I was looking for a car 4x4 and with a manual transmission, and besides Subaru and BMW only some pick up trucks are available with these features. At the end I decided to get this renegade which it looks great in this trim level. The car handle pretty well even though is heavy for the type of the vehicle, but honestly I saw the weight as a good thing, because u feel like that you are driving a bigger car. The materials are good, heavy doors and the dash board is soft and it feels of good quality at the touch. The engine has a little of turbo leg, under 2 rpm is a little lazy to revs up but than it has sufficient power to go around, especially going up to the hills the engine is really torquy. The mpg is very sensible... But with a light foot I've done 28 mpg, not bad for the typology of car. At the end it feels safe, it's stylish, easy to mantain, to park, I would definitely buy it again, but only with the manual transmission, I tried also the 2.4 automatic and honestly it drives like a 4 speed automatic, that engine is also great but the automatic transmission hide its qualities. I hope there would be a trailhalk version with the 1.4 T manual.
