2 days off the lot, torque converter locks up. Takes a month for Ford to decide what to do. Another 22 days for the transmission to be replaced. Engine does not sound the same. there is a light rattle and some oil or fluid may be leaking from the engine/transmission area. In an independant shop today. About two months out now.

Just had the opportunity to drive the Badland edition, and I really liked it. I immediately dismissed it previously as a rebadged Escape, but I was surprised. Firstly, very good driving experience. The engine has good power, the steering has good feedback and great on-center feel, and it's refined. It felt really solid, and I was not expecting that at all. On the highway, I caught myself going over the speed limit many times due to its refinement. Comfortable interior, and really powerful heating/heated seats. I just really loved how solid it felt going down the road. The AWD system is really good! Turning off the stability control, it was really easy to get rotation in the snow. I had to drive it to the airport during a snow storm, and it felt so stable on the highway!!! The headlights are really good! Really, I wasn't expecting to like it so much since I drove a new Escape and it felt really different. I liked the stiff ride, as it imparted a solid feel to the vehicle. The driving position is great, and it looks great in person. Like a mini LR Defender. The sculpted hood is really cool to look at when driving. Lastly, I loved the size of it. Truly maneuverable and agile. In terms of downsides, the 2.0T seemed to really eat gas. Probably because of the aerodynamics and the good performance. Also, the speakers were truly mediocre. There was a very obvious rattle under heavy bass. Overall, I'd really recommend it. It's priced higher than other subcompact SUVs, but it truly feels more expensive due to its solidity, good performance, and solid driving dynamics. I'm a fan! Edit: The transmission calibration was significantly better than in the Escape. That was one of my biggest qualms I had with the Escape. In the Bronco Sport, it felt pretty well tuned.

I have the Badlands model that comes with the 2.0 liter engine. I average 26.8 mpg at 4700 miles with highway mileage 29-33 (driving the speed limit.) The interior seating is comfortable on long trips. The back seats have limited space but are functional. It has plenty of storage in the back which expands when the back seats are put down. I have had no issues at all and just completed my first oil change. The Badlands comes with a front facing camera that I use when parking to ensure I am where I need to be. The front camera comes on automatically when engaging Rock Crawl, Mud/Ruts, or Sand mode. It comes with Ford Co-Pilot 360 and Automatic High Beams which is very nice-automatically going to high beam and switching back with oncoming traffic. The Co-Pilot 360 takes a bit to get used to if you have never used it before with the lane assist/centering, blind spot alerts, and pre-collision assist but it is very nice and provides for additional safety. I have been very pleased with the performance of the vehicle and have zero regrets purchasing it. As you read other reviews, remember all vehicles can have problems-the warranty addresses those. Drive it yourself, see if it fits your needs, and if you purchase it-enjoy! There are several Bronco Sport forums that assist with questions, problems, and a lot of ideas for personalizing it. One year update-almost 10K miles and still running strong with no issues. MPG is about the same - average 26.6 overall since purchase. Very impressed the the quality of the BS. I have driven off-road several times and it did well. Buy or order with confidence!

Driving it for 7 months in Northern Michigan. Summer was great but regular sized bike will not fit inside with inside rack.Bright lights are great but dims do not shine out very far and deer are a serious issue! At 55 you are slamming the brakes by the time deer, or amything, comes into view. Winter: handles well in the snow and ice. The wheel wells get completely filled with ice and difficult to remove. Tires constantly rub on the buildup. The cavity that hides the wipers fills up with ice and snow and freezes rendering the wipers useless unless you stop and try to remove all the ice and snow from around them which I'd difficult. Great southern car or one kept in a garage.

If you want to turn your back on the boring everyday SUV’s that all look the same then the Bronco is for you. I traded in an Acura RDX for my Bronco because it was uninspiring. The RDX was an excellent vehicle but looked like all the others. I feel safe in the Bronco which is something I haven’t felt since I owned a Toyota FJ Cruiser. I finally feel like driving again for no reason other than to take my Bronco out. The only thing I miss about the RDX was the memory seats.
