Jeep Renegade 1.4 Multiair Longitude 5d DDCT Owner Review

It's small with a high ride position. Nice thick steering wheel. Light to drive although the brakes are way too over power assisted which can make for uncomfortably jolts when braking. The diesel model I test drove did not have this issue. I find it quiet perhaps as it's petrol. Dislike the built in Sat Nav which takes forever to start, so long that I have given up and used Google maps on my phone. The luggage space is small and I tend to leave rear seats down often. I don't like the DDSG gearbox as when reversing and coming across an obstacle, say a kerb, you cannot build up the power whilst covering with the brake as it will cut the engine and you are left looking like a total novice driver. Also rolls back on inclines. Very poor petrol consumption, average 26mpg and a small petrol tank. Headlight are nothing more than average. All that said I do like the car. Prefer driving it to the equivalent VW of Ford which I have driven. Were I to buy another I would go for the 170 BHP diesel 4x4.
