This car is sporty, a very comfortable ride, handles beautifully!! I feel safe while driving, and mine is the red only made in 21, and I think it catches eyes going down the road!! I love it!

I bought a pre owned Bronco Sport base model.

I bought a pre owned Bronco Sport base model. 49,000 miles at purchase. It's perfect except for the brake noise when backing up. I see a lot of people mentioned this. Had I known about it I may have picked the Equinox. But I love my Baby Bronco and won't complain at all. I got another 50,000 bumper to bumper warranty with it. So I'm very happy with my Bronco!

Other than our f 150 with the coyote motor this has been

Other than our f 150 with the coyote motor this has been my favorite vehicle. Great fuel economy, great to look at and just fun to drive. The week after we bought it we got an ice storm and this thing was keeping up with the big 4x4 trucks. My husband was still able to get to work every day. We've brought it on vacation to the beach and threw a paddle board on top. I use it to bring the dog back and forth to the vet and to get his pup cups, and the back is super easy to clean with some type of rubber material. It's always the top choice when we're doing weekend adventures. I've had zero issues with it. The AC blows very cold, my daughter says we're ice cubes in 90°+ heat. The infotainment center is easy to use, and I can hook up the navigation by using my phone charger. The only thing I don't like is sometimes when backing up it makes a loud noise and my brakes have been checked 🤷

Comfortable daily driver?

Comfortable daily driver? Check! Highway performance capable? Check! Need to get groceries? Check! Off-road adventures? check! Fits in tight spaces? Check Camping? check! Fits a family? Check! Good MPG? check! Reliable? Check! Pretty to look at? Check! Just buy it already! I have not regretted and I’m sure you won’t either! Make sure to buy the Badlands edition. Only this trim and the first edition are worthy of the Bronco name.

2021 Model Issues Remain Unresolved

Pathetic that Ford cranked out thousands of the 2021 xx's with this moaning brake issue and to date still has not issued a remedy for it. 2 Tech. Service Bulletins have been issued with the latter having a part on backorder since Oct 2023. See Ford Tech. Service Bulletin 23-2308 for further details of the issue. Plenty of disgruntled owners in forums all across the internet.

Does not live up to the hype.

Countless recalls and rear differential went out at 40,000 miles. Luckily the power train warranty covered repare/replacement. Highway noise is high. Inside is short on space, especially in the back seat. I do love the floor mats and how easy it is to clean. The trunk is huge. The screen is large for such a small vehicle.

Crappy bronco sport 2021

After 15000 miles had to get rid of it. Went thru 6 recalls. Rear brakes. Drive shaft. Fuel injection. Circ pump. Fuel pump water pump. Serious piece of crap. Worst vehicle I've ever owned. 3 cylinder engine to weak. So sad it was fun to drive when working. But crappy reliability. Bigger broncos seem to be doing well

Overall Decent

Overall nice car, something’s could be better. Breaks squeak, there’s a weird air noise that for Some reason no dealer can tell me what it is. Had the car for about 6 months now and really haven’t had any issues besides these.

Looks good, but rife with problems

I had such high hopes for the Bronco, but it has been more trouble than it’s worth. There have been at least 4 recalls, one issue that I can’t get fixed because there is such a shortage of parts. I’ve had lightbulbs burn out already, so I’m pretty sure there is an electrical issue. The backup brakes squeal, and this is an issue that can also not be fixed. The latest is that I failed an emissions check because the computers couldn’t communicate, forcing me to go the dealer. I will definitely not be keeping this vehicle much longer.
