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
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.
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 ?
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.
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'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?
That head bobbing tho lol
giggity
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
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.
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).
You drove it for a week and didn't take it off road??
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.
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.
the head bobbing! DEAD HAHA
giggity giggity!
soon, this Jeep will be mine. soooooon
MATT hahahah
3 years now, did you get it?
4 years now did you get one yet?
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).
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
Thanks for the review, I am considering a used one. And everything like that.
What's the difference with the 2017 version?
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
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.
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).
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 purchased it! It's awesome
That moment when you move your head back and forward, priceless!
Random question but what shoes are you wearing?
+Alex Tran They're Johnston and Murphy chukka boots.
+subaruwrxfan thanks for the reply 😀
+subaruwrxfan another random question. which ramen noodles flavor do you like best and why?
+Mike Garcia tied between chicken and beef, they're equally good lol.
subaruwrxfan Lmao!
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
On the rear hatch there is a yeti going up the side of the rear window
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.
Renegade & Fiat 500X .... two of my favorite vehicles out right now!
7:30 giggity giggity, giggity goo
who else but Quagmire? 😂😂
lol
Love my 18 compass trailhawk. More room and a little more practicality. Also wonderful off road and in snow
I like so much this jeep,i think its one of the best mini suv in the market...it looks amazing.
This thing is a beast in the snow and off roading.
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.
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.
SO, DID YOU PUT 30 THOUSAND MILES ON IT FOR A WEEK'S WORTH OF CITY AND OR HIGHWAY DRIVING???
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
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?
how does the renegade accommodate taller drivers and passengers?
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
only good thing about this car is the song made after it
Pretty sure the song wasn't made for it lmfao
Is this a good first car?
Minecraft Warlord That's what I wanna know.
they are a good price for a car so new if you look around . if you can drive stick you can get an even better price
Definitely look at the manual Sport edition. It has the 1.4 turbo engine that is noticeably peppier than the heavy Trailhawk + auto trans with the 2.4 motor. Also, the 1.4 can be overboosted to actually be a smidgin on the fast side.
If you want a Jeep for a first car, it's a no brainer. Better than the Compass with 80% Wrangler ability. Any 4x4 model will get you where you need to be. And I haven't heard any complaining of the front wheel model when it comes to snow or mud.
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!
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.
you're one of the best reviewers i've seen
Where is this filmed?
Renegade Trailhawk or RR Evoque 2WD TDi?
I noticed that the seats are too low. It's like on the Ford Expedition but they corrected it due to customers complaint.
Hey, I am curious and interested in your take on a challenger sxt. Will you be planning in evaluating one soon?
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. 😄
Nice review Matt! Love that color combo.
I don't get why so many reviewers expect these kind of vehicles to be sportier.. they shouldn't even mention the world sport.. their purpose is totally different..
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.
The local used market on these is excellent. Just missed a new base model 4x4 for 18k!
Are you in or around the Northern WV area? Some of the drive looked familiar to me.
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!
What color is the car?
Which is the color?
Great car , love the reviews !
what jeep color is that one ?
Is that stick or automatic shift
THERE IS A GREAT DIFFERENCE BEING BETWEEN 5 NINE AND SIX ONE, IN LEG ROOM!!!
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!
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
Was this a press car that you had, Matt?
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.
1:13 numbers in chalk on the tires?
there is a jeep srt wich is very fast and it is performance truck can you review that jeep
Bruce Wayne drove this in the beginning of b v s I believe. It's cute but too pricey for what it is. I think 😉
Vanessa M you’re poor
Do you have a review for 2016 crosstrek?
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
I did not see you mention the very thick A-Pillars which blocks your view.
This car is considered some kind of "luxury SUV" in Brazil. :(
So I'm a teenager, and I might be buying a new first car, and I'm stuck between the Subaru Impreza Hatchback, Jeep Patriot, and Jeep Renegade. (Probably base models and whatever
i think the patriot would be a good choice, you have more space to move people and things around, and it isnt really big...its a good car and you will get good mpg
Impreza hands down. Better build quality and standard awd.
+bdougwrx That's what I was thinking. But I might learn to do some offroad driving in a forest, and I don't know if an Impreza would be good enough to do that
Depends on what you want to do with it. The Trailhawk version will take you places that neither the Liberty or Impreza will take you. One guy took it through Black Bear pass, which neither of the other two will ever be doing.
willlow97 Most of the time it will be in the city. But where I live, the snow is insane, so I'm going to try and get awd. I may try and do some mild offroading, like on a smooth dirt path through a forest, but nothing insane that other cars like Jeep Wranglers would go
I have the same exact renegade but my radio and a.c. unit is different
I'll buy one when they depreciate a little and when an aftermarket tune is available
It's not a powerhouse but it goes. The only issue we have with it is the over steer, it has a 2.4 "tigershark" engine... I don't expect a Porsche 911 performance!...lol
The steering is so sensitive that it takes a bit of finesse to master control. There is a natural tendency to over correct. Other than that we love the little fucker...lol
20mpg? Seriously? That's terrible for such a small car! My 4 litre turbo manages that! Have you been driving through the middle of NYC at 5pm & flooring it at every set of lights or something?
could you please review the 2016 Dodge Charger Scat Pack or the hellcat
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!!
sooo this car is good, nice, pretty good, cool and very cool.... What a review
You should do a review on the 3 cylinder jeep of the 1960s just for the fun of it.
"Save the manuals" nice comment haha ;-)
If jeep renegade has a 2 doors that will be awesome
Wasn't this channel called Subaru Impreza fan or something?
Does it have a DVD player???
No
Awesome review as always matt , is there a chance that you can review the Q70 5.6 V8 ? Thanks :)
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
Nice to see some more Suv reviews!
Test a offroader on Asphalt? Like testing a Ferrari in the mud.
Ever able to get your hands on an Rx8 or Rx7
That would be sick! I am considering buying one, if he did a review that would certainly help me out.
+Fel Beat rx8 or rx7? Bolth fun cars!
+Treg mcMUFFEN I am hoping to do an RX-8 in the next few months, haven't had anyone with an RX-7 offer it for a review yet.
Treg mcMUFFEN
Rx-7 :) Fb, or an Fc
subaruwrxfan
Sweet :)
does the renegade have a CD player?
lol the world may never know
+Jorge Villarejo how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
+Mike Garcia haha
+Jorge Villarejo bro I'm serious
+Mike Garcia yeah i know. lol the commercial
Wow love it this renegade
Can you do a review on a 2011-2014 Kia Optima SX?
Matt do you think that since Ford is starting to do more sport models of their cars they will make either a Sport/ST/RS(maybe) of the Escape since they just face lifted it? Cause it would be kinda cool to put like the Focus ST or 2.3 Ecoboost from the mustang into it and give it some sport tuned suspension.
+Shawn Prickett
Don't forget the 2.7L ecoboost fusion. Should be a pretty fun mid sized sedan.
+Jeff K I'm waiting on that one myself.... I may (dare I say it) think about trading my '15 Mustang GT PP for one if I can get one without all the nanny safety features (I still like to drive) but most of the tech. If there was even a few more inches of leg room in the back seats of my Mustang no way would I even consider getting rid of it but it's a 2 person car in reality....
+Jeff K yeah I know but since the Escape is based on the Focus I don't think the engine bay would be big enough to fit that awesome engine. That car seems like it is going to be awesome my dad has a Fusion Titanium and that handles great it is FWD not AWD though it is a really good car and is pretty fast for a 4 door.
+Shawn Prickett I've heard rumors about an Escape ST coming out with the 2.3 in it. Not sure if they'll actually build it or not but that could be cool. The Ford Edge Sport I had as a press car last week handled great.
+subaruwrxfan yeah from all of the commuter cars there are it seems like Fords handle the best because both the fusion and fiesta my dad and mom have they handle great it is sweet I kinda like driving them even though they are auto.
Thank you for mentioning sticker prices and 0-60 times from the maker!
Enjoyed your Video and your enthusiasm. My fiance should have her Trailhawk in 2 more Days she is excited! :)
