Unbelievable the quality of Ford these days. My old Taurus, Montego over 14 years old still original seats with no tears. And they are not garage!
Thanks a lot Jim Farley!!!
U are not missing out on manual. Auto is way faster and smoother than manual.
Bronco's manual ain't as smooth like gr Corolla.... And stealerships want more money for manual vs auto!
Ford has been going down hill since idiotic-chinese-ev lover Jim Farley taken over. Today announcement to write off billions in EV loss when that kind of funds can be better channel to quality control and producing more exciting ice vehicles. Jim Farley fire yourself!
Your last statement pretty much sum it up with what's going on with today's world.
Nice cars are not being driven but kept as collection toys.
I decided not to do that crap decades ago after selling low miles original Integra type r and first amg Mercedes in USA.
Buy it and drive the crap...
No way Jose. The driveability is huge different for manual transmission. Older 2.3 felt like a dog and easy stumble if not enough throttle. New 2.3 feels like v6, very peppy even without much throttle
New 2.3 is almost like completely redesign engine.
Get a stripper base. Don't need all that mumbo jumbo crap options that will go wrong if it will go wrong with Ford these days on recalls.
Don't give Jim Farley the satisfaction of his over priced options to milk the dead cows.
There are simply no reasons why Ford is charging for basic safety...
No it's not rare when Ford is still producing broncos. Color is subjective. New 2.3 is day and night difference from old. I would not want to own older 2.3 after test driving the new 2.3!
Nobody gives cares what's practical or not when going for sports car like dark horse.
Driving sports car is about the enjoyment of the fast machine with human connection.
Your argument is not applicable especially u need AI to help you decide.
Sorry to hear your issues. It's a Ford, what will go wrong will go wrong.
Check with your state law if it's lemon eligible.
Or watch market condition and off load it without taking a bath in it.
Can only blame Jim Farley and those greedy union workers for not taking pride in building...
Do it if you can afford it. Nothing beats the sound of roaring twin throttle bodies coyote at high rpm!!!
I cannot believe the amount of negative opinions here about practicality or cost too much money... Blah blah blah...
Sport cars are never practical. They are for thrill and enjoyment...
This is free speech. Anybody can voice out their opinions based on frustration of sub standard products produced by Ford lately...
Ford beat every manufacturers as the most recalls.
Anybody will be frustrated to put up with bad quality products after spending significant funds for vehicles...
I disagreed with your statement. Chinese made junk imitation parts. I went through countless of so called OEM supplier Chinese made parts. They simply ain't like real OEM parts not made in China
Perhaps your musical instruments ain't subject to extreme temperature tests, so this made in China...
Typical Ford cam phaser issues. Try to dry crank the engine each time before full start the engine. Got to prime those junk cam phasers.
I run motul and diesel oil for Ford engines with tendency of cam phaser issues.
