If your AC is on max, then the auto start stop doesn’t kick in. I always have max ac on so I don’t remember the last time it shut off my engine. If you live in a colder state, that’s probably not possible though. There is a button you can press to turn it off, however you have to push it every...

I don’t like the steelies on the badlands (or on any vehicle to be honest), but I think being painted black with the red trim like in the picture below makes them look pretty good. Give me an all black sport with those wheels/tires and that grille and that would be a pretty sweet ride.

Don’t turbos normally do worse in altitude?

The trailblazer also starts at $19k and tops out around 33k. The bronco sport starts at 26k and tops out around 40k. That’s a pretty big price difference. Even though the sport and trailblazer are relatively the same size, I think the approach gm and ford took are completely different. To me...

I’ve never seen the 180 camera in action. How does it work? Does it just show you what’s in front of you while driving at slow speeds? ive never had the 360 camera either but I’d assume it would be helpful with parking, although parking shouldn’t be that big of an issue in the sport anyways. It...

This might not be a popular opinion here, but I think the collectibility will be minimal. That’s not a knock on the sport, I think it’s a great vehicle, but I just don’t see it being a collectible any more than the Jeep Compass or bronco II are collectibles. Just for reference, I saw a 2008...

I just noticed that the top part of the seats is also a suede like material so that reflects the light a little differently too.

Is this the badlands leather interior? Maybe the color is off in the picture, but these looks lighter than I thought they’d be.

You could be right. I didn’t get a chance to drive the 1.5 on the highway, but I drive on a toll road daily where the speed limit is 85 mph. I have no problem accelerating or passing people at those speeds with the 2.0. id suggest test driving an escape to see if you like it. My experience...

I had a 2020 escape with the 1.5 as a rental when they first came out. Power seemed fine but there’s a big difference between it and the 2.0 (I currently have the 2.0L in an older escape and drove them back to back). I found the 1.5L to be loud and had a lot of vibrations, at least compared to...

I keep all my vehicles for around 5 years or 100k miles and drive them daily. I had one key die on me, but that was after 6 years. After googling, looks like 3 to 4 years is about average. I guess I’m just lucky lol.

It’s a good idea, but there’s just not a need for it. Out of all the vehicles I’ve owned, I’ve never had to change the battery in a key fob.

Yes, the sport is taller than the competitors. That added height is what gives it more cargo volume. For example, the sports cargo area could be shorter in depth than the forester, but since it’s taller, it could have more cargo volume. I think some L*W*H dimensions would be helpful for you...

Not sure if this had been mentioned or not yet, but thought some of you might want to know this. https://www.motor1.com/news/445052/ford-bronco-sport-no-flat-towing/

Now you are making me want cereal ???

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with liking a smaller screen. 8” screens have treated me right for years, but for me there are two main advantages of larger screens: 1) larger buttons on a touch screen are easier to find and touch which means less time looking at the screen and more time...

All black looks pretty good on the sport.

The ranger is getting redesigned in MY2023 (for the US at least. Rest of the world will get the redesign next year I believe), so it makes sense it will carry on with sync 3. Usually these upgrades roll out with refreshes or redesigns. Im pretty excited for the next ranger. Enough so that I’m...

My theory was that sync 4 hardware/software wasn’t ready yet (possibly bugs or supply issues) or that they had a bunch of sync 3 units they needed to get rid of. The bronco, f150 and Mach e all have screen sizes that sync 3 doesn’t support, so they are prioritized for the sync 4 units. your...

If you look at my post, I say hardware and software. The bronco sport will get sync 4 eventually just like all other ford’s. Since you can’t upgrade sync 3 to sync 4, if you buy a sport now, you will be missing out on those features. You might not find those features to be worth it, but im sure...
