Schools’ 

growing 

pays off 

A FOREST FULL: (From left) Zara Clark, Tess Sitjes, Sana Fujii and Ruby Young of St Margaret’s College were part of 

24 school teams which played a part in planting more than 30,000 natives this year. 

• By Sasha Watson 

ST MARGARET’S College 

was one of 24 schools which 

played a part in planting more 

than 30,000 natives in the city’s 

red zone this year. 

They have been recognised 

as part of an outstanding collaboration 

with the Eco Action 

David 

Newton 

Nursery Trust, and the wider 

community. 

Trust chair David Newton 

said while it was the trust 

which received the outstanding 

collaboration award at the 

Sustainable Business Network 

awards ceremony, it was 

the “multiple collaborations 

between the trust, the community, 

the 

council, the 

schools and 

organisations” 

which played 

an integral 

part in the 

win. 

Said Newton: 

“It shows 

us that we can’t do this alone 

and recognises the strength of 

working together.” 

The trust grows native trees 

and plants suitable for native 

bird food and habitats within 

the red zone, sourced from the 

Travis Wetlands.

connection,

survey finds 


CONNECTION, acceptance and 

community are just three of the 

most desirable things for Hornby 

youth. 

These were among the most 

prominent themes spoken about 

during a Hornby youth meeting 

last week, which was held at the 

Hornby Club and hosted by Te 

Whare Awhero Hope House. 

Said director Carey Ewing: “We 

hope this is just the beginning of 

the conversation. The response 

from the youth panel reinforced 

what the October Hornby Youth 

Voice survey results showed and 

a lot of common themes were 

echoed throughout the evening. 

“Youths are looking for 

interpersonal connections and 

interactions with a trusted adult, 

they want space to learn and have 

more opportunities, and they 

value being heard and listened to, 

which is an important aspect of 

their journey from childhood to 

adulthood.” 

The panel discussion included 

Hornby High School students 

and staff, youth workers, the 

Community Development 

Network Trust, the Greater 

Hornby Residents Association, 

police and the Graeme Dingle 

Foundation Canterbury 

representatives, as well as an 

audience of about 60 people.

HIT: St Andrew’s College 

band performing the 

Led Zeppelin classic 

Stairway to Heaven. 

Below – Led Zep circa 

1970. 

‘None of them listened to Led Zep’ 

St Andrew’s 

cover song 

goes viral 

• By Pierre Nixon 

ST ANDREW’S College band’s 

performance of the classic 

Led Zeppelin song Stairway to 

Heaven has gone viral. 

The performance at the college’s 

prizegiving has become an 

internet sensation, accumulating 

more than 150,000 views and 

4000 likes on Facebook. 

The rendition of the 1971 rock 

anthem was the main event at 

annual prizegiving, leaving the 

audience of about 3500 attendees 

in awe. 

The band, comprising more 

than 100 musicians, skillfully 

blended the sounds of 

the school’s rock band, school 

orchestra, senior choir, and jazz 

band. 

At the helm of the performance 

were St Andrew’s head of 

the music department, Duncan 

Ferguson, and music teacher, 

Mark Hodgkinson. 

Their guidance, combined 

with the talents of lead singer 

Grace Burnett, lead guitarist Mia 

Fraser, and acoustic guitarist 

James McIver, played a pivotal 

role in bringing the cover to life. 

Ferguson said he “didn’t 

expect” the amount of traction 

the performance would get 

online. 

“I sat down at breakfast on 

Saturday morning and suddenly 

discovered there were 12,000 

views, and I thought, oh, that’s a 

bit interesting,” Ferguson said. 

“Then, over the course of the 

weekend, it just got a bit nuts 

and, it’s exciting.” 

Ferguson said co-ordinating 

the band was “about a year-long 

process” but “wasn’t as hard as it 

seemed”. 

“The first time all the groups 

came together and heard it was 

just three days before the prizegiving 

where we had our final 

dress rehearsal,” he said. 

He admitted none of the 

students were that excited about 

the performance at the start of 

the year because “they were all 

quite young, and none of them 

listened to Led Zeppelin”. 

“But once they saw all the 

groups together, they suddenly 

caught the vision for it, and they 

then got quite excited,” Ferguson 

said. 

Stairway to Heaven was 

written in late 1971 by Led 

Zeppelin’s guitarist Jimmy Page 

and lead singer Robert Plant 

for their untitled fourth studio 

album (commonly known as Led 

Zeppelin IV). 

The song is widely regarded as 

one of the greatest rock songs of 

all time.

could consider going forward,” 

said Ewing. 

“Our young people have told us

“Youth have said they feel a gap 

growing between young people 

and adults due to the continual 

explosion of social media, the 

internet and the accelerated rate 

of change occurring.” 

Ewing said he connects to 

this response as his 13-year-old 

child has already been through 

a devastating earthquake, 

an extreme terrorism attack, 

multiple lockdowns, and a global 

pandemic.

“Something everyone, even the 

wider community, can do is find 

a young person and make up an 

excuse to put the phone down. 

Create a space to spend some 

time together and just listen to 

and share with them. 

“It is the single most important 

thing we, as the adults who 

created social media and the 

addiction to media, can do for

Patrollers ‘on 

the right track’ 


THE HALSWELL Community 

Patrol committee has now 

been formed and is focusing on 

getting a new patrol car on the 

road. 

A meeting was held last week 

at Te Hāpua: Halswell Centre 

to form the committee, after 

the Waipuna-Halswell- 

Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board 

identified the need for 

more support in the area 

earlier this year. 

The patrol reached 

the minimum number 

“A local team for local people” 

of committee members 

required to form a charitable 

trust. 

“We had a good attendance 

with a full room,” said Halswell 

Ward councillor Andrei Moore. 

“I was joined by Community 

Board deputy chairperson Marie 

Pollisco, Community Patrol 

NZ, police, and members of the 

Hornby and South Patrol were 

also present.” 

To get an allocation of Better 

Off funding for the patrol car, 

the community board requested 

expressions of interest be sent to 

Moore. 

The committee will meet 

early in the new year and work

Community patrols are 

organised and operated by their 

local communities and volunteers 

and work closely with police 

and other agencies to assist 

in building safer communities. 

New patrol volunteers are 

provided with full training 

and are asked to contribute 

four hours per month at a 

time that suits. 

“There’s still a lot of 

work needing to be done 

but the ultimate goal is 

to get a new community 

Andrei patrol car on the road in 

Moore Halswell. I think we’re 

on the right track to get 

there,” said Moore. 

“For now, we are still really 

keen to hear from anyone who

Creating connections 

through crafting cards 

THE RICCARTON Card 

Making Club has been using 

the Upper Riccarton Library 

fortnightly on Friday mornings 

for more than 15 years. 

It’s a support group for those 

who have lost loved ones, a way 

to stay connected to the local 

community and a think tank 

dedicated to solving the big issues. 

“It’s much more than just a 

group that makes cards,” said 

group member Anne Davison. 

“We really enjoy the social 

aspect, as well as being creative. 

You meet like-minded people, 

and our conversations are so 

varied from where you use your 

Gold Card, to funerals, and 

happenings in Christchurch that 

others may be interested in. 

“We put the world to right. 

“Some of us live on our own 

now so come for companionship, 

and a couple come to keep their 

mental health in check, but most 

of all we come to meet with other 

people and as a small group, so 

we don’t feel overwhelmed by lots 

of strangers.” 

The best part about using Upper 

Riccarton Library, says Anne, 

is the room. It is important for 

the crafters that the room is very 

warm in the winter and large 

enough for members to spread 

out, with everyone getting their 

own table for their supplies. 

Members come from all over 

Christchurch, Selwyn and 

Waimakariri, and enjoy a coffee 

at the library’s cafe. 

Anne said when she retired, 

she felt a need to meet others and 

continue to learn aspects of card 

making. The group was the perfect 

opportunity to do just that. 

“About every fourth class, we 

will learn something new. The 

FRIENDSHIP: 

The card 

making club 

at Upper 

Riccarton 

Library is 

a creative 

outlet, a 

support 

group, a 

community 

hub and a 

think tank for 

the crafters 

involved. 

more experienced members take 

turns to teach the rest of us.” 

There are currently six members, 

each with their own unique 

style of card making, and the 

group wouldn’t mind increasing 

membership. 

If you’re interested in joining 

the Riccarton Card Making 

Group for a club fee each fortnight, 

get in touch with Anne on 

027 370 8583. 

For information on room hire,

on 941 7923. 

60,000 goal 

for next year 

• From page 1 

Said St Margaret’s director 

of community relations Jane 

Lougher: “We are thrilled to 

have been part of a collective 

effort to plant more than 30,000 

native plants this year, 5,500 

of which were propagated in 

our own St Margaret’s College 

nursery with the support of our 

middle and senior students. 

“Congratulations to 

Eco-Action Nursery Trust, 

Õtautahi-Christchurch and 

Waitaha-Canterbury for this 

well-deserved recognition.” 

The trust was founded in 

2016 as a way to create learning 

opportunities for students by 

taking action in their communities 

to tackle climate change. 

Said Newton: “The schools 

are a fundamental part of the 

project, as the students learn 

practical skills, more about horticulture 

and the environment.” 

“They have expressed how 

they feel better about their impact 

on climate change through 

this project.” 

To date, the satellite nurseries

Jump Jam Nationals 2023 

After the success of last year’s teams, we knew this was going 

to be a tough feat to match. Backing up a national title was 

daunting, but a challenge our Year 8 team was ready for. During 

our first competition, we performed as a team of 7, with one 

student out with sickness and one with injuries. In order for this 

team to compete at Nationals, we required a minimum of 12 

students to a team. With that in mind, we welcomed Maya, Ella, 

and Elizabeth to the team. 

With a rigorous practice schedule of three sessions a week, 

including holiday practices, they have consistently pushed their 

limits and strived for excellence. The countless hours spent 

perfecting their routines and refining their skills have truly paid 

off, as they continue to shine brighter with each performance. 

Competition time 

The Strictly Jump Jam competition is renowned for its high level 

of competition. What began as a novice grade to integrate more 

teams into the typical Jump Jam challenge grades, including 

costuming, formation, and routine changes, has now evolved into 

an elite grade. The scoring requirements for entry now meet the 

highest level challenge grade, making it even more competitive. 

Teams from all over the South Island gathered to showcase 

their talents and compete at this prestigious event. The level 

of competition was extremely high. Mr Brown and I were 

overwhelmed with pride when the students stepped on stage. 

This was by far their best performance. They had the whole 

crowd behind them, cheering them on, with Elizabeth, one of our 

yr 7’s getting a special shout from Brett (Mr Jump Jam) for her 

outstanding performance.

Term 4 Highlights 2023

Halswell Quarry Park Adventure - Junior Park Rangers 

The highlight of our Term 4 has most definitely been the Year 0/1 trips to Halswell Quarry. What a 

fantastic programme run by the council. The tutors who delivered the programme were amazing - so 

knowledgeable and patient. Our Junior Park Rangers became bird watchers and bug spotters. They 

also learned about pollination, seed dispersion and decomposition. All big WOW words for the children 

to write about when they got back to school. 

Thank you to the 

amazing parent 

helpers who came 

along and allowed 

themselves to be 

dressed up as trees 

(all whilst being 

attacked by a toy 

chainsaw!) 

An amazing 

experience for our 

tamariki. 

Ngāti Moki Marae visit 

Our ākonga were greeted onto the marae with 

a mihi whakatau. Our students did very well 

in showing respect during this time and Kaira 

Rapana our Kapa Haka Kaea, led our waiata. 

I was proud to see how well our students 

represented Oaklands Te Kura o Ōwaka. 

Our ākonga were then invited to mihi to whaea 

Fiona to which they did an awesome job. Thank 

you to Kaira and Kharmony who role-modelled 

for our Year 5/6 and spoke first. It showed a lot 

of courage to stand up amongst your peers and 

mihi to everyone. 

After having a quick morning break with some 

kai our students followed whaia Fiona into the 

learning space where our students learned about 

māhinga kai and the history of the area. Our 

ākonga commented much about the interesting 

stories and had many questions about the 

māhinga kai. It was really awesome to see them 

so engaged. They learned a lot about the local 

area and how it has been shaped over time. 

After having a decent lunch break with some 

rolling down some slopes the ākonga went on a 

hikoi following the creek down to Hone Wetere 

Church. The students had just learnt about the 

church and as they followed the creek there, they 

were able to spot a lot of the native plants along 

the way. This was a great experience for them as 

they also got to see some of the tāngata whenua 

who were buried next to the church. 

Following the hikoi our students then made 

their way back to the marae where they thanked 

and were farewelled by whaea Fiona. They then 

performed the haka to show our appreciation for 

the cultural experience they had given us. 

The senior Kapa Haka group performed at Tūhono on Saturday 25th November in the Full Primary School competition. The competition was tough, many of the schools 

having been in the competition for over 6 years or more, and this was Oakland’s first time competing at Tūhono. 

Oaklands Te Kura o Ōwaka had three amazing achievements in the afternoon: 

• We came 3rd overall at Tūhono, an amazing feat considering we had 

many schools who had won Tūhono in our category. 

• Our Waiata-a-ringa song Tenei Matou placed 2nd in the category. 

• Our Haka Tika Tonu was placed 3rd in the category. 

The Senior Kapa Haka group would like to acknowledge our amazing 

leaders who lead our group on stage, all of the tamariki stood up and 

performed to a packed crowd at the Town Hall, and Matua Steve, Mr 

Brown, Miss Booth, and Mr Meyrick for their time and effort in training 

the students. We are all extremely proud of our tamariki representing 

Oaklands Te Kura o Ōwaka on the big stage at Tūhono. 

We’ve already signed up for next year since we’ve had a taste of what’s 

coming....Watch out Tūhono, we’re coming for first next year!

Start a new 

Christmas tradition 

What could be better than starting some new family traditions this year? Christmas traditions are memories 

in the making and help spread a little festive cheer whether with your loved ones or out in the community. 

10 great ideas to help make Christmas a magical time of the year 

1. Create a Christmas playlist with some of 

your favourite carols and songs – play it 

loud and every day, if that’s your thing. 

Or plan a pre-Christmas sing-along 

evening – don’t forget to supply the song 

sheet so everyone can join in too. 

2. Get into the spirit of Christmas by getting 

together with family or friends to help 

decorate each other’s houses – turn up 

the music, drink the wine and go all out 

to deck the halls. 

3. Make and send homemade Christmas 

cards – there’s nothing more exciting 

than getting mail, right? Or how about 

writing some generic ones and dropping 

them into your nearest retirement 

home to brighten up an elderly person’s 

Christmas. 

4. Buy your family Christmas tee-shirts or 

Santa hats to wear on the day and don’t 

forget to take a family selfie. 

5. Fill a shoebox with gifts for a child, wrap 

it with a bow, and deliver to the nearest 

community gift tree – check with your 

local library and label with age and 

gender. 

6. Have a yearly family, friends or neighbour 

outdoor games night with drinks and 

nibbles leading up to the big day – think 

Pétanque, hoopla, mini golf, giant chess, 

or croquet. 

7. Take a leaf out of Iceland’s traditional 

‘Jolabokaflod’ or Christmas Book Flood, 

and give a book as a gift on Christmas 

Eve each year – don’t forget to write 

inside the cover who it’s from and the 

date. 

8. Make a list of must see Christmas movies 

to watch a week before Christmas day 

and tick off the ones you’ve watched. 

Don’t forget the popcorn and hot 

chocolate or nibbles and wine. 

9. Make and give a handmade ornament 

as a gift each year – the lucky receiver’s 

Christmas tree will be covered with 

beautiful, handmade memories. 

10. Make homemade hot chocolate on 

Christmas Eve or on Christmas morning 

to drink while the presents are being 

opened – decorate with whipped cream, 

grated chocolate, marshmallows, or 

crushed candy canes.

Shops bursting with 

festive gift ideas 

The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making up the 

Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you haven’t already done so. 

Finding those special gifts and stocking fillers as 

well as the Christmas treats for the table is so easy at 

our city’s malls and shopping centres, where the shops 

are bursting with festive merchandise. 

Every woman likes to receive body pampering 

gifts, and there is a huge selection of these priced 

to suit all budgets at the many pharmacies and gift 

shops around the city. Perfume is another favourite 

and again there is a wide selection to choose from, 

ranging from exciting new releases to the well-known 

fragrances that have stood the test of time. Lingerie, 

jewellery, fashion accessories, homewares and decor 

items – there’s no end to the ideas for the women on 

the list. 

The men are equally well catered for, from the 

sophisticated metro-male boyfriends, to the car-crazy 

brothers and the DIY enthusiast and keen gardener 

husbands and dads. Choose from clothing, books, 

tools, personal grooming items and gadgets to put a 

smile on their face on Christmas morning. 

Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families more joy 

than seeing the excitement of the children opening 

their presents. Whether they are delivered by Santa 

or snuck under the tree by mum and dad, the cuddly 

toys, games, dolls and building blocks, the candy 

canes, toy trucks and pretty dresses currently filling 

the shops will bring squeals of sheer happiness from 

the smallest family members. 

The tweens and teens usually have their own ideas 

about what they want for Christmas, so the gift cards 

offered by a wide range of retailers are the perfect way 

to please.

Just a little bit naughty 

Banana and chocolate 

chip mug cakes 

Serves 2 

Ingredients 

2 very ripe bananas, peeled 

2 eggs 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

25g butter, melted 

½ cup flour 

1 tsp baking soda 

1 tsp cinnamon 

pinch of salt 

½ cup milk chocolate chips 

walnuts, roughly chopped, to 

serve 

Cream cheese icing 

50g butter, melted 

100g cream cheese, at room temperature 

2 heaped Tbsp icing sugar 

Method 

• For the cream cheese icing, 

The creator of the sweet chilli jam, ham and cream 

cheese scrolls that went viral during lockdown, Kitty 

Williams, is sharing more of her “naughty, indulgent’’ 

recipes in her first cookbook, Kitty’s Kitchen: Just a 

Little Bit Naughty. 

The city centre resident started out with a 

sandwich making business, then a food truck, 

followed by a small catering business before she 

discovered the power of Instagram. It enabled her to 

fully indulge in her passion for “naughty ingredients”. 

As she says, “butter is good for the soul”. – ODT 

PHOTOS: CHRIS SHARPE 

put the butter in a small bowl. 

Heat in the microwave on high 

for 30 seconds or so, until melted. 

Add the cream cheese and icing 

sugar. Whisk until smooth then 

set aside. 

• Mash the bananas in a large 

bowl until smooth. Add eggs, 

vanilla essence and melted butter 

and stir until well combined. 

• Sift in the flour, baking soda, 

cinnamon and salt. Stir until well 

combined but take care not to 

over-stir. Fold in chocolate chips. 

• Divide the mixture between 

two mugs. One at a time, cook 

the mug cakes in the microwave 

for 2 minutes on high. (Every 

microwave is different so test after 

1 minute and go from there.) It’s 

better to be undercooked than 

overcooked – when you press 

the cake it should feel light and 

springy. 

• The cakes will be quite hot so 

it’s best to leave them for a couple 

of minutes to cool down slightly 

before icing. Pop the cream 

cheese icing into a snap-lock bag, 

or use a piping bag. You want 

to fill the corner. Twist the bag 

around until it feels tight, then 

snip the corner off using scissors. 

Do whatever design you desire, 

then top with the walnuts. 

Spicy prawn spaghetti 

with whipped parmesan 

ricotta 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

500g tomatoes, halved (I used 

vine tomatoes) 

1 red onion, roughly chopped 

4 garlic cloves 

2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar 

2 Tbsp olive oil 

500g ricotta 

150g Parmesan, grated 

juice of ½ lemon 

200g spaghetti 

2½ cups thawed frozen prawns, 

peeled and deveined 

1 tsp chilli flakes 

butter for cooking 

handful of parsley, roughly 

chopped 

handful of basil, roughly 

chopped 

handful of coriander, roughly 

chopped 

Method 

• Preheat the oven to 180°C. 

• Put the tomatoes, red onion, 

garlic, balsamic vinegar and a 

drizzle of olive oil in an ovenproof 

dish and season with 

salt and pepper. Give it a good 

toss then chuck in the oven for 

35-40 minutes. The tomatoes 

should collapse into a sauce by 

this point and the house should 

smell divine! 

• Put the ricotta, Parmesan, 

lemon juice, a pinch of salt and 

a glug of olive oil into a blender 

and blitz until smooth. 

• Bring a pot of water to the 

boil and add the spaghetti. 

Cook until al dente. 

• Drain, reserving a cup of the 

starchy cooking water. 

• Drain off any excess liquid 

from the prawns, then pat them 

dry with a paper towel. 

• Coat the prawns in chilli 

flakes then pop them into a 

hot pan with a knob of butter. 

Once the prawns are almost 

cooked (they should still be just 

a touch translucent), add the 

tomato sauce to the prawns, stir 

through, then add the spaghetti 

and the reserved starchy water. 

Turn off the heat and add all of 

the fresh herbs, then stir again. 

• Grab a large serving dish. 

Put the whipped Parmesan 

ricotta on first, then top with 

the prawn spaghetti.

Trailblazing Jeep Renegade leads the way 

THE ICONIC Jeep is trail blazing 

a new path for the brand as 

it enters for the first time the low 

emission world or electrification, 

by offering a plug-hybrid 

(PHEV) option across many of 

its models. 

The Renegade fires the opening 

shot in the new electrified 

Jeep range in the form of a 

$69,990 AWD plug-in hybrid 

being reviewed in this road test. 

It is pricey for an aging, small 

and quirky looking SUV. Carrying 

the 4xe badge, PHEV and EV 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

models will underpin the most 

efficient and environmentally 

responsible Jeeps ever. The company 

is shooting for the electrified 

stars and aiming to have EV 

offerings in each SUV segment 

in the next few years. It’s already 

started that journey here with 

the recent launched fully electric 

Avenger. 

4xe models offer strong performance 

and driving dynamics 

across the Jeep catalogue, from 

the Renegade to the Grand Cherokee 

and everything between. 

Each model features legendary 

4x4 abilities fine tuned for more 

than 80 years, while still an ideal 

choice for everyday city driving 

with an average all electric range 

of 45-50km. 

With E-Select modes – the 

4xe driver can tailor the hybrid 

power train to best suit each 

trip from daily commuting in 

pure-electric mode to extended 

Incorporating 

best motorbuys 

www.drivesouth.co.nz 

highway road trips with no range 

anxiety, except for the totally 

paranoid. All three modes are 

selectable via three buttons. In 

the test vehicle these are located 

in the centre console. 

The 4xe hybrid solution combines 

enhanced performance 

up to 177kW. This is a lot of 

power for a small SUV. Given 

its off-beat looks, it’s a performance 

wolf in sheep’s clothing. 

This impressive power output is 

achieved by pairing a 1.3-litre 

turbo petrol engine with an electric 

motor nestled between the 

rear axle, which is powered by an 

11.4kW battery that can be recharged 

while driving or through 

an external power outlet. 

While not the smoothest or 

sweetest sounding motor, it is, if 

nothing else a highly entertaining 

drive – a little less so when 

it runs out of battery power to 

hurry things along. A six-speed 

automatic does a competent 

enough job. The test vehicle’s 

transmission isn’t the most polished 

in its class, with a few more 

rough edges than you would 

expect given its lofty price tag. 

If you are looking for loads of 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 7; Handling 7; Build 

Quality 6; Comfort 6; Styling 6; Average fuel consumption 

on road test 6.1L/100km; Value for money 5; Safety – Five 

Star ANCAP crash rating. Qualifies for a $4025 clean vehicle 

rebate until Dec 31, 2023. 

Overall points out of 10: 6.5 

cargo and cabin space the Renegade 

offers little of either. Back 

seat passenger space is particularly 

tight, as is access in and out 

of the rear doors. When it comes 

to room it is shaded, or should 

that be eclipsed, by the cheaper 

top spec VRX Mitsubishi Eclipse 

PHEV. The passenger compartment 

design is neat, but a bit 

fussy looking and has a bit too 

much hard plastic trim on show 

for a vehicle in this price bracket. 

For a small SUV this one 

makes a big play for the safety 

tech high ground with standard 

features that include Full LED 

headlights, Forward Collision, 

Lane Departure Warnings and 

Traffic-Sign Recognition. Also 

making the safety cut for this 

model is Blind Spot Detection, 

Park View Rear Backup Camera 

with dynamic grid lines, and 

Keyless Go. 

Handling is safe and predictable 

while body roll in faster 

cornering is well contained. 

Generally the test vehicle felt 

as well-planted as much larger 

vehicles across a variety of surfaces. 

There is just enough road 

feel to keep you connected and 

involved in the steering action. 

Suspension noise in low speed 

around-town driving, especially 

when travelling over poor road 

surfaces, isn’t as well suppressed 

as it should be for small SUV 

with an almost $70k asking price 

on its head. 

My off-road rambling wasn’t 

extensive and limited to a couple 

of modest creek crossings and 

a similar number of some farm 

tracks that offered up a few steep, 

short, sharp and well-weathered 

gradients to test the Renegade’s 

mettle. These challenges were 

easily dispatched, and gave me 

a timely reminder of why Jeep 

has been an off-road champ for 

decades.
