The Bronco is a great vehicle overall, I've had zero issues the first 7 months of daily stop & go city driving. I had it in for the windshield sealant recall, and at the time they replaced the cowl trim piece shown in this thread. What vehicle doesn't have cheap plastic on it? I was involved in a mishap at an automatic car wash a few days ago, forgot to put my Mazda6 (Ford product actually) in neutral and hit the Audi in front. My Mazda had zero damage not even a mark, but I had to make an insurance claim for the Audi because the cheap ass plastic front fascia was damaged. My Mazda is plastic too of course, but it survived and the Audi's didn't. Expensive European cars give you more luxury if that is what you are looking for, otherwise its the same construction and plenty of plastic! The Bronco like any vehicle with a removable roof has unique challenges and there are compromises compared to a fixed roof. Could it be better, sure, but after 7 months it still makes me smile when I get in and hit the start button. The other day I was behind a Porsche Cayenne. It crossed my mind, would I trade for that $80,000 jelly bean? No way!!! and I drive just a lowly Base model.I have a Bronco on order and have been shying away from LR in general because of reliability questions. But with the mounting Bronco problems I'm second-guessing that. I have no doubt the money spent on a Defender would provide quality materials at the very least.
