    The CR-V is 12" longer than the Bronco Sport. It has a lot more legroom in the backseat because of that I'm sure. The Passport has a ton of room back there for sure. It is nice to be able to slide the back seat back and forth. I haven't tried it yet, but the CR-V rear seats actually recline...

    Other than the thumbnail it's just video and pics of the current ridgeline. For the clickbait thumbnail they just grafted the front end of the current Ridgeline onto something else. Looks kind of like a Colorado except for the rear fender...

    Mostly psychological I guess. Honda depreciation is quite low. Not much taxes due to the trade in. Hell I paid zero in taxes on the BS because my trade in (19 ranger) was worth way more than the msrp. In WA you only pay sales tax on the difference when you trade in. So for the CR-V taxes were...

    Welp, no all new passport yet. I probably missed it because Honda doesn't show any sneak peaks for vehicles that aren't change specifically on their website. I have been checking their site for the upcoming vehicles which is where they preview all new model upgrades. I wonder if the Ridgeline is...

    The 24 passport isn't out yet. Nothing has even been announced about the 24 model. If it isn't discontinued it's a safe bet that it will move to the new Pilot platform with the new engine and 10 speed transmission. Barring a few style differences I imagine it will look similar to the Pilot. I've...

    2020 was just the second year of the Passport, obviously just a two row Pilot basically. So the tech and design goes back to 2016. The front end was refreshed for 2022 and the Trailsport was added. For this generation it's really just an appearance package though. I do like the smaller wheels as...

    I'm nerding out watching the power flow in the dash. It's kind of a game to get as much regen as possible. There is even a 'B' (battery) mode on the shifter that gives much more regen braking than normal. The Honda hybrid system is basically an engine that turns a generator to charge the...

    Our gas tax is high in Washington. Most of the stations around here (SE WA) are $4.89 and up. A few months ago I went to vancouver for a concert. Just across the bridge into portland, gas was $1 cheaper. The CR-V doesn't require premium but I still see prices not going down to what it was when I...

    I just traded mine for a CR-V Sport hybrid in urban gray pearl. Gas is $5 a gallon here (and no sign of it going down anytime soon) and I really like the idea of 40mpg around town. The CR-V looks really nice. Not as manly as the Bronco Sport but it's much more mature than it used to be and I...

    Who’s Waiting for a Bronco Sport Hybrid?

    I would love one. I live in WA and gas is nearly $5 a gallon. I don't see it coming down any time soon. As much as I love my Bronco Sport, I am actually looking at replacing it with a Honda CR-V sport hybrid. I like Hondas and we've had a few CR-V's over the years that were my wifes car. I...

    Ford Dealer Wants $75K For $46K Bronco Sport Heritage Edition

    The 23 is vastly improved over the previous gen since it's based on the Civic rather than the Fit. The 2.0 is an improvement over the 1.8 but not by much. Most people expected the 1.5T in the higher trims like the Civic but I guess they feel the 2.0 is adequate. It certainly feels a little...

    2023 Bronco Sport Big Bend Tow Hitch

    It was included in my deal because the original one I reserved had the factory tow package and it had some problem with it so they couldn't sell it. They got a similar one from another dealer but it didn't have the tow packaage. I believe they said it would have been $750 parts and labor.

    Ford Dealer Wants $75K For $46K Bronco Sport Heritage Edition

    The cvt isn't that bad with the 1.5 turbo the civic, accord and the cr-v. Engines that have good low end torque like turbos make it livable. The lower torque at higher rpm's with NA engines aren't really a good match for a cvt. Alternatively, I like the power of the Passport's V6 but that 9...

    Ford Dealer Wants $75K For $46K Bronco Sport Heritage Edition

    Our honda dealer here sells at MSRP. They got me a red passport trailsport last year from another dealer and values were so high at the time I was about $4k in positive equity on the 2020 passport we traded in. Then last september traded our 2020 hrv for a 2023 hrv. At the time they were selling...

    Anyone install a tuning kit?

    I've tuned mine with tunes from 5 star tuning using an SCT BDX. Even the base 87 octane tune provides noticeable gains. It really goes with the 91 octane, but I am currently running the stock tune because I have had a few issues with the transmission not shifting. Super random and may not happen...

    What did you own before your Bronco Sport?

    Holy cow it's a long list especially if I include the vehicle my wife drives, but I'll just list the ones I drove primarily. I'm 51. First car was a 1980 chevy Citation in 1990. Then an 86 Nissan 200SX, 95 Camaro, 96 Camaro, 98 S-10, '00 Mustang, 01 Mustang GT, 95 Chevy Blazer (got married and...

    What made you buy the Bronco Sport?

    I went to the dealer to check out a maverick as they were first trickling in. I had a 2019 ranger which I really liked but wasn't exactly comfortable as a daily driver and I wanted something cheaper that got better gas mileage. Three things I needed was push button start, AWD and blind spot...

    Ford Bronco Sport Extended Warranty at $25 over Cost!

    What I meant was that the price does not increase because of the age of the vehicle until it is 1 year old. Not that prices never increase or are locked in. It's why it asks you if you are still within 12 months of in service date when you get the quote. I don't remember what the price was when...

    Ford Bronco Sport Extended Warranty at $25 over Cost!

    The price does not increase during the first 12 months of ownership. After that it starts to cost more. I waited until the day before the 1 year anniversary of my purchase to get mine from Zeigler. $760 for 6 years/60k. I basically just wanted to make sure I don't have to pay for any major...
