Geez this guy is a pile of negative...

[Summit]

Yes and even about the Bronco Sport
Let's face it - I've never owned a car that didn't have some issues. But you have to drive it and no one wants
to drive and pay for something they don't like.
Having said that I think there is some generalization here
but he does hit some concerns about each vehicle.
He doesn't like he Bronco Sport much either. He may not have even driven one or had a chance to go off road.
But I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion even if it is only going by statistics or harping on the negative feedback of some owners.
For me, I love both our Bronco Sports and the wife has been really happy with hers.

He talked of that BS with the Escape set up but that was a Badlands with the beefier suspension.

We own a 5th Gen Suburban and a 21 BS BB, so I guess we aren't educated car buyers. Of course we've had none of the problems that our Canadian reviewer mentions. This guy sounds like his U Tube review is based upon U Tube research. I hate conclusions based upon opinion research, so I consider his reviews to be opinions at best and more like click bait. Move on, eh?

Don't be afraid to give them a thumbs down. I've seen YouTube reviews which were clear hacks and the "reviewers" certainly had never driven or even seen the car. They had mixed pictures and videos of the full size Bronco seats and dash mixed into their review, which they took from media releases and other YouTube reviews.

And then there are those that provide inaccurate statistics on horsepower, screen sizes, towing limits, and even recommending things that the owner's manual warns against, such as hanging things from the handles on the hatch. Yep, that's a thing!
Thumbs down and comment on why I gave them a thumbs down. They can reply to my criticsm if they want, but they were still wrong.

This site is nothing but negative a lot of the time. Everyone with an issue seems to create an account just to come in here and complain. Yes it is frustrating totally understand that. But is this the first time people have owned a car that has ever had an issue? On top of that they have unreasonable expectations even after it's fixed. Glad I don't have to interact with customers. Consumers are so dang entitled these days.

It is EXACTLY why forums exist. You either praise the vehicle, or announce your displeasure. It's up to the members on the forum to move on if they are bothered by the negative.

I love my BSBB. Those YT reviews get tiring. This forum has so much more comprehensive info. I can't tell all of you how much useful info I have obtained here.

 

[Luis@UG]

IMO, there's a reason why people like him will make videos like that. For the CLICKS, VIEWERS, SHARES and COMMENTS. YouTube track that, the more of the ones mentioned before, the person get $$$.
Totally agree with @Bucko . That's why Forums were created. To share personal/ business/ companies comments and information; supervised by one or a group (administrator(s)) to keep it polite.

I always say, Did you made my decision of acquiring this vehicle? Are you doing the monthly payments or paying for the aftermarket parts? Most of the time, the answer is no.
I take the good opinions and comments only.

Luis ?

I'm ok with people expressing their dislike. Lately it's the entitlement. You had an issue, Ford fixed it, yet they still cry that they should have done more for being inconvenienced. No wonder dealers charge so much for repairs, the time they have to invest to fend off the complainers.

This is one of the down sides of reading forums like this. A reader hears about a dealership that provides EXCEPTIONAL service and feels Ford should guarantee everyone gets that level of service. Ford doesn't own the dealerships that provide service for its vehicles, and until that's the case there will always be variations in service quality from one dealership to the next. I'm not sure I like the idea of Ford owning all of its service providers.

Tbh I’m one of those that are not happy with my Bronco rn, but I’m choosing to keep it all to myself instead of making a giant thread on here complaining about my displeasure because what’s the point?

So sorry to hear about you not being happy with the Bronco Sport. I think among most vehicles across the board there are certainly going to be some that just don't measure up - maybe due to
Push to get production through with some badly manufactured parts, human error and end up on some of the models. With the plethora of sensors and connections there are surely going to be some vehicles within their model line and trim levels that will suffer.

We have 2 of these and so far very good luck.
I think at the end of the day the thing that concerns me most is the lack of mechanics that are going to be able to diagnose and fix issues as they arise and having the parts available when needed.

We've owned many brands over the years and really keep up on maintenance - but believe me all cars have issues. Just hope when ours arise on our Bronco Sports we will have good luck with the repairs we can't do ourselves.

Don't even listen to this guy. He's just wrong, just by the things he said you can tell he's an idiot who's probably just googling a few things on Google and making a video to make some easy money. He has no idea he compared a Toyota Tacoma to a bronco sport. Those are nowhere near in the same class. Also, he's calling it a minivan. What planet is he living on that this would ever be considered a minivan and he's not bringing up the differences in engines. Yes, the 1.5 has had some engine issues but the 2.0 is proven and doesn't and the broncos sport, depending on which trim you get and its options, they both start about the same price and the bronco sport can go a little higher just because it has a few extra options that cost more than some of the options on the escape. But the escape ends at 41kish and the broncos sport ends at 46kish and that's for a heritage limited which has every option imaginable. If you just do a fully loaded badlands, I think it ends at like 43kish.

So I would say, and keep in mind this is the only video I've ever seen on this guy, disregard this guy and listen to someone like TFL who actually knows what they're talking about and drives cars before they review them and is much more enjoyable to watch.
