Camaro/Audi for Bronco

[Vrhaines]

Hi!

I have a 2023 Camaro SS convertible and and Audi S5. I love the Bronco Wildtrak andnow that they are finally being discounted I think I may trade both on it. I have two kids 11/3 and I mountain bike and play hockey. The camaro is fun but I don't drive it much (pittsburgh) and the Audi is really nice and quick but isn't very useful. I drive the wife's 4Runner when it's time to haul things. I have had 2 wranglers in the past and i feel like the 4door 4WD convertible life is such a good balance.

I usually always have a sports car but I'm using mine less and less as the kids get bigger/busier. Just hope that a bronco can offer daily driving fun.

anyone come from a similar background? PS looking at eruption green wildtrak.

Depends on your definition of fun . I went from a manual '22 Golf R to a manual 2-door Bronco (Badlands, non-SAS). Wife drives an '18 4Runner. No surprise - it is and drives like a truck. I actually really enjoy the 2.3 engine paired with the manual and has plenty of power for daily driving,......but it drives like a truck. My use case is recently retired, kids long grown/gone, living in rural area with lots of hills (edge of the White Mts. in NH), lots of snow, long/steep dirt driveway, etc. If I didn't want manual, would be looking hard at the new 4Runners....but if the convertible/topless life is calling you.....Bronco could be fun

Have you considered trading in the kids instead?

Kinda similar story here but for me I’ve been thinking about trading in my HE for an RS3. Not 100% sure if I’m going to do it any time soon but one thing I’d tell you, you won’t regret trading in for a wild track.

Yep had a 2021 twister orange mustang GT, traded it for a 2 door big bend then traded the big bend for this one

I haven't owned sports cars, just sporty cars.
My 2.7 with procal tune scoots pretty damn good for being a big-ass brick.
2021 4dr SAS Badlands.
During the summer, the top is off more than it's on.
Plus I can go play in the dirt all day long if I feel the need... And I always do.

When I got my Bronco I kept my mustang also because I loved driving it. Well after 6 months of owning both, I hardly ever drove the mustang anymore so I ended up getting rid of it. My kids miss it but I really don't.

There's quite a few Mustang aficionados on 6g. I just had (have) a pickup, so can't really comment specifically, but Sport mode in a 6klbs truck getting 6's isn't too shabby. There's also upgrades like the Whipple tune and VFG Racing has a turbo/tune upgrade that gets over 450hp (I think higher but I'll demur). You can also go higher ratio on the gearing (WT is 4.7 but several have gone 5.13 and 5.38). Lot of fun you can have with a Bronco.

I definitely do. I’ve always wanted the RS3 and now I’m in a good financial position to get one (surprisingly they’re sitting on dealers lots for MSRP) so it’s been nagging on me. I love my Heritage though so I’m torn

Ive had my Bronco for 10 months and 9k miles so far and I still smile every time I drive it.

Havent owned a sports car(5G Prelude), but I'll bet you'll enjoy a Bronco just the same, especially if you get the 7mt. It's a blast to drive, cruising or wheeling.
