10-day review - 2025 Ford Bronco Sport

It is, at least cute to look at. I wonder if they prove to be durable if not refined? Good snow vehicle?
 
The only Ford I have an interest in is the Maverick, but the price on it has been creeping up. Considering you can get a Colorado for $5k more, it loses it's appeal.
 
I had one of these for a few months back in 2022 when I worked for a construction company in Milwaukee. At the time the bronco was the "it" vehicle that had just been released and my work vehicle Bronco Sport drew much attention with people asking me about it regularly.

I was not impressed at all in any way with the vehicle itself. It did have the three cylinder engine which was not as bad as I might have expected but I would say that it was only adequate at best in terms of performance and nothing special in terms of fuel economy. I would never buy one of these things, maybe I would take one as a rental but that's about it.
 
Looks count for something, and this falls short:

Was it a 24 or 25? The new 25 dash is ugly, you have to use the tablet for everything. And I agree about the engine when I test rode one years ago. It was crude sounding and gutless!

Well I'll chime in because I was a long time researcher of this new Ford Bronco before they came out. I almost pulled the trigger and put money down on one.

But I woke up and realized that at 18 MPG that would not cut it for me with stop and go traffic.

I looked at all the different models and realized if you're going to go with the Bronco you might as well go big! Just like a jeep! If I went with the Jeep it would be a Rubicon all the way.

So I decided on the Sasquatch Edition as my go-to, and then took a ride a few and realized that my dream was over and I woke up:-)
i was not going to spend 80 grand for a gas guzzling ground pounding daily commuter.
i Stayed with my Toyota 4Runner until I sold it, and now drive a RAV4! Oh wonderful, being facetious but I'm retired now and don't drive much so I've gotten over all of the off-road Shenanigans here in the Flatlands of Suburbia.

Thanks for sharing. My wife likes them, but she also knows no more Fords. I'll give them a slight glimmer of hope and add, unless they make some major improvements. I have my doubts. Flame suit on.

Sounds like I been following almost the same exact path (Bronco research-really wanted one) and I too could in no way justify the purchase of what they sadly are calling a Ford Bronco (ex owner of a full size for years). Also looking hard to Toyota after oldest son been showing off to me their Rav4. We just have not pulled the trigger yet but the wife and I tend to believe the Rav4 is what we want to own next also.
 
My biggest beef with it is the name. Even on an enthusiast forum like this we have posts discussing the wrong vehicle. And every Bronco thread I’ve seen on here is the same way.

I don’t like using the Mustang name on the EV SUV either but at least people don’t get them confused with each other.

Ford should have brought back the Pinto name for the Bronco Sport.

Kidding! 🤣
