6583. That's how many miles I put on my Bronco Sport in a little over a month. I took possession on 22 June and left on a cross country road trip on the 25th. Florida to Wyoming and back. A few disappointing features of the Bronco: Rear view camera at night gets distorted by the back up lights. I read somewhere that there may be a cover for the camera that some install for more rugged off-road travels. The fold down rear seats don't fold to a flat surface. Unable to play IPOD classic. I have over 16000 songs on my IPOD Classic and was disappointed that I couldn't get the Bronco's system to recognize it when I plugged it in. The biggest concern is the blind spot caused by the rear view mirror and the huge mounting system used for the mirror. I was making some very sharp hairpin turns in the Rocky Mountains and The Black Hill and the Smoky Mountains and trying to see what is coming up around the curve when descend the mountains was not only difficult but aggravating. Also the whole rear view mirror monstrosity hinders reading signs at highway speeds when they are to the right of the driver.
That being said, I did like the gas mileage, according to the dash display I was averaging 30.2 miles per gallon. Smooth ride and the times I was off road the vehicle handled quite well. Overall it was a good month and a half road trip. Only casualty was a chipped windshield from a passing truck in Wyoming. I'm pretty satisfied with the Bronco Sport.
