I finally managed to test drive 1.6/120 Longitude Diesel version of Jeep Renegade in Poland.

I must say, I was expecting a plastic box, cheap rip off, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the vehicle. The sales guy said the same thing. I am not a big fan of Diesel vehicles, so the test drive of the jeep did not appeal much to me and then they did not have a petrol vehicle to offer for test drive. I got a call last week to go and test drive the petrol version, but I was busy with other stuff.

Would I buy the vehicle: YES

Which Version: 1.4 petrol Limited for sure, I at least need automatic air conditioning and reverse signal. with 17 or 16 inches wheel, not a big fan of 18 inches. I have 18 inches in my current car and the ride us rather bumpy.

My doubts: My current car is 1.6/140 and the Jeep petrol version is 1.4. the space inside the car was very roomy for its category. I definitely love the car
All of a sudden Jeep Poland is offering a lot of discount on renegade with in a fortnight of release. For every extra feature you pay extra money. Mysky costs 6200 PLN extra.

Here is the link to discounts. http://stock.jeep.pl/jeep/renegade

Looks like the caveat on these discounts is that they are tied to financing deals and NOT to cash purchases.

Wheels on that renegade look awesome, much unlike what i have seen on other renegades

Do you know if the Renegade has a tilting headrest? That is an issue for me in some f the newer cars when the headrest pushes forward on my head.

Thanks

I have the same issue with my wife's new Honda Pilot. Unless I recline the seat back to the point where I'm almost laying down my head is uncomfortably forward. I can't drive the vehicle for anything more than a quick trip around town without cramps.

Sadly, the forward headrest is the future because of the safety laws.

Looks like it's slanted forward a bit in this photo. Maybe the mini rest in the back center would work in front. Or maybe bend the rods so they are not as slanted, or an after market solution. Bound to be a way.

I have a better idea, that might or might not work as well, you guys can try installing the head rest backwards. That way there's no bending needed and is a much easier process.

I thought of the reverse Idea but figured it probably wouldn't be that simple.

Here is a discussion of the issue on the wrangler.

They should do what Subaru does in all their cars - tilting headrest - a very inexpensive but effective solution.

I remove the headrests in all my cars as they interfere with my fedora. Couldn't get them off in the volvo, so gave that car to my wife.

Most new headrest have sensor in them to help protect the head in a crash. You may need to check into that before removing or reversing them.

Most of the ones I have encountered use a spring loaded lever design for the active whiplash protection. Removing them is no big deal, reversing them however doesn't work.
