As an amateur off-roader I didn't want a vehicle that would be a chore to drive around town just to get a more superior off-road experience. The Renegade was the perfect fit. Comfortable on the paved roads and around town, but just enough to feel empowered driving it off pavement. I was impressed with the ground clearance and suspension immediately and was able to tackle moderate rock crawling on a completely stock setup. The selectable 4x4 modes are smart and let me chew through thick sand without needing to air down the tires. The stock roof bars let me mount a Thule roof rack for extra storage, but with the back seats down I can easily fit all my weekend camping gear inside. The interior is rugged but also stylish, and I love all the little Jeep Easter eggs accents around the car. Maybe a little pricey at the top trim with all the extras for other vehicles I looked at in this price range, but nothing beats a Jeep for off-road fun.

This Jeep is smaller than a regular-sized one, which does make some issues with as much as I travel, but it has spectacular gas mileage and it is 4WD!! The little details happen to be my favorite aspect of the Jeep. Like the color splat on the RPM odometer, the little Jeep on the windshield and the pops of color on the inside. I really like how comfortable the seats are in it and the fact that the seat rises and lowers by a pump style handle blow my mind. I have noticed that it handles very well around curves and on the interstate as well. I love the way the radio is set up; it makes it easy to use while driving. I like the extra cup holders on the doors too. The back hatch does have extra storage room under the seat, and you can lay the back seats down for when you need more room. I love the fact that it has a remote start, and I can start the vehicle while I am still inside my house so it's either cooled down or heated up by the time I am ready to leave.
