Just lurking for now. Trying to decide if a Bronco is the vehicle for me.
Anyway, HELLO from Missouri

Just think about what you want to use it for, is it comfortable for you to drive, and is it livable for you.
For me,
1. I wanted to start going off-roading again.
2. Yep, enough room, no problems. Even lifted, smaller than my F150.
3. It's my daily, so yes. Even with my mods, it still fits in places, gets decent mileage for what it is, and has all of the extras my Harley had.
So, good luck, I hope you find what you are looking for, be it a Bronco or something else. Just enjoy the drive.

As @Ninjack said, depends on what your expectations are and how you intend to use it. I have two "fun" cars and the Bronco replaced a 2012 BMW X5 that I used for longer trips, winter and just when I wasn't driving the other two cars during the non-winter months.
I liked the BMW but it was getting long in the tooth and I was worried that the next repair would be more than the car was worth. I also camp and often head up to Northern Michigan, so I wanted something a bit more rugged and with four doors as my other cars are two doors with token back seats.
Didn't want a Jeep. Have driven them before and they just weren't for me. I was expecting to make a lot of compromises going from the BMW to the Bronco, however I am pleasantly surprised. It obviously doesn't drive and handle like the BMW, but the ride was a pleasant surprise for me (a lot of this depends on which suspension you get), and while there is more road noise from the tires, it's not as bad as I expected. I did get the hardtop on mine which is quieter than the soft top, but obviously not as quiet as a vehicle with a fixed roof. I expected that.
All in all I love my Bronco and while I only have just under 6,000 miles on her, I haven't had any issues. I don't regret my decision one bit and am glad I went with what I did.
Good luck and welcome!

Thanks for the insight, guys. Much appreciated
lol....you sound so serious!
Of course it is! The REAL question is, what trim?
I hate to tell you, but once you get to the point you are now, there is no turning back.....
