Yes! Kelley Blue Book Karaoke!

[@jonatamaniuk]

Yes. Yes you should. Dude you are a man of many talents. 👍🏾 On the car review itself... yeah Jeeps are unfortunately more expensive for whatever reason. This one is super cute though. I’d get the trail hawk edition though, though I don’t know if I would take anything on the rubicon other than a Wrangler or Gladiator... or something customized to be extremely off-road capable.

As a Renegade Trailhawk owner of 2 years, I think you did a great review and you hit the nail on the head on one thing.... the transmission is ABYSMAL. It does crazy shifts all over the place, and at times hesitates so bad that it's dangerous. As a 9 speed you'd think it gets better gas mileage, but mine gets no where near the EPA estimates (other owners report wildly different mpg results). Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Rene, but I also did my research before buying and knew what I was getting into. Also, sticker price on a Renegade is irrelevant... the MSRP is priced to be discounted. Sticker for my Trailhawk was $33.5 I left the dealership paying $24.6. Thanks for another fun review from you, the Mrs and the little one!

[@ohc1492]

Well, that was a good deal. Here in Mexico prices are fixed, so there is no bargaining or negotiation. You can only control the time frame in which you choose to pay. I bought a Patriot in 2007 and was relatively affordable.. but nowadays.. I cannot afford even the lowest trim on this one with my income.. my other option being stuck in over 6 years of monthly payments.

[@tallll70]

9 speed has 2 dog clutches shift points which do wait for sync longer then rest of the gears, so many people don't like the feel of it, i believe the latest models, or the tests of 2021s had reports of improvements

[@La-yt1wr]

Check and see if your transmission needs a software update my mother's 2017 Chrysler 200S Awd just got one. And I don't like the ZF 9 speed but it's alot better paired to a V6 but it's horrid with a 4 cylinder and I'd rather purchase an FCA product with the ZF 8 speed.

[@df3555]

@@La-yt1wr Unfortunately no update :-(. BTW, great avatar pic, ..I loved my SAAB 9-3 convertible.

[@jojohoffman9292]

So, I own Upland 2019. The 9 speed has no issues with the 2.4L. I drive in CO in the mountains and feel its timing for shifts is actually quite impeccable. I have no complaints. I have taken it on some tough trails and it handles great as well. For anyone wanting to off-road, I would be careful of trims other than Sport, Upland or Trailhawk due to the front fascia hanging down on other models. Check models for things needed to off-road such as your skid plates. From what I know, only Upland and TH models come with them, but check first before heading up trails. In all, I have enjoyed it for my family and paid well below MSRP. They are priced to discount later.

[@dericprieskorn]

I just purchased a Renegade of my own back in mid June and I absolutely love it! The base package for the Sport trim is the most affordable with the 4X4, $24K. Not a lot of extra bells and whistles but totally okay without them.

[@Jacobk66]

Most under appreciated channel on KZbin! 😂

[@gonzalcala5]

When I was test driving the jeep renegade I noticed a nice detail for families you missed. The front passenger seat actually flips up to reveal a big cubby space that would allow you to place your purse in, or your diaper bag. I believe most women would be extremely excited with this feature. Also, while I was test-driving it I did notice that, if you turn very quickly from side to side, you can feel a slight oversteer. You do not have to go very fast to feel it and I am not sure if it was just my test driving vehicle, but I thought it was very weird. If I were a professional car reviewer, I would investigate that further.

[@chernobyl6703]

Is five inches...? Hahaha, y'all hilarious af. Top-notch review as usual Micah. We appreciate the Good work.

[@ZoomZoom81]

Where was the Innuendo Iguana when Evie said "I'd pay $200 for some fun!" when referring to the additional cost paint options. 🤣🤣

[@utoobia6872]

Expensive at that price. Cars this size should be under $20k. Your videos though, priceless, both here and on KBB.

[@adriangauna8535]

You’re family is so cute. Like watching you’re channel. Like you on KBB

[@danielc3321]

There are certain car companies that can’t just do a normal powertrain. Why?? Just do a regular 4-banger and a 6-speed auto and call it a day if this is so difficult for you!

[@ahighervibe4086]

They DID that...with the Tigerhawk.... and it SUCKED bc that Engine BLOWS!

[@mikemann1960]

The 9 speed is for those who know how to drive a stick in low traffic.

[@Channel-yq6qy]

My family solved the transmission problem when we bought our Renegade by purchasing a lightly used one with a smooth shifting 6-Speed manual transmission since the new ones no longer offer a manual. We love our 4wd manual combined with 1.4L Turbo motor, fun to drive, great gas mileage and if it shifts poorly we can only blame our skills :) Also Pro Tip: Maximum Fun is using Sand Mode on slick snowy roads (of course ensuring it's somewhere safe to play). The throttle response is way different in Sand Mode and ESP is off. Good Times

[@TheRenaissanceAmazon]

I heard someone else say that manual was best. That's interesting because I already wanted a manual.

[@gregmgm06]

This is the most entertaining car review I've ever seen. Now Im off to watch more of your videos!

[@robertstoler7209]

☺️Good thing you where in a Jeep on this vlog, cause between the infotainment inches discussion and the singing this one headed off the road ...🤣🤣🤣

[@customsmithmfg4377]

just picked one out today- traded in my 2014 Jeep Sport Wrangler unlimited for it. I ended up with a new car and the dealer cutting me a check.. now- one could say a lot about that.. but I do really like this smaller car. and with my kids in driving age.. this is better for them. it was a Manual Trans.. so that is no longer an issue for the kids.. I do find the trans on the Renegade a bit spotty.. but I will get used to the time difference and adjust. after watching this I do wish I went with the 4WD but got the 2 cause really that is all I do... better MPG... thanks guys great vid - fun.. well done. keep it up I am sure you will.

[@marciogiesbrecht]

The extension of the sun visor is to block the sun that comes in the top middle of the windshield, between the sun visor and the rear mirror.

[@JulezWinnfield]

Micah's "Renegade" rendition (at the 13:00 videomark) shows me just how old I am. I always think of the Styx song "Renegade" when I see this Jeep.

[@toxickitten6435]

Lol best review ever! So much going on. Here Virginia Beach, Virginia. People here drive insanely crazy. To them 45 MPH speed limit is 55-70 MPH to them. I have people hunk at me when I’m going 45 MPH speed limit or even in neighborhood when the speed limit is 25MPH to them is like 40MPH. Overall, thanks for this review!

5inches is too small. Jeep can’t use the “what...it’s cold” excuse since you’re in SoCal. 7-8 is a good size...those Volvo screens are intimidating even for me.

Ok keep up this family review. The repartee is amusing. Subscribed!

[@Barobran92]

I’m totally biased as the owner of one, but in this class I definitely like the Kona 1.6T the best! I do like the new LED headlights and tail lights on the Renegade though!

[@lakshmandalpadado9066]

Kona is a very small hatchback. Try towing a trailer loaded with a jet-Ski on a beach, and let us know how good it is.

[@luchaDor]

A couple thoughts from an owner. First, nice review...I would highly recommend the 1.3L Turbo over the 2.4L just for the fact that it doesn't have the oil burn issues, that Some (not all) 2.4L's have. Seems to be a solid engine choice. I have noticed very occasional odd shifts in, but after the transmission learned my driving habits, they smoothed out for the most part. Updates: The price on these is 'aspirational' to put it kindly. There are tons of rebates and deals if you time your purchase right. Sticker on my '19 TH was $33,700. Paid $22,700 for it as it was priced on the dealer lot, no haggling needed. (Massive incentives & rebates, coupled with dealer markdowns had it priced at $22,700). At that price (or less) they make more sense. The $1500 destination charge is b/c they're built in Italy and shipped via cargo ship over...

[@swamiboo9375]

You've got a cute family brother!.. Good wishes from Bombay, India.

[@danny9405]

Thanks for this. I started my jeep journey with a renegade, finally after never thinking it would ever be financially possible for me I upgraded to my beloved 2 door JL wrangler. I have a kid on the way so a 2 door may be a no go for baby seat. Im considering getting rid of the wrangler for a renegade for that reason (also the cheaper monthly payments certainly help). Finding out the hard way that paternal sacrifices come well before the little one is even here.

[@sentiencepsn2714]

I just don’t see the value with Jeep’s pricing strategy. As someone who bought a well optioned unlimited for 26k in 2010, that same car would cost me ~42k today. That’s still 12k over the adjusted for inflation number. I just don’t see the 12k in content between the JK and JL generations to justify the upgrade. On the bright side. The 2010 is idiot proof - ten years of headache free driving.

[@macmichaelhenson-rogers9850]

Love your family reviews!

[@gonzalcala5]

I believe the 1.3 L turbocharged engine gives much better economy and probably higher torque, which would justify the upgrade to some people.

[@0HOON0]

In Trailhawk form, these little Renegades are really underrated as an offroaders. They can make it up trails that will hang up and damage a Crosstrek.

[@tallll70]

Crosstrek has oil clutch in center which only activates on slip, Renegade has extra built in auto locker which keeps center locked even when it's not moving, little extra thing which splits the 50/50 without hesitation...I really wish Subaru would ditch the CVT and add center and rear locker

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Who else thinks Micah should sing in all of the videos!

[@TheLifeOnHigh]

Yeah it’s a cute little Ute when optioned out but $36k as tested? No power seat for front passenger, no power rear hatch, underpowered engine.. I would shop around before buying this thing.

[@levigato125]

I can’t believe this car is in its 6th model year.

[@iliketowatch1978]

okay, im in love with Evie. Micah cute, but look at her. Black maxi and red chucks. Gurl you WERKed

Comfort levels in a Renegade: 1- Drivers Seat 2- R, L Back seats 3- Passenger Seat 4- Middle back

[@tnoiset9085]

We own TWO of these (long story, don't ask) .... a 2015 & 2017. (BTW, if another reviewer mentions "Easter Eggs" again, I WILL scream!) Neither are mine, but I drive them both. The engine & transmission mapping is completely different between the two models, with the 2015's engine twice as peppy, and it's brakes three times more sensitive. Fuel economy (on paper) on the 2015 is every bit of 30MPG, and the 2017 @ 28+MPG. Both are smooth and you can drive any length trip with ease. I am a fairly sporty driver, and the engine is plenty for this car, in town and on the hwy. You can tell it's a small engine, but it makes you appreciate technology, and the erratic shifting should be an embarrassment for the designers, so much so that they should do an update for every one of these at no cost to the owner. These Renegades are not perfect, and I won't give a full review, but rolling down the highway you will find yourself thinking, "I like this car." Ours are both 2WD, so off-roading is not a consideration. And, buy at the end of the season or even a year or two back, new off the lot, and save thousands of bucks.

[@alexandriarooks2577]

I bought 2018 jeep for 16,000 brand new. I have the 8.4 inch screen and all of that. I think the price has to do alot with inflation as wel because I remember they had my same jeep on the showroom floor all blacked out for 19,000. Before inflation this model would probably be like $24k- $26k. I wouldmt dare pay $36k for this car lol. How ever it’s a nice day to day car. It gets me around just fine.
