Hopefully mine gives some insights on people similar to me.
I am getting a 2dr BL Sasq w/ Lux
Test Drove a WT 2.7 Sasq w/Lux
Glad it was a lux so I could make my own opinion on the B&O system.
*They are setting up 2 day testing in a couple of weeks and I am on the list. This will give me more time to mess around with everything and possibly come back to update the below.
A little about me:
-I am only 5'8
-Have never driven an off-road vehicle until today
-My previous 4 cars were a G37s, Lexus IS 350 F, a BMW M4, and a 21 Blazer RS (I still have the Blazer)
-Being able to have a decent sounding system is important to me. Keep in mind I listen to metal (Slayer, Pantera, Megadeth, etc) so bass is not super important to me
Based on reading some of the opinions on different posts I will try to hit all of those since I feel like that is what "freaked" me out the most about my happiness with the Bronco.
Looks:
-I did not like the previous 4dr Broncos I saw a few months ago. It really reinforced me wanting a 2dr. However, they were not Sasq. A 4dr with Sasq made a world of difference to me. Not enough to change my order, but this thing def looks great.
-Interior is nice IMO. Not sure what is "cheap" feeling/looking about it. It looks good, feels sturdy, and exactly what I would expect from an off-road vehicle. Even comparing it to my M4 or Blazer I think it looked great. They are different but I dont think one looks way better than the other.
-Leather seats so I could not provide opinion on the controversial cloth lol
-The soft top IMO looks terrible. We all know the windows' looks and why it was necessary, but to me I could not get over it and would never switch to soft (not that I can anyway)
Comfort:
-The ride was only about 15min but it definitely felt nice. Not as comfortable as my Blazer but I would put it at equals to my M4.
-Read some people complaining about the AC. It was blowing pretty damn cold for me to the point I turned it down.
-As stated I am only 5'8. The Bronco had a side rail that I did not use. I got in with no issues what so ever. If it makes a difference to anyone I am 43 and 150ish.
-Road noise is minimal even in the soft top. I did not bother to drop it down since it was a short ride and at 3pm in Tampa FL.
Power:
-In normal mode it had plenty of pick up. I was worried based on other write-ups especially coming from the M4. But if you know you are hopping into an 5,000 pound veh I dont see why anyone would expect more. I was pretty damn pleased. I would have no worries hopping in-front of traffic. Popped it in Sport mode (sad BL does not have it) and its got some real surprising get-up.
The B&O:
-My M4 had the HK set up and it sounded pretty damn good. My Blazer has the Bose system and it sounds REALLY good. I cranked up the B&O (mind you I did not mess around with settings so it is as is from the factory) and to me it is on par with the BMW's HK. It drowns out any noise and you can focus on the music. I can only imagine I can get it even better by messing around w/ the settings.
Looking forward to my extended 2-day test. Hoping I can land it on the weekend lol
