I have the Outer Banks. Power is non-existent. Hit the gas and it almost feels like the car bogs down for 5 seconds. Sport mode is the only way to drive this if you're going to need to merge quickly, pull out from a shopping center, etc. Transmission almost seems erratic. Slowing down coming to a light, it clunks into a lower gear. Really disappointed. Should have spent more time investigating.
Say, what would be the best way to get bf t/a ko2 on this outer banks? Stock rim is 18 . That means LT 255/55r/18 bf t/a ko2 . Or put on 17 7.5 rims and go with 245/65r/17 ‘s ... what’s your opinion ?
3 banger? Experience tells me a 3 cylinder will not last 75,000 miles w/o requiring $$$$$ for repair. If Ford would offer a similar warranty like Hyundai/Kia, I'd consider it.
I haven’t driven one… but with the horsepower/torque specs I’m sure it would be more than capable of merging onto a highway. It’s not going to beat a Challenger Hellcat in a drag race, unless it’s an off-road drag race up a mountain, but it can’t be that bad.
I must ask is Ford aware of the gouging dealerships are practicing. They are adding a $5-$10,000 Market Value Addendum to the Bronco Sport. That means with the automatic drop as soon as you purchase you can tack on 10g more for a whopping 20g in the hole before my first mile. With everything else going on in this country we have greedy dealers adding this plus the 400% markup on tint and paint protection that they have to put on regardless of if it is special order or not. So that is an additional 2g of nonsense. I am calling on a boycott of all Ford products and hope all will join me. Poor Look Ford!!
Super disappointed with a vehicle that doesn't even earn the Bronco 2 name, let alone Bronco. Ford missed a huge opportunity here with the reintroduction not by miles, but by continents.... it's almost as if the most american auto maker doesn't want to succeed. I've owned dozens of Ford's... purchased 13 Brand New in my life. None NEW OR USED since 2007. FORD? ARE YOU LISTENING?
Too small, engines too small, turbo engine too complex for a serious off-road vehicle, week axle's/suspension for serious trail work. Lack of serious towing capabilities. More of a boxy crossover by design than even a serious weekend trail warrior. Shall I continue? If was F150 based with the 7.3 gas v8 available on an Eddie Bauer package.... would have had no problem dropping $80 - $90k on one yesterday.

Mine is great
Mine hops just fine in normal mode, eco mode is what it is
“The Area 51 paint looks pretty good too”. shows picture of it filthy and scratched. Nice.
3cylinder is laughable. Seems like a good way to creat problems as the engine is underpowered and the turbocharge will only strain it
This is really a cool little suv.
Three cylinders? Any word on if it’ll last 200k?
With enough money anything is possible.
Not a chance. I took great care of a 2009 Escape and it was half dead before it hit 100k. But yeah, if you KEEP FIXING everything, I guess maybe.
@@godfatherNYC My 06 Escape has 145K. Still running strong. Worst problem I've had is an A/C leak.
What kind of loser keeps a car until it has 200k miles?

This dude is shocked a lot.
Question, I just got this same car I live in PA you think this car is good for snow? I ask the ford agent and he said yes but I just want to make sure
Mine is 2022
Why do the fog lights randomly turn on and off on each side?
I noticed it's when he's turning, must be an off road thing for night time
@@Sheepleton Correct, Ford says its on purpose and will happen with all the driving modes.

Ford has been using a 3 cylinder engine for a while now. I’m sure it’s just as reliable as any of their other small engines.
Engine is not new. It's been used in other models. It has a 5 yr/60,000 mi powertrain warranty which can be extended.
Ford has been using 3-cylinder engines in Europe for more than 10 years with no widespread reliability problems.
Experience tells me that many self-proclaimed experts are full of hot air.
Manual transmission
Fuck no
Yep, Americans don’t buy them.
@@tedschmitt178 why?
The top doesn’t come off on the outer banks? I thought they came off on all models?
You're probably thinking of the Bronco. This is the Bronco Sport.
It's a 8 inch touchscreen
I see no justification to have a 3 cylinder no these vehicles. Maybe on something that cost about 20k, but not 34K
Subaru Forester Wilderness has more ground clearance and better gas mileage
Doesn't it have a cvt?
@@spud2727 yes
How to you merge safely on the Interstate with a 3cyl. 1.5 liter engine? Why Ford, why? Might as well buy a Fiat ;)
Ummm, turbo? I’ve driven one, it’s not a problem.

@@ericgallagan946 Mine has no problem...at all.
Uh, put your foot down, same as any other vehicle😕
All of it sounds amazing except for that 3 cylinder part. That engine will show significant wear by 80k miles convince me I’m wrong. No thanks.
Convince me that you know what you’re talking about.

So...just buy something else? Apparently, you're new to capitalism.
Ford doesn't care, just never pay above MSRP.

@@johnhull6363 but it's not a serious offroader, nor designed for serious trail work, or serious towing capability...
@@ALMX5DP which it should have been if it was to follow the bronco tradition
@@johnhull6363 You do realize this is the Bronco Sport right? Not the bigger brother body on frame Bronco?
Maybe it's ok while it's brand new, but this is a piece of shit that will fall apart before you get to 100k miles.
