Our E-ZPass is mounted next to the bank of sensors behind the rearview mirror and has worked fine from day one. However, we use these stick-on windshield tags for entering and exiting our parking garage at home, and we've been having intermittent trouble with the one that permits exit from the...
There are some changes in paint color availability for the Maverick with two new colors, four deletions and a couple of colors that are now fleet only. One might speculate that since the Bronco Sport and the Maverick are built at the same plant, these changes might apply to the Bronco Sport as...
I've had a few people ask about it, but it feels like they're becoming a lot more common these days, as I've been seeing them far more frequently in the last six months or so than I did before.
I've been partial to this $10 titanium bottle opener that I keep on my keychain. I got tired of replacing those aluminum keychain bottle openers after they get all chewed up and worn out after a year or two, and this thing is nearly indestructible:
That's certainly a better result than they got with the new Dodge Hornet a couple of weeks ago! One of the tests really messed up or at the very least confused that car's electronics.
No near-death experiences for me recently *knock on wood* but commuting here in DC I see close calls every single day. I have to brake suddenly, swerve out of the way of other vehicles and/or lay on my horn daily. Drivers are absolutely insane around here and you constantly have to be on high...
The miles to empty reading on my Badlands is certainly pretty misleading at the moment. Yesterday it said 92 miles left before I drove 3.5 miles to work, and when I got home, it said 61 miles.
Once production finally meets demand for regular customers, it would be nice to see Ford build a work truck/commercial edition of the Bronco Sport. I've noticed that our local police department now has a fleet of Escapes for lighter duty work, and I think a stripped down Bronco Sport—think XL...
I would love it if there was a simple, retractable cargo cover available as an accessory.
And bring back Grabber Green! I think this color would look great on the Sport:
I inadvertently ordered the carpeted mats, because since they were an option, I assumed that the vehicle didn't include any mats as standard. I figured I'd maybe swap out the rubber mats for carpeted ones in the summer, but I like the durability of the rubber mats so much that I may just end up...
That's a good point. The Mustang hangs on and keeps on improving while holding on to a lot of retro cues. We owned a 2011 convertible for 12 years and loved it.
It will be interesting to see what kind of lifespan the current crop of retro-themed vehicles (Scout, Bronco and the Bronco Sport) end up having over time. Vehicles that relied heavily on nostalgia like the New Beetle, Chevy HHR, PT Cruiser and Thunderbird revival only remained popular for so...
My parents bought a brand new, very early 1984 XLT in 1983. I don't remember the details but there was an issue from the beginning with it being difficult to start—this was before they had electronic fuel injection, mind you—and Ford was never able to correct it. The paint started peeling after...
