This is the prime rivalry for my dollars. The little renegade should be on sale here by years end. Certainly more capable than the renegade off road, but who really needs that these days ;)

x2!

I really like that new Renegade. I'm looking forward to driving both the Renegade and the Trax and seeing what I think.

My parents had a bad experience with the transmission on their Jeep Grand Cherokee, so I'm a bit wary of any Chrysler product.

My brother's Chevrolet Cobalt has been absolutely problem-free (despite the recalls you hear about!), so I have a bit more faith in Chevy and GM. Reliability is paramount on this vehicle for me. I have to get to work on time everyday, and I can't be worrying about reliability even if it's covered under warranty.

your parents gear box issues would of been because the GC used to use an in house built Chrysler gearbox. The Renegade uses a ZF sourced gearbox. ZF also supplies to Rolls Royce among others, so yea... ;)

I didn't know the Renegade was equipped with a ZF trans. Hmmm... :nerd:

Anyone know who makes the Trax trans?

Now we have bragging right, getting a transmission from the same company that supplies to RR's :D

actually its a ZF nine speed for the Jeep ;)

I do know that in Canada the TRAX has a six MT standard on LS trim, and a 6 speed auto standard on LT and LTZ (option on LS).

The 6 speed Auto is the GM 6T40 gearbox (in house) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_6T40_transmission

The 6 MT I believe came from FGP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FGP_Germany_F40_transmission

The more gears the better, a few years from now we will be talking about a ZF 24 speed, more than my mountain bike
