I wonder how many people order a car without test driving one??

You can count me in that group.

I’d have had a hard time not at least sitting in one first. I was fortunate when the dealer got a demo OB in last year I got to take that around. Which answered all my questions really. So I didn’t drive a BL as I ended up ordering, but close enough.

It was love at first sight and I couldn’t be bothered….

I did at least sit in one and checked one out with the same kit.

Never drove one or sat in one until mine came in. It was a risk, but…..

Same here and I was pleasantly surprised!

First drive when I handed over my 43500 . 14 months ago , all good no complaints at all .

 

[WildFord]

wow, thanks for the quick responses...based on them, looks like many did not get to drive what you ordered.

I was fortunate to come across one almost same as I ordered, just without CMS, and had a short test drive. I just didn't want to pay what they were asking for.

then again, it's like test riding a mountain bike in a bike shop's parking lot.....it really only to confirm the bike fits and not how it will ride on the trail.

The ONLY one I could find locally was a base model. I test drove it and was pleased, especially knowing I'd be ordering the Outer Banks model. Anxious to see the difference when mine comes in, but it's been so long I won't really be able to compare it : )

Ok, now I've received a "your Bronco Sport has shipped email". Things are moving along nicely, finally.

Based on this map, I guess I should expect a call from the dealer in a couple of days LOL

It will be on a railcar, not a truck, at least not until the last few miles. There will probably be several transfers while on the railcar too. I saw one person on here show the railcar progress and it took several weeks to go to the Seattle area. The railcar transfers can take a few days at times. I wouldn't expect a call from your dealer for at least 3 weeks.

I was joking LOL ... I wish it was only a three day transit.

I did not realize, however, we can track the rail cars. I'd love a link if anyone has one.

Sweet! Now just a waiting game on transit time.

We are now at day 12 of "In Production". I love how the tracker says "Your order is being manufactured at one of our factories. This can take a few days".

My wife had been pretty mellow over the entire process, but once she got her Window Sticker and tracker update it has been nonstop checking email and tracker on the hour

To show that I am a supportive and caring husband I sent this to her

Here is a thread.

I wasn't sure if you were joking, but figured the info was good to post even if you were. It will be helpful to others.

Oddball thing today. My wife got an email from the dealership letting her know her order has an approximate ETA of May 16th to the 21st. She asked them if they meant build week since it still shows in production in tracker, sales rep responded saying the dates were for delivery and were confirmed by manager, though there is always the chance of shipping delays.

I have my doubts, but this would not be the first time we ordered a vehicle where tracking was way off.

I'm rooting for you.
