Diffrent and fun
by Michael on 6/26/2026 10:59:58 AM
We've only had our 2025 Bronco Sport four months. And so far so great. With 6k+ miles it's been on an eighteen hundred mile trip that include mountain driving. The performance and handling has been great and the fuel efficiency is averaging 32 mpg since it rolled off the lot (I'm a conservative driver but not the guy you hate being behind on the road). We especially like the retro style. In today's market, the smaller SUV's for the most part look the same (jelly beans on wheels). The square finish and safari roof really sets the Bronco Sport apart. The 3 cylinder turbo engine was tough to process. However, it's an engine that delivers plenty of peep off the line and passing power on the freeway. It's won this skeptic over! The interior is roomy and comfortable. The controls and gauges are intuitive. The safety driving package is amazing along with the 5 star "safety" rating. This vehicle cost less to insure then our nine year old Ford Focus with identical coverage. If you want something that's diffrent in the SUV class, fun to drive, and that will turn heads, then the the Bronco Sport is it. - 5.0
Small but tough
by Alex on 5/21/2026 1:22:38 AM
My Bronco sport has been great to me. No mechanical issues. It is small but mighty. The stature makes it feel hefty but it is nimble while driving and in parking lots. Wish the MPG was a little better. - 5.0
Awesome looking Suv

My bing bend Bronco Sport is perfect for my daily commute. It gets compliments from other suv owners. They especially like the large display screen not typical found on other suv's in it's segment. Includes many safety features. Cargo room is perfect for the vehicles size. Overall the ride is awesome, great steering and breaking. Would definitely recommend others to take a look and a test drive. I was so impressed I purchased a badlands for the wife and a bog end for myself.
