Positive Review
I had a 18 honda crv and felt bored and everyone has one. This suv was definitely not the crown honda raves about. Seen a bad lands 6 weeks ago and became obsessed. After looking I realized you cannot get one easy. 4 weeks, 118 miles and buying sight unseen or have driven one I bought it over the phone. This is not me or my personality. I crewed off every finger nail till I got to the dealership. I seen my grey cactus waiting for me. Feel in love from that day on. No issues with it in 5 weeks. I get looks and stopped weekly with questions. People go nuts and want my opinion. Only car I look at daily and drive that I havea huge smile. Love the 2.0 v4 turbo. It flies. Not a single regret and thank you ford for my love.
Critical Review
Ordered a lovely cyber orange color Bronco sport , production delays and i’m still waiting. I see stock car getting to dealers but not my customer order. It’s a fairly simple Badlands version with a tow package . I found almost the same suv just delivered to a dealer but without the tow package AND a $5000 over sticker cost! (Where’s mine?). If I’m going to spend $40k on a vehicle I’m not buying off the lot and getting more or less that I want , I expect to have this car for 15 years as my retirement vehicle and don’t want to live with a compromise! Fortunately I can wait. But it’s disappointing to see stock builds getting priority over a customer order. I guess Ford wants to protect their dealers who are struggling with lack of product to sell. Maybe I can update this if I ever get to drive it!

Roof is noisy
We’ve had a 2021 Bronco First Edition (4dr) since it was new. I found the transmission is very smooth, the gearing is great, and engine is powerful enough for what it is. The engine and exhaust sounds very good - not too much noise but enough to put a smile on your face. Despite all the naysayers, Ford did a good job with this rig. The only quirky things I’ve noticed is the frameless windows are finicky and require a reset every now and then. And the interior can be bit noisy at freeway speeds due to the modular top.
Been looking for a manual transmission bronco and finally purchased. It’s fantastic, be aware some of the manuals have an issue with the transmission in 1st and second gear when it’s cold out so I would test drive before buying and do research. Luckily it’s an easy fix if it is an issue.
The Everglades could have easily been 10-15k more expensive with all the additional perks you get for free. The versatile truck is amazing 10 out of 10
Off-Higway capability, heated seats and steering wheel
Roof latches keep unsecuring
We purchased our 2024 Bronco Wildtrak in February 2024 and have had it just shy of 9 months and just shy of 9,000 miles. This is hands down one of the best vehicles I have owned! To this date it is mechanically perfect, on par with any Toyota I have owned (I did have an '87 Ford Mustang which was just as flawless). It is so much fun to drive and my wife loves driving it too, more than the 2015 Corvette Stingray we sold to purchase it. We have been on plenty of one-day off-highway adventures and the Bronco has performed flawlessly. We regularly go to the San Bernardino Mountains and Joshua Tree National Park. Plenty of driving in the snow, sand, dirt, rocks, mud puddles and fire roads. We have all the recovery equipment, but have never used any of it once (better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it!). Mileage is rated at 17 mpg, but we have averaged over 18 mpg for almost 9,000 miles. We have the Lux and Sasquatch package. The heated steering wheel and heated front seats are phenomenal. They heat up fast and hot! We have the hard top and what wind noise there is doesn't bother us a bit. My only gripe is that two of the latches that secure the mid roof panel to the rear roof panel continually become unlatched, specially when off roading. I think some electrical tape around the movable latch part will keep it secure. I have looked on the forums to find a solution, but there aren't any. I would purchase this vehicle all over again in a heartbeat and if you buy one, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Comfort, gas mileage, safety features, cargo room

I absolutely love my Bronco Sport. Very comfortable ride and with the lane centering/ adaptive cruise control option, it's incredible on road trips. I've had no problems with the vehicle and constantly get better gas mileage than EPA ratings. Best vehicle I've ever owned.
The best Ford vehicle ever built... in every respect! Traded in a Wrangler and never looked back. This thing makes the Jeep look like junk. They improved and fixed every flaw in the Jeep. Buy one if you can!!!
Fun to drive, turns heads. Goes almost anywhere a wrangler will go, off road but it’s much more enjoyable to drive on the road than the junky Jeep.
Everything
Nothing
Drives so much better than a jeep Wrangler, Sorry. I used to rave about Jeeps. Ford has 1 up the norm. Competition breeds innovative ideas, so,... Let's see where this goes.. For now driving my Bronco is meditation 🧘♂️.
