I don't think it sounds snobbish - different people are just able to take different strategies.
For me I have no fear of buying used because I know I can handle whatever mechanical issues arise. Part of that confidence is a result of very careful research and consideration of what particular...
I think I see why you’re saying this, but no I don’t think it’s really about just being able to “afford” it.
I could have “afforded” a new car many years ago but chose not to buy new because I could get something “better” or afford to do different things by using the money elsewhere and putting...
Now that is a good reason! I dig it.
although I didn’t follow the entire story as closely as you did, I think I was always “hoping” in my mind that there would be a new Bronco someday.
I'm curious to know who else is like me - the 6G Bronco will be my first NEW vehicle!
Why will the 6G Bronco be your first NEW vehicle?
I hardly ever own new things. I have a '79 Bronco, '03 Excursion, and '04 Camry in my stable. All bought used. Lawn mowers, trailers, snowblowers...
SOOOOO... Now that we're all getting a "GLIMPSE" of what the auto / 2.7L prices COULD be from all these surveys... is anyone changing their mind?
Asking $3,500 additional for the auto + 2.7l definitely makes me happy that I've been after a manual since day 1.... That can buy me a lot of cool...
Scotty Kilmer's opinions carry as much weight as the 8.5x11" sheet of paper on my desk...
And that "motor biscuit" article is just awful. Essentially all 1 sided opinions with little to no data or facts to back anything up... Keep scrolling at the above link and you'll soon know why "The Ford...
My conclusion exactly.
I'm definitely in for the 2.3L / Manual - reliability or no reliability concerns. Our family is a manual family therefore if my sons cannot learn to drive a manual then they can walk to school ;)
More seriously - my wife and I truly enjoy driving manual cars, and...
I have read that article before, which is fascinating by the way. However, either I can't read, or that article doesn't contain any information on 2.3L engine or manual transmission reliability or durability.
Can you point me to some quotes?
God can say what he wants, all others must bring data :LOL:
Seriously - it does no one any good to make these kind of claims without backing them up. If you want to actually help someone here, try sharing links to factual information so we can also learn from the source.
And I don’t want to...
I can understand why some people feel that it matters and some people don't.
To me what matters is the clarity with which they draw the line between 2021 and 2022 models, and with how they control 2021 vs. 2022 feature content availability. If they don't take a good approach here, they will...
