  1. Fuel economy has improved after a week at the dealer

    I am not sure what happened with my '21 BB. I had the car in for a failed ignition coil. When I got it back I noticed they did the recall catheter thing and replaced a cylinder deactivation solenoid. The coil that was causing a misfire was changed too. Now, my avg MPG is up to 29 from 27. Doing...
  2. 5Star Tuning Bronco Sport 1.5L EcoBoost dyno results

    Couple of bolt ons with a tune and Mountune gets 250hp out of the motor in a puma/fiesta. With warranty.
  3. New Trim lines?

    This would be much better. There are way too many off road vehicles already. Lower it a bit, stiffen it up, a couple more HP. Throw in a new goat mode that's like sport but with tcs off. Call it Rally. Some cosmetic stuff to differentiate it in the line up.
  4. Rumor: A 2 Door Bronco Sport is Also Coming!

    I don't use the rear doors or seats much but I don't think there is much to gain by having a shorter wheel base version. Maybe they want to do a world version and compete with the Suzuki Jimmy or something.
  5. Does this rear end look right?

    Are we talking about the aluminum control arms? Isn't it a bit of a flex to have that in this car class? Most cars would have it painted to protect the steel from rust. We don't need that.
  6. Mid-Atlantic getting heavy smoke from Canadian WIldfires. Comparison to clear fall day in October '22.

    NYC was looking like Mars. Glad I still got them n95s. My throat still itchy.
  7. Unpopular opinion: Am I the only one who enjoys the sound of the EcoBoost I-3? What's your thoughts on the 1.5L?

    3 cylinders sound better than 4, all else equal. Just like the VAG 5 cyl, odd number is quirky and interesting. The new GR Corolla sounds amazing.
  8. Can I really be the only one?

    Mine is in the shop right now for possibly failed ignition coil. 2 years and 34k miles, I still think it's a very reliable car. I don't baby it and floor it every day and take turns at the limits of traction. It's a tool, I use it.
  9. Got to meet the Engineering Team

    What components do they work on there?
  10. This could have replaced the 4runner

    Corporations just go where the money is. They don't really care about social justice or the environment. We are all cogs in a capitalist machine. But I'd rather have a diesel than an EV. At least you have biodiesel instead of lithium mining.
  11. Ever stopped to ask about your Bronco Sport?

    Damn I've been thinking about getting into birding for a while now.
  12. Facebook follies

    I wasn't being facetious in any way. If I had to tow a trailer that size with a bronco sport, I wouldn't have thought much about it. So I looked at the specs for EU Ford cars and there is nothing directly comparable to Bronco Sport. Combination of 1.5 or 2.0 gas engine with an automatic and all...
  13. Facebook follies

    Ok so I have a serious question because I don't know anything about towing. Why is bronco sport rated for only 2000 lbs? Over on the other side of the pond I'd see people towing with their Dacia dusters and Volvo wagons.
  14. Facebook follies

    What's the joke? What am I looking at?
  15. Bronco Sport Outer Banks - will it rally?

    I was just wondering the other day what O'Neil rally school would use now that Fiesta is not available in US. So many modern cars have these trick electronics that you have to know how to get around. And, yes, sport mode would be most appropriate for that dry stage. That would remove the...
  16. Let's see your rear or side window stickers!

    Lance Stroll. I don't have any stickers. I don't feel strongly enough about anything. Same reason I don't have tattoos.
  17. Start/Stop Thoughts

    Wasting nonrenewable resources and polluting the planet bothers me a lot. Especially when i am just sitting in the car waiting for a light to change. My old car didn't have this feature and I would manually shut off the car if I knew it will be a long wait. Maybe that's a bit unusual.
  18. How many members here are Married?

    We went down to city hall after 13 years together so that people would stop asking about it already.
  19. Average age of a Bronco Sport owner

    Haha. That's the only way I can afford to be where I am. No kids. My only hope is that the civilization will collapse by the time I decide to retire.
  20. Average age of a Bronco Sport owner

    They are marketing to younger people with active lifestyles but most of us don't have money to buy cars. Majority of new car buyers are in their 50s.
