Now that I've had the Bronco Sport for a bit:
It's a really nice vehicle with a couple really nasty flaws.
It handles great, excellent both on the highway and around town.
Good gas mileage, would probably be better if not for my very heavy right foot.
The seats took me a while to find the right position for me, (back and leg issues), but I've found the happy spot.
Love the heated steering wheel, the controls are intuitive.
The turning radius is awesome. Love being able to turn on a dime.
Hate........
Nannies.
I drive long distances, frequently by myself. The Sync nannies preventing me from changing/searching for music really piss me off.
I don't need a warning to check my back seat. Thank you idiots, the nanny state and lawyers for making that a requirement.
And finally, details.
USB outlets in the center bin........in direct path from the cupholders. What happens when you have to slam on the brakes and you have a cup of coffee in the cupholders? The USB outlets get a bath. Electronics don't LIKE liquids.In my Dodge, the USB outlets that comment to the infotainment system are in the center armrest. In my F150, they're under the center storage in the dash. Is it really that difficult to put them in a protected spot?
Windshield wipers......
They're deep under the back of the hood.
Anyone care to guess how much of a PITA it is to clear that after a nice wet snow freezes? They really didn't think that one through.
Plastics in the interior.....
Nice feel, but good god they mark easily.
All in all, it's a nice small SUV.......that won't be in my driveway long. For everything I like about it, the flaws and poor design choices make it a poor choice for me.
