CR seems very fuel efficiency conscious. Meh. No one is buying a full sized Bronco because it sips fuel.

You're probably right on both ends.
Gas consumption/milage is a big part of our current reality... long gone are the days when gas was $0.25/gallon and most cars got less than 20+ miles/gallon. ?

I drive my family around a lot. It’s the IIHS rating that most impressed me. It’s less subjective.

Every review is subjective but it is interesting to read what each has to say and come to your own conclusion ?

IIRC
Cabin noise
Stiff ride
MIC top issue
2.7 engine issue
mileage

It all boils down to what suits the buyers wants and needs.

I have driven my bronco sport first edition for over a year now and have driven the larger outer banks and Big Ben and they are very nice and roomy and are great out in the woods over the hills definitely hill climbing vehicles . That is what I would have bought if that is what I needed and wanted to do . But I find my badlands first edition to be exactly what I ordered and what I wanted . So Consumers Reports is right for some people and wrong for others . Just my spin . Thanks

Interesting thanks for sharing. I shouldn’t be surprised, I’m guessing they’re evaluating the pair from the perspective of suburban driving, which is probably the use case for many of these. The BS offers lower initial cost & better economy & honestly if you’re not going to use it off road (And I’m assuming they didn’t test off road) it probably does fit their test case much better.

Thanks. Or basically it’s a summary as to why I chose the BS over the full size. Lol. Actually it’d be interesting to see them do off road evaluation & testing, but that’s probably better left to other publications.

Actually I am into my bs at a total of 43,670 and had a Big Ben at a little lower price than that . Oh that would be the full size bb . I hear what you are saying .

I chose BS because I could get one faster. ?

Almost to five months since initial order and no scheduled build…

Care to add to this? I get that some of the ratings they post are subjective, but stuff like reliability and cost of ownership is based on data.

I quit reading anything from them years ago. They seemed to be biased towards advertisers/influencers more so than actually providing honest reviews.
