Good thing that they didn't put removable roof and doors on. Or make it available in the convertible. Earlier today

Someone may have already asked, but how did it perform in the snow?I'm eagerly awaiting my "full size" Bronco! I didn't give the Bronco Sport a second thought until I saw one at my local Dealership. They let me take it for a ride and I was surprised how comfortable it was a large human. Its small but the seats were comfortable for me at least. They are using this one as a Demo with plans to auction off for a charity. Big Bend edition.
I did a vid if anyone wants to check it out (I'm not a professional reviewer so take it for what it is): Bronco Sport test ride
? totally agree on the powertain.Anything short of Badlands with the 2.0L I wouldn't even consider; cool vehicle as a second one if one could afford to do so.
It needs to be slightly larger in my opinion. Back seat is a little cramped, but the design is spot on. If there were about 3 more inches in rear legroom, and the 2.0 standard, I’d probably buy one.

Loved your "big hat" test. LOL. Overall, well done. Thank you for posting.I'm eagerly awaiting my "full size" Bronco!

BTW, I have given some thought to getting a Sport now and then swapping for the Bronco when mine comes in (I'm a late reservation holder, so still probably more than a year out). But my little Crosstrek is perfectly fine and is worth a lot more than I owe, so that seems like a losing proposition.
I even had a bizarre dream last night that I came across a Sport when I stopped at a gas station, so I started stalking it and taking pictures and video. I guess I can chalk that up to Bronco Brain.

I believe Fords reasoning would have been it would kill the Explorer line but they could have just made the Explorer look just as soft and bad as the Escape while the Sport could have been a direct competitor to the Grand Cherokee.

Funny you should say the Cherokee because while I was checking out the Sport,I thought it was more comparable to the Cherokee Trail Hawk than the little square Renegade.

Dealer near me has a BS Badlands, I test drove it last week. Overall not bad, but the they had tire psi at 45 so ride quality was uncertain. There was some steering wander as others have mentioned.
One thing of note, in the second picture, the view out the front window seemed on the small side.

Been driving the injured wife around in her 2020 Escape 2.0l AWD and not happy with the steering as well. Think about 500 miles so far. I'll go out on a limb and assume the steering gear is largely the same as in the BS.
When I focus on that, it seems there is no free play on center. I can almost steer the car by looking left or right. I thought it was wandering at first but in reality it was responding to every slight movement of the steering wheel. It defiantly could use some more resistance on center (overall actually) or a tiny bit of play. Something that should be fixed but I'm gradually getting used to.

Pretty sure the Sport has more rear seat legroom than the 4-door Bronco

Not even close.
I started to look yesterday for the first time as a bridge vehicle plus you can xplan it with great interest rates., trying to unload my large payment on my F150 which I dont need anymore until the big boy shows up.
Bronco Sport is 36.9" vs 36.3" in the 4 door.
