and this is the new Ride ...

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32102224/FHD0012.MOV

to answer a few questions:

- in the back right bumper the white inlay is the reverse light
- the white crosses are the turn signals
- the turn signals in the mirrors are directed to the side only
- the orange plastic reflector on the front side are not lit and no turn lights

I drove the little Rascal home on 60 km country roads with some step hills at
speed between 80 - 100 km/h (speed limit) and the car runs smooth, you guess you are driving a much bigger Car that it is.
The car itself feels like a very high levelled Cart.

Milage reading from the onboard Computer says about 15 km/l Diesel so that´s not bad for a Car like this
that´s about 6.7 l/km ...

So far i can see this was the right decision for me and now i don´t want to talk iwant to ride ... :x>

Awesome. Thanks for posting these up for us and answering some of those questions that people have been asking about on the forum lately.

What were you driving before? It doesn't look bad in the driveway, but the Renegade seems to be right at home now.

 

[ManEater666]

before that was a convertible Peugeot 308cc just the same Motor also 2.0 l Turbo Diesel engine with 140 ps/103 KW 6 speed but 2WD ... and you bet that the little Rascal found his home now ...

Awesome, congrats on getting one.
Are you varying the rev's to break in the engine properly? Or did you dealer even tell you about doing that?

 

[DogsRule]

How great for you. Well done. The Peugot is a very good looking car. From one style to another. Beautiful in white.

And thanks for the photos.

Now here comes the dissection of everything we can get from the photo:

Is that a Trail Rated badge i see on your Limited's fender?

Hello Maneater666

I did a testdrive with the Renegade. It drives very well, enough space inside but the only thing what I didn't like was the armpost between the two front seats. Whit each gearshift I bounced with my elbow against this post. To my opinion its too high.
Did you have any problems with it?

 

[hatman]

Me and one other wanted the measurements. Cargo area seats up and down and total length front to back with front passenger seat folded down. As far as units, doesn't matter Google's great at conversion.

Thanks

no ... i always had an Armrest like this ...

so i am used to drive those cars "Joe cool style" ( leaned on the Armest, shifting with the fingertips and lookin extremly cool straight ahead) ... >

no now seriously ... i am used to Armrests and i don´t have any Problems with it ... i am 1.83 mtrs in height ... and the shifter is like in a Sports car with very short ways ...

Oh i forgot to tell that the floor is in highest Position so you have additonal 0,20 mtr. (8 inches) in heigth (28.3 Depth, 39 width) in the subterrain ... this is the part i stow all the things i need for work, like working boots, Camera equipment, First Aid kit and so on, so it doesn´t fly around in the trunk that much

 

[hatman]

Good to know, but I am looking at the Trailhawk which I think (not sure) has a full size spare in that space so no 8 inches for me.

Ooooooooooo.

And thanks for sharing. Some guys treat their cars like their wives and hesitate answering people's questions with photos.

So thanks for being generous with your answers. I'm sure we'll do the same and take some of the heat off you soon.
