After 3 months of ownership of a 21 Bronco Sport Badlands I have compiled a short list of my impressions:
The Good:
Damn impressive off & on road: was not expecting much on either, but it really handles everything I've thrown at it on both.
Very peppy (2.0 4 cyl) in sport mode.
Comfort is very good for a small vehicle.
Tech is unbelievable for the price: GOAT Modes work as they should, cameras front & rear, and Copilot 360 is amazing!
People are constantly wanting to look at it: never have seen one and are impressed with all equipment/tech it contains for the price plus styling. Jeep better watch out!
The Bad:
Brake pedal too small and too close to accelerator for me: I use two foot driving method and find myself constantly having issues. One foot drivers probably would never notice.
The hidden wipers in the cowl: Only discovered this in the past few weeks with the snow we've had, but you CANNOT get it cleaned out and get to the wipers when packed with snow. Huge design failure in my mind.
The rear hatch doesn't go high enough for a normal person (6 ft)
The Ugly
Well except for a Code ID10T error where one opens the sunroof with snow on it which ends up in the cabin, I can't think of anything other than..
People constantly are confusing the Bronco Sport with the Bronco: blaming Ford on that and...
Overall, I've been fairly impressed for what it is: a small front wheel bias CUV, with a reasonable price and very capable off road manners.
Full disclosure: I have a 21 Bronco on order, (and yes I'm on Bronco6g) this Bronco Sport just fell into my lap so speak (was a dealer loaner and dealership was being sold so they were unloading their loaner fleet) and with the expected delays of the 21 Bronco, I wanted something for the summer that was a tad smaller then the Raptor (yeah pretty much everything) for the CO trails.
