All cars before the list below were just **** boxes. :)
2004 VW Jetta (had the coil packs problem and had rental for 5 months while the coil packs were on backorder)
2004 Ford Escape (110k miles before trading)
2009 Ford Escape (not as much fun as the 2004), also had a second car which was a 2006 Mini Cooper S Convertible
Laid off so traded both of the above for a 2010 Mini Cooper S Clubman (dealer had to buy it back for timing chain issues)
Mini sold me a 2012 Mini Cooper S Clubman to replace the 2010.
2015 Mini Cooper JCW Hardtop (great car until winter time) Snow tires and or rims and snow were too expensive to justify. Traded for my 2017 Renegade Latitude with 18" wheels and MySky.

2018 Jeep Renegade

Wow - weird seeing it listed out like that. Up until the Porsche I was working in the IT industry and was laid off for a few years working terrible jobs.
 
I sold a 2009 Subaru Forester to get my 2017 TH.

The Subaru was a decent vehicle and handled surprisingly well, but it was... well, dull.

The wife and I really like the Jeep, which we've had for a year now with no issues.
 
Let's see:

1975 Ford Maverick
1982 Chevy Chevette
1986 Ford Escort
1987 Yugo
1989 Chevy Baretta
1992 Dodge Shadow
1996 Ford Windstar
1982 Ford Bronco II
1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2016 Jeep Renegade Sport
2018 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk

...not including motorcycles.

hmmm... I think the OP is just asking your car just before your renegade.
 
It’s a long a convoluted story..

The Renegade is my wife’s, but going back years, my mom sold us her 03 silver Grand Caravan. Then I bought an 03 Dodge Neon SXT for work..

She decides the kids are older and that she does not want to drive a mini van, and she’s taking the Neon..

So some guy runs through our fence and totals out the caravan...

So she gets a new 2017 Renegade!

2014 Honda CR-V LX AWD

We had a Honda CR-V. My wife’s vechicle. It was an all wheel drive. Everything worked great. Typical Honda quality. Reliable as a claw hammer. Great SUV, but kinda boring to drive. The AWD does not work like a 4x4. We are both over 60, and wanted something more fun. We bought a new Trail Hawk. Nowhere near the bells and whistles or storage capacity the CR-V had, but more fun to drive. Happy with it so far.
 
04.5’ Jetta GLI just prior to the Jeep. Before that in no particular order, a handful of various GTI’s, forester, BMW 525i TDS, mkiv golf R32, talon tsi awd, Acura legend, Altima, 91’ Toyota pickup.. I think that’s it lol. I will have another R32. That was the best thing ever until it acted like a VW
 
Traded in my 2002 PT Cruiser for the Renegade. I bought the PT in 06 with very low miles on it (a little over 12,000). At the time I traded it in, it was around 160,000 miles. I had it rebuilt from the ground up in the fall of 2016 (new motor, front and rear suspension, tires, you name it - all new), just to have the new motor cause nothing but problems nearly every week. Ten months and 6k later, since I couldn't trust the PT to drive anywhere without breaking down, I traded it in. I miss it, but not the problems I had. It was fun to drive, but the Renegade is even more so.

Before that, I had a Mitsubishi Eclipse, Chevy Cavalier, and a Mustang.
 
'96 Jeep Cherokee

Sold my '96 Jeep Cherokee Classic 4X4 this year, still going strong at 180k+ miles. I miss it. Love my 4X2 2018 Rene with 6k miles on it, but just tried it out in the Kansas City snow for the first time and on a 10 deg. uphill grade the right front wheel spun and forward motion stopped (from 5 mph). Disabled traction control. Spun again. Re-enabled traction control and the RF wheel spun again. Here I come, again, dealer.
 
I was driving a 2008 Suzuki SX4 (which I loved) that got totaled as a moving truck slammed into it while it was parked.
I've had many "off road" vehicles before, but was wanting a road vehicle that was like a beefed up AWD. This (Renegade TH) was it. I just wish Jeep would ditch the "4x4' badging already, as they're not fooling anyone (we all know it's not 4x4, it AWD, just like many other AWD's). Other than that... it fits it's niche perfectly.
