔
$1200 for a windshield, that's crazy.
evilcnil It is pricey, thanks for the comment 👍
I had to wait 6 Months to get mine too 😒 they where on back order!! Love my jeep but yeah it sucked!
Orchids n Lyme That's for sharing your experience ✌
I had to replace my daughters windshield and the jeep replacement was $1200 because it has censors etc. You can get Safelight to give you the base version for around $200 with install. You have to ask them, they won't tell you.
Did he say he LIVES in it?
ye
Yes! It’s his house.
Yes and apparently the steering wheel is sexy !
Mshari he means it’s luxurious dumb fuck
Do you still own this vehicle?
Hey Dawn, yes and overall I am still happy with it
Is it good first car for a guy
Yes
If you're thinking about buying a Renegade, DON'T. I have a 2016 that has done nothing but cause me trouble. Fan went out at 30 thousand, thermostat at 41 thousand, and now at 79 thousand its a steering module. Which almost killed me when it went bad. Driving to work and lost power steering all of a sudden. Got the estimate a couple hours ago, $3,600. Never will I own another jeep.
It's luck that matters with American cars. I own 4 and I'm lucky so luck matters if you want American.
I'm sure these types of Jeeps or branded Fiat 500's is what they actually are. They should work fine but long term ownership would be an issue. Fiat isn't very reliable and all of the new Jeeps run off that platform. What do you think the cost of ownership is long term? It's not like a Rav 4 where 100,000 miles before any issues. By the time you finish paying the say $26,000 for a nice trim level. That's about when the thing starts to become a money pit. I would just lease something like this.
I have 140,000 miles on my Jeep Renegade on its 4 years old, no major issues.. I would not lease but to each their own
@@inspirationalnomad... You must drive constantly to do like 35,000 miles a year.
@@Lyka-clock I drive alot, I live on the road
