Hi Folks
I put the 100 deposit down on a Bronco Sport back in September. I currently have a 2012 Mini Cooper Clubman manual with 170,000 that has been good to me but doesnt have much more time left on the road. Prior to the Mini I had a Subaru Outback 06 xt that i had fun with and sold once it reached 180k. Im ready for a new car not necessarily something Im gonna keep for 10 years, maybe 3-5. Im a little nervy about buying a car the first year it comes out( if there are glitches). Reasons I want a Bronco Sport....I love camping and roadtrips, I have a 90 pound german shepherd, ilike the simplicity, design, functionality of the sport and trad bronco.. Reasons I might not want one....mpg and price point not great as far as incentives and OTD offerings.That being said Im a no frills kinda gal. My first car i bought in the 80s was a 73 Ghia and I had that baby for almost 20 years. It was fun to drive ( you could talk and drive and listen to music and drive but not do all 3)Loud, simple and fun! I have test driven jeeps and they are ok(but not my thing)I went the complete opposite direction and test drove a Honda CRV today. The CRV was smooth, had great cargo space, great mpg and the interior was really nice.The trim above base model is OTD 3,000 bones less than the Big Bend MSRP( not including taxes)The CRV also is sooo boring. So convince me why I should get the Sport or wait for the Bronco. Im just a working shlub who works at a school and the last time I checked money wasn't falling off trees. I am fortunate to have been employed this past year and I am grateful. Oh one more thing i'm commuting to my school about 400 miles a week now. This time next year i hope to put on half as many miles a week. Thanks in advance everyone.
