My gf has just such a car with a manual transmission. It's incredibly easy to shift, kind of fun, but there's a lack of sensation and heft. It feels very distant and remote.
My old WRX had a direct linkage, with the stick emerging from the transmission located immediately beneath the center...
I wonder how the ergonomics of the seat cushion will work out. It's hard to describe, but, in some vehicles the seat is too high off the floor for comfortable clutching -- when I push in the clutch, the front edge of the seat digs into my thighs and sometimes the kick panel below the steering...
It’s not that the gray top looks bad by itself, it’s the contrast with all the other body plastics — they’re black plastic. Check out the B pillar vs hardtop. That’s three main colors (including the paint), which is too many.
In the year 2020, Ford is having issues with the dash warping? Unbelievable. Thought we left that failure mode behind decades ago, but I haven’t owned a domestic in about that long, so...
I agree, likely the silver 2-door we saw earlier. Looks sharp! Except for that darn gray top contrasting with the black B pillar and other plastic.
I like how the base has a lot of aftermarket upgrade potential. Enormous wheelwells.
Thanks for sharing! What is the source? Looks like the angles were carefully chosen to avoid showing off the contrast between the gray top and the black B and C pillars.
Your numbers don’t add up.
The 4-door Wrangler starts at $31,795 (with a manual). Adding the auto costs $1500. Total cost: $33,295
The 4-door Bronco (with auto included) starts at $33,200. A difference of $95 to entice prospective cross-shoppers? Come on.
If the Bronco base 4-door could be...
I'll say it slower: you can't build a Base 4-door with a manual.
But you can build a Base (which comes with the automatic by default) with Sasquatch. And you can get a manual transmission with the Sasquatch, eventually.
Just not a BaseManSquatch.
Already going for late availability with my ManSquatch, so I'm happy to wait for a painted black top. The MIC gray is unacceptable given how it doesn't match any of the other body plastics.
I'm hoping there will be some good aftermarket helical LSD choices for the front and rear diffs in the Bronco. I had a LSD in the rear diff (and center diff, but who's counting) of my Subaru and it made a big difference offroad on slopes. That thing was planted.
