$46k for these two is absolutely insane. Crossovers like these used to be the "accessible" option
That's still below average new car price
Well, the Bronco Sport is (essentially) just a Ford Escape with a twin clutch and a Patagonia brand deal. The Escape is the accessible version.
@@o0260o I understand that. But the average comes from balancing between affordable and ridiculously overpriced. Vehicles in this segment used to be much lower. Being below average is not a good metric when the "average" price is not obtainable for most without taking a 8-10 year loan.
I agree these are unreliable junk and not worth more than $25k
Them being below average car price and still stupid in terms of price are not mutually exclusive concepts.
I can’t work out why Ford don’t sell the Maverick and Bronco Sport in Europe, they’re the right size for over here.
I guess the answer is Fleet Fuel Cosumption, for every liter in Fuel in Consumption the Car Company needs to pay a penalty to the European Union €€€ or sell enough Electriccars.
Thats why Tesla makes so much money the BIG Cars brands buy CO 2 certificates from so they don’t need to pay the tax penalty.
@@DODO-to8bt the EU is cancer
Pretty simple they don't have the ability to produce enough of them for North America and there's little incentive to add plants when the customers can be upsold to a higher margin vehicle.
Because they can't build enough as it is. I waited 13 months to get my hybrid Maverick.
Because Murica
I could watch roller slip test videos all day
Me to 👍
Or paint drying. Essentially the same thing.
🥱
I’d be curious to see how an older Grand Cherokee compares to a new one on the slip tests.
How old though?
I have 1996 would like to see it compared
If it has lockers it will do great, if it doesn't it will get stuck on the one front, one rear test.
It also wouldn't be able to pass the rut test without speeding over the ruts.
Quadradrive has gerotor LSD front and rear, while quadradrive 2 on WK and XK jeeps has electronic LSD that fully lock front and rear. Newer QD2 unfortunately loses the front eLSD for traction control powered brake locking dif
Compare all generations!
Imagine paying 46 grand for a compass 💀💀💀
That makes the $50K ($50,263) Jeep Gladiator Rubicon I got 2 years back pretty cheap in comparison (for what you get vs. a Jeep Compass) -- I think I'll keep it...and pass on a new $46K Compass. Hope that's understandable... ;-)
-- BR
I'm pretty sure they looked at the cherokee trailhawk price when saying that. My cherokee was 42, and my wife's compass trailhawk was 33ish.
Thats the same price I paid for a new 4runner off road premium in 2021
@@jsnow6925much better car for the money
It’s 10 grand less but the bronco is that much
Bronco had a lot more articulation than the Jeep going through the trenches too. Good god cars are expensive now, almost 50k for a compact crossover is complete madness...
they both are top of the range models with all the options, middle range models for both are about $35K.
This makes me miss my '09 Escape Hybrid AWD. Ford nailed it with the original Escapes (up to '12), and the traction control even back then was fantastic offroad. The only offroad limitation on mine was the limited torque from a stop.
I'd still have it if not for an uninsured, unlicensed driver who never paid up.
My dad was a gm at a ford dealership bought one of the first original Escapes in 01 that very first generation was absolutely solid, you could run them hard and they just kept going.
Not with those 2 star crash ratings. 💀
I’m so torn on the heritage trim. Sometimes I think it looks good and sometimes I think it’s a total miss.
I am the same way. I love it and hate it.
Me too! But the Mrs wanted this Bronco Sport limited in Yellowstone. I have to say, owning it now, it has a certain appeal and nostalgic attitude. And it drives like a dream.
Save your money and get the Badlands. You can always get custom badges and grills after the fact for much less than the heritage price premium.
Problem with the drivers today is they are over confident that 4wd will allow them to drive faster than they should during snowy slippery conditions.
Another test that would be interesting is the Escape vs. Bronco Sport. They are based on the same platform, so I wonder how much difference the programming on the Bronco Sport makes.
I agree they should bring the Bronco Sport to the UK. We get the Escape (called the Kuga) but I think the Bronco Sport could do well too.
Bronco sport is mexican garbage. What happens if you don't pay your workers enough and let them build the engine.. at least toyota hands the mexicans a pre built engine......
I had a bronco sport badlands and my mom has an escape that I drive occasionally in addition to the escape I owned in the past. They are not really all that similar at all. People always compare them but then balk when its said that the big bronco is based off the ranger platform and they are not anywhere near the same either. The escape and sport are more different than they are alike despite the fact that people who have never owned or drove either one like to say otherwise.
The Mitsubishi Evo X shared platform with the Dodge Journey. Shared platforms aren't as significant as many people make them out to be.
I appreciate you defending traction control. Sure there are times to turn it off when off-road. But, as you say, there are many times where having it on is better. As with most things off-road, different conditions require different methods. That's part of the fun of driving off-road, experimenting to see what works best.
I would love to see a video of all generations on Grand Cherokee. How they’ve improved (or not) over the years
It peaked with the 2nd gen Quadra Drive and Gerotor lockers. The tech and air suspension doesn't fully make up for solid axles at both ends and the best auto lockers ever made.
I’d also love to see this. Giving up my 05 Grand Cherokee tomorrow for the Bronco sport is kinda killing me. An 05 and it’s more advanced than some brand new SUVs
In Iowa at this moment you can get a fairly well loaded 2023 Jeep Compass for $34,000. In Iowa City the most expensive one I have seen on a lot is $42K. Not sure who...or where you are paying $46K?
I wouldn’t pay 46 grand for either one of them but the Compass is a better looking vehicle in my opinion. We’ve had a Cherokee KL trail hawk in the past and that was one of my favorite vehicles I’ve ever owned.
I agree...The Bronco is butt ugly inside and out.
Agreed, 46K for a compact CUV is eye watering.
A comparison against a KL Trailhawk would seem more fitting with an actual low range and a rear locker.
Brand new Toyota 4runner TRD off Road for $45K Game over!
When performing the slip test, I think you should put a chalk mark on the tires so we can see revolutions.
You do a lot with the Trailhawk but I think it would be worth comparing the Cherokee Active Drive 1 vs Active Drive 2
Cherokee Trailhawk blows both of these away, or really anything else in the class because it has a real low range and real locker. At least until Jeep "reliability" strikes, but the Compass will have the same problem.
I’d definitely choose the bronco sport. The Compass isnt worth buying at any price; it’s just a fiat with a different body. It would be cool if the Bronco sport badlands came with solid axles.
I had a 2018 Compass Latitude 4x4 and really enjoyed it. My only complaint was the Tigershark engine - which they’ve thankfully resolved that issue. It was great in the snow and on the backroads. But I didn’t pay anywhere near $46k for it! Sheesh! It was like $29k with green paint and black roof. Nice little SUV for about $30,000.
I like that Bronco Sport, but wow, $46K? I also love that they’re building a top-of-the-line model that looks like it’s a base-model. Maybe I can increase the value of my Ranger XL just by painting my steelies white…
Ya 46k is high. And I have to agree with you on the wheels. Like really ford thats what you came up with. I was in Jeeps website the other day building one and even they didnt have much of choice on wheels either. Seems to be a area where they are all cutting costs. But we arent saving anything.
@@RagnarKon this^ I have one and am quite happy with it versus shelling out 10k more for a fancier paint job and steelies.
You're not going to find a new Bronco Sport Badlands for $37k. A used one, maybe, but a new one goes for $40k plus.
Honestly, the best Bang for your buck is to go for a Big Bend and put larger A/T tires on it. If you want, a lift. You'll have better tires and more ground clearance, and you'll spend $8k to $10k less.
@@theaveragewoodsman6002 I got lucky and got a badlands in February for just $270 over MSRP (Less than including my trade). I'm not sure how in the world that happened but I'm not complaining at all lol. But I agree. A big bend or outer banks if you don't want/need all of the fancy off road features or added HP/Torque is more than enough for most people
The bronco heritage limited has alloy wheels that look like steelies.
Just bought a 2021 Bronco Sport Badlands Edition with 55K in great condition for about 30K. Happy to give up 55K of mainly highway miles from the prior owner, in order to save about 16K on the price of a new one.
I'm a bit surprised by the Bronco Sport. My work purchased one for off road access and I've had it with one wheel in the air a few times. Going up a steep hill, a Tacoma that went up before me was spinning tires. The Bronco Sport made it up the hill with hardly any effort. If they didn't make it so low to the ground, it could be a decent SUV. My work one only has two GOAT modes.
You know they could put a little more aggressive tires on them instead of those cheap basicly street tires. I which I could put a more aggressive tires on my 2018 ECO SPORT! It’s fun to drive but I haven’t had a chance to drive it in a good amount of snow yet. For really screwed up by not offering a few more options such as a turbo 2.0 in it. $47,000 is a little expensive for the Bronco sport an Jeep Cherokee.
The Jeep gets it done OK, but that Ford is impressive!
On this baby test. Compare a real off road trail compass will kill the ford
@Nathaniel Rudolph not true the sport completed the moab trail stock.
I think the Jeep would do better if the tires were actual off road tires.
46k for those is nuts. I bought a Cherokee Trailhawk in 2015 for 31k and it would've blown both of these out of the water off road, but being a typical Jeep product I traded it in before the powertrain warranty expired. The Bronco Sport would be on a par with the Cherokee TH if it had a real low range (the Cherokee had a real 2.56:1 low range and a real locker out back)
That's the thing. The Bronco Sport would have been $58k with a real low range and lockers.
@@DNHarris Nah, the Cherokee Trailhawk has a real low range and rear locker, and is in the same class as the Bronco Sport and can be had under 40k without too much trouble, though is soon to be discontinued pending a redesign
The Compass Trailhawk is amazing offroad. Way better than expected. Not quite as good as my Cherokee Trailhawk, because of less power, but it's amazingly capable for it's class. I love them both.
I got a backup semi beater 95 Explorer.... bulletproof long lasting high torque 4.0 ohv... LOW range 4WD with L.S. rear....got it for $1,200 and put around $600 in minor repairs / maintenance done almost all on my own. I can rip up hills and not worry / care about scuffing up paint and if I break something major I already got more than my investment out of it....and even then I would likely get some cheap after market parts off ebay and repair that for dirt cheap.
I owned a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Sport which was, in my opinion, an abandoned vehicle by Jeep. It was recalled early for a defective catalytic converter and only after 7-years did it receive the work order ... after I sold it. I decided to cut my investment short and bought a fully loaded Bronco. I am Happy
Bronco Sport all the way! I was there last September and mt Big Bend way outperformed that Jeep Compass and the Big Bend was $36,000 and does not have the lockers etc.
I have a ‘22 Compass Product (Red). It’s quite slower than any other vehicle I’ve owned in a long time, but it’s not that bad. I got over 30 MPG on a recent trip from Gettysburg to my house at the beach in Delaware. Admittedly it’s downhill most of the way through Maryland. I love this car. One of my favorite “daily driver” cars by far. I can control most in-car functions by simply saying things like “hey Jeep, find the nearest McDonalds” or “set the driver temperature to 68”. Etc. And with wireless Apple CarPlay I simply ask Siri to make calls or send messages or play my playlists. And the adaptive cruise control is so awesome. And IMO it looks infinitely better than the Bronco sport. And since this is a 22, my fully loaded Product (Red) Compass was about $35K I’ve owned 85 cars. 5 Vipers, 5 Vettes, a Prowler, Challenger SRT, Grand Cherokee SRT, Etc. But for a little daily driver that uses regular gas, and has all these features, this is at the top of the daily driver list.
I have a 2023 jeep Red and I have a turbo and it really goes good.
Tommy, you guys need to figure a way to test durability… that’d be a game changer in off-road testing.
I think the issue at hand here is the fact that the auto mode in the Compass behaves like an actual auto mode, while the auto mode in the Bronco is much more aggressively tuned than necessary. This discrepancy makes the the Compass "appear" worse and puts much more emphasis on choosing the correct drive program. The tuning of the Bronco makes the GOAT modes seem less significant.
But when he pitted the best modes vs the best modes, the bronco seemed to be easier to modulate the speed, spun less tires, and didn’t sound as annoying with the traction control system engaging.
@@dmegahanbut who’s to say rock is the right mode for the Jeep in that situation. He just guessed. If this were a rock test, maybe. but I think the dirt mud setting for both would have been a better comparison for this terrain. This is Jeeps dna.
If you understand traction control or 4wd systems you will know that rock mode locks up the wheels the most aggressively and so it won't matter what terrain it is used on . All other modes allow more wheel slip. The advantage of going to a less aggressively tuned mode is to prevent sideways movement in loose or slippery terrain. The Broncos system simply is proving to be a lot better here at keeping 4 wheels providing power when needed.
@@Natethegreat200c Read what @Falcon-mc5fs said, it's basically what I was gonna say, it really won't matter in this comparison when it comes to the rock mode as most other modes would allow way more slippage which was what he wanted to avoid, which btw, mud and ruts modes in Fords are known for allowing a little slip to clean off the tires of mud or ruts that get stuck on it, so yes, rock is the correct mode, or maybe sand can allow for less slip too.
@@Natethegreat200c Agreed. Rock mode on my Cherokee Trailhawk is underwhelming. Snow mode gives the best traction in any circumstances and is the closest to a traditional mechanical 4x4 transfer case.
I have an Escape with the 3 cylinder engine and AWD (less than $30K new). I feel like it is a price hack for its capabilities. Would love to see how it does on this... but I am in California.
You paid $30k for a 3 banger?! And you’re proud of that?! 🤡
I was considering both of these for my GF. But the prices were too much to swallow for a 3rd vehicle. We ended up getting her a 2019 Cherokee Limited with AD1 and the 2.0 turbo. Bonus, with the rear seat folded down we can both sleep in the back.
Love it. Enjoy it 🥰
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the price of these tiny crossovers when there’s a 2021 Lexus GX for the exact same price at a local dealership.
the GX is the answer.
Don't participate and keep buying used cars.
A couple years ago Lexus SUVs were nearly all in the 70-80k region, which made the bronco sport a steal
Edit: at least in my area those were the prices
I just brought a new laser blue 2023 jeep compass trailhawk fully loaded for 39000 because jeep has compass on sale till july 2023. Was also looking at the bronco sport badlands, but had trouble finding one in the color I wanted and would have has to pay at least 47000 for it. So I'm super happy with my trailhawk compass and can't wait to test it on easy to mod trails.
Wow, $46,000 for that Heritage Edition? I just traded my 2021 Big Bend in for the 2023 Badlands and paid $36,000. The Badlands listed for $40,000, but the dealer gave me $2000 more than I owed on the trade-in, another thousand off on the price of the Badlands because they were running a special, and another thousand because this was my third vehicle purchased from that dealership. Mine doesn't have leather seats, but it's the same truck. I love it. It's got plenty of power, is nice to look at, and handles the trails with ease.
Who is spending $46k on these tiny cars?
Ppl spend more than that on small sports cars
Why do you say "tiny" like it's a negative? I love small 4X4's the big ones get stuck between the trees. All else being the same, I'd pay more for a small 4X4 than a big one.
@@andrewsnow7386 I like small cars, but not spending $46K on one. You can get a better vehicle for that price than either of these 2.
Lots of people are. Dealers can’t keep the Bronco Sports on their lots.
$46,000!!?!???!!??!?!?!
That's just for the special addition heritage, you can buy the Badlands that has all the same s*** on it for thirty-five to. 37,000
So, after getting slapped around by wranglers and forerunners,the new Bronco goes and picks on the poor jeep Compass 😆
That’s not the actual bronco.
Numerical score for this test like you do for the Ike gantlet would be useful.
i think the main gripe ppl have with traction control, is so often we simply don't have a choice to engage it, disengage it, or alter how it behaves. sometimes ur simply not gonna go anywhere with out some wheel speed. and with some traction control implementations, that's something you're not going to get.
Holly cow! I paid less for my wife's 2 door 2023 Bronco Basesquatch with the V6 and a few extra options... In Ford, "Heritage"=ton of money for some white paint...
Exactly! A base Bronco Sport BL is about $36,000. I don't know how Jeep expects the Compass Trailhawk to remain competitive vs ford or Subaru at such a steep price.
The Bronco Sport:
1. Is far more comfortable on regular roads.
2. Has 4 doors, so it is easier to take more than one additional person around. Also, it is far less cumbersome to make a trip to CostCo and pick up mega packs TP/PT as well as giant jar of mixed nuts, a 32 pack flavored bubbly water, two dozen roses and a 27" computer monitor.
3. Is more fuel efficient.
I have a 2021 Bronco Base 2-door that cost me $30,555 new, but I can see the value of a Bronco Sport.
Buy the Compass in 2 years, gently used for $20K less then its a decent deal. I drove one for a couple of months and spent alot of time on trails, It did very well and was a nice daily driver. But definitely wouldn't buy one new for $46K
Love my 2023 Bronco Sport Badlands. Sticker was $40k but they had it for $38k.
I bought a laser blue 2023 compass latitude trim with all the bells and whistles for $38K and I love it!
I'm actually looking into getting a new car this year. Currently the only solid contender is the Bronco Sport Badlands (with the upgraded off road system). I'm waiting on some more info on the new Tacoma to see if I should do that instead, but right now I've been super impressed with the Bronco Sport with not just it's offroad capability, but overall a great vehicle. Good mileage, AMAZING safety, good look, haven't heard any serious issues (unlike the bigger Bronco), love the analog speedometer still existing, simple clean designed interior.
Do the bronco sport
You'll be happy with either one. My vote is also on the Bronco, it's a little bigger than my Renegade but I absolutely love how easy it is to drive and park my Renegade, and how it's equally at home on forest service roads or in the city. As a guy who lives smack dab in between a major city and a large national forest it's a perfect fit. The Bronco Sport is only a little longer so I imagine it's quite similar in feel, though I have no experience driving one.
Bought mine exactly 2 months ago. I love it. Downgraded from an f150 for fuel savings.
Over 50,000 in Canada for my package. Wanna play you gotta pay
Go with the Bronco Sport. I have a Big Ben and based on this video mine would way outperform the more expensive Compass.
Trouble is, you have to spend to get away from the 1.5 3-cylinder, a gutless engine that deliver slow speed, sub-par mpg, and sounds like a John Deere tractor. The 2.0 is only available with Heritage Limited Edition or Badlands trims. From my test drives, none of the Bronco Sports are really much fun to be in. And for this trim level, the price exceeds what it offers.
I wouldn't spend 46 grand for both.
Cherokee is a 4x4, with a transfer case and locking diffs. It definitely wins lol
Alas, no cherokee to be seen here. Only compass and bronco sport.
@@twotrackjack2260 Ohhh Thanks! I went by the thumbnail then had a conference call to deal with when the video started.🤣
I just assumed it was a Cherokee.
I guess I was expecting the Bronco Sport to be compared to the Cherokee, not the Compass
I test drove the Bronco Sport when it came out. I really liked it. It reminded me of the Discovery II with the seating position and many other features, except it cranked when I turned the key, didn’t rattle, and didn’t leak oil so it wasn’t exactly like a Disco 2. But was too small. I bought a Trail Boss instead and have never been happier with my decision.
You lost me at 46k 😢😢😢
I had a Jeep Liberty I bought new in 2002. A lot of people said the Libby was a joke, but I never got stuck in any New England winter in the 65K miles I had it.
Same , never had one issue with mine and as an RN , I had to be at work super early before the snow plows came around , still miss my Liberty
I would say the Cherokee compares more to a Bronco Sport than the Compass.
Cherokee is dead :/
The Bronco Sport and Compass are in the same segment, which is compact SUVs. They’re literally exactly the same in dimensions and peak ground clearance. The Cherokee is also way more expensive than the Bronco Sport, so the Compass really is the Bronco Sport’s direct competitor.
The Cherokee is a compact whereas the Compass and Bronco Sport are subcompacts. The Cherokee also has a 4WD system that in operation more closely resembles that of a Wrangler or Bronco than a Compass or Bronco Sport.
Yes Paladin 06, but the Cherokee is being discontinued after this year.
@@TFLcar I did not hear about that. I like the Cherokee over the Compass.
Why would Jeep put street tires on a off-road trim on the Compass?
Put the Bronco Tires on the Jeep. They look wider and sidewall traction too.
They're just $1k cheaper than a model y before incentives!?! 🤯 Who the heck is buying these!?!
That compass being 46k nearly caused me to spit out my coffee. We bought a loaded Cherokee Trailhawk in 2015 for 39k. (Not the Grand, just the little Cherokee.) So is a trailhawk Cherokee now 50+??
Truly shocked at these prices lol
Prices have gotten stupid in the past couple of years. I bought a pretty nice Wrangler in 2021 for 47k. Which I'm pretty sure would be 57k now for a similar package.
We just bought a 2022 Compass latitude lux for 32k. And it has everything so I'm sure that's a inflated price to match broncos price. 😂
46k for these???? WTF
Yeah, the video is great but we also have to remember that the bronco sport competes in the size category of the (now discontinued) jeep cherokee. The compass may still be a compact crossover, but the category is not the same. Cherokee came in the trailhawk trim that offerrd lockable 4wd and lockable rear diff just as the bronco and that would actually be a fair comparisson (same size, same off road equipped options and a fairly similar price too).
Too bad there are no more cherokees made
I suppose I'm too old school. Off-roading to me it's not driving across the front yard. This video was like, when Grandma does off road test. Video should have said comparing electronic traction control between two vehicles. When we say off-roading that's mud in the Headlights, are you need to roll the window up to keep the water from running in. We call these 7-Eleven trucks. Cz's parked at the 7-Eleven parking lot while they're riding with your buddies that has off-road trucks
$46K?!!! 'sound of needle scratching across a record'.
$46k for a trail hawk? That has a lot of options as u can get a almost base model trail hawk for $34k and still have good features. This one has probably every option. Not needed imo. I have a ‘24 compass altitude and it has everything I need for daily commute.
Bronco Sport is like the short and chubby brother compared to the full size Bronco.
I have a 2021 Badlands BS. I can tell you, I have had it in situations where people said I couldn’t. I have seen this in action where I saw jeeps spinning, and it walked right through.
The biggest limitation I have run into is my 10.25in clearance, and lack of mud section armor (which I plan to fix the armor situation eventually). I have a 1.25in lift over factory.
Overall, I haven’t had to turn back from anywhere I wanted to go so far. Could I go where the big 32in guys go vertical? Nope. Do I want to? Nope. Not right now.
Have y’all thought about comparing the 2023 and explore vs 2023 pilot
Next test. See how the wife manages to navigate streets, grocery store parking lots, driving off curbs, driving over curbs, stopping, going, and unloading groceries. These cars will only see dirt when there is no pavement. Though they will do well in New York City during the recent floods.
The Bronco Sport got thru the course with much less wheel spinning.
Lol. I love how Tommy and Soyfen had the exact same take on bothering with GOAT mode versus just let the computer do it for you. Awesome.
Tommy is a god nobody in the world can slip test so accurately
What's going to make EVs price competitive is not just that they're getting cheaper, but that gasoline cars are getting so expensive. $46,000 can buy you a lot of EV nowadays.
Yeah, at this point they are basically raising the price of the competition to justify the higher prices of EV cars and force customers to consider them more.
This is a top of the line model tho. What does a top of the line EV cost?
I understand what people are saying about prices. But these are basically fully loaded models folks. I don't check all the options boxes, and then complain that something is expensive.
That's the same logic as eating everything about the buffet table and saying, that's a ton of calories.
Despite the enormous price tag, the Bronco Sport just embarrassed about 90% of the car's you test. Just saying, awesome job FORD 👍
Hey trying opening the doors on these vehicles while in full flex mode to see if there built well ??????
We have a 2019 Compass. It has just over 40000km. We have had to replace the stop start battery over 400$ front brakes. It has had a anti freeze leak from day one normally shows up when the temp hits -20 but onecan smell it when hot. It has a noise in the rear which sounds like a old truck..dealer said it's normal.
Hearing the prices of these stopped me in my tracks. Just based on looks these look like a 21-25k MSRP vehicles
I dont know if you guys read my comment on a previous video, but thanks for making this comparison. Im sure there are a lot of people looking at both of these and needed aome honest testing to help make a choice.
In my opinion a closer comparison tot he Bronco Sport would actually be the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, as the Bronco Sport is based off of the Ford Escape platform, and the Escape is much closer in size to the Cherokee. Plus, the Cherokee Trailhawk can come with a 3.2L v6 or 2.0L turbo i4 both making 270 HP, which is closer to the Bronco Sport's 250HP.
I just bought a bronco big bend sport I love it
what does it say about Tommy's driving style that he seems to always be "driving up on snowy curbs?"
Traction control sucks essentially you’re constantly trying to keep momentum in deep mud, deep snow and when you cut power you’re gonna get stuck. Even with it shut off it comes back on when the wheel speed factory Nanny setting is hit it cuts power and your stuck. Unless you know how to temporarily disable it then you got a real machine 😊
Wow. That is the “trail hawk” version and the bronco sport made it look silly.
The big thing no reviewer brings up is Jeep offers rebates on the Compass that drop the price thousands less than the BS. And when it’s in “rock” mode it seemed to be about the same off road although I think the BS would ultimately perform better because you can “lock” the rear end but it does cost more for that and the more powerful engine. And the interior decision could go either way but to me it’s much nicer in the Compass.
my issue when someone says that a ford has a "nice" or "better" interior, what they actually mean is it looks nicer but when you touch it, it feel like cheap hard plastic I can snap off by touching it too hard.
That Heritage Edition Bronco is so beautiful.
Rav4 in the back dancing "peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat"
I want the Bronco's steelies under my Jeep Renegade Trailhawk! Black painted tho
46 grand!??! Lol remember when you could get full spec rubicon for that price. Jeez
At that price range you're definitely in Wrangler territory and I would much rather have a base model Wrangler over either of those SUVs.
They should make 1,984 of those, since that was the first year of the Bronco II (and that's the real predecessor to the Bronco Sport).
You cant engage 1st gear manually on the Jeep. What you think is 1st gear is really 2nd gear. The granny gear is only for the low mode
Would love to see how a XJ Cherokee would compare to these two?
a mexican bronco or an Italian jeep... I wish we could choose between two American vehicles but those days are long gone
I absolutely love my 2021 Bronco Sport Badlands! I payed $38,000 in March 2021
Very impressed by the Bronco Sport!
Users/divers can feel However they feel and do whatever they want. And they will.
I used to sell smartphones for AT&T...
I had someone buy a pocket PC phone which is very expensive back then just because they like the keyboard for texting...
I also had someone return a pocket PC phone and swap it out for a flip phone because they didn't like the keyboard for texting...
People have options and they use them... People are different..
So the driver can want whatever they want and the company has to provide it and that's it.
Really great video with someone that knows how to test the off road modes of the vehicle!
Your mom didnt wreck because she forgot to put the vehicle in 4wd. She wrecked because she was driving way too fast for the conditions. Any idiot can get any vehicle moving in the snow and ice. It's the stopping and turning that are the hard parts.
What's the reliability of a Jeep compass? What are the common issues?
I think it’s ok, not great. Both are way overpriced though
I wonder how the outgoing Cherokee compares? IIRC the Compass doesn’t have anywhere near the motor that the Cherokee has. Is the 4WD system any better?
The Trail Hawk Cherokee 4x system is a little better with lockers front and rear. The Compass is basically AI AWD brake controlled bullshit. My daughter has a 2021 Compass trail hawk and its not that great in any area and it was way over priced for a Fiat.
You mention the infotainment system, but I think you named them backwards. The Jeep should have a UConnect system, not SYNC as you mentioned verbally. (SYNC is Ford's brand name system.)
