I'm comparing an 07 MOPAR to a 21 Ford on the interior materials. I don't get why Ford did it, well I do, but I don't like it. The frameless windows on my 05 Mustang also are not a constant problem like they are on my Bronco... but only now that is cool/cold out.Again, apparently I got lucky on the dice rolls. My '13 JK was fantastic outside the timing cover and front axle oil leaks, both of which occurred before 60K miles.
On the bold, I spent a bit of time in a relative's 4-door OBX over Thanksgiving weekend and have to agree. It reminded me somewhat of GM's Playskool interiors of the '90s to be honest, especially the instrument panel. Didn't care at all for the floppy windows either, my '15 Mustang's windows are frameless too and don't do this.
Having driven a Bronco Sport I really am kinda thinking that was going to be the actual new Bronco (similar to what GM gave us with the new Blazer) and Ford rethought it and came up with the G6. And what I mean by that is the Sport is much more thought out and engineered and seemingly had better pre-production testing. The Sport is actually a nice car for what it is, named wrong perhaps but a pretty solid little thing. The exterior style of the Bronco (G6) is great, I really like it, but the interior layout and materials and odd ball issues just feels rushed. Like Ford wanted to get it out but started the process late. I dunno, my first model year has been good, but not awesome in terms of issues, but I can hand wave some of it due to first model year normal issues, but the interior materials and lay out I cannot. That was deliberate, and, IMHO, just Ford not caring/cheaping out.
