If someone with a 500 credit score, an Altima that they're $8000 upside down on, and no money for a down payment tries to buy a brand new car then they probably need that soul crushing slap to get their head on straight.

Depends on your definition of modern I suppose. I've owned 5 2013+ model year vehicles and only 2 have had it. Only my Fiats, and on my 500 it had an option to disable so I did that the second I bought it so I don't know how acceptable it is. My first experience with hill hold was a friend's...

I sincerely hope it doesn't have it, or that it lets you fully disable it. All it has ever done for me in a car is make hill starts jerky, slower, require more clutch slipping, and provide inconsistent behavior from the car. Sometimes a tiny incline makes it hold the brakes and I nearly stall...

I don't really care where a car is built if it meets my needs/wants and it competently put together. Although since it's an American brand I do vastly prefer that it's made in the USA. Most of the cars I've bought don't come from their home country though.. Italian car built in Japan Italian...

I'd be getting a Crosstrek with a manual, zero chance for a CVT. I've never heard of any stereotype about Subaru drivers beyond them tending to be fanatically brand loyalist.

It honestly sounds more like the salesperson has the broncos confused or didn't understand what the OP wanted. If the OP is quoting him properly it sounds like he's saying they have enough reservations for the Bronco SPORT that any placed now isn't likely to be built until 2021, so it'll be...

It should be about the same take rate for 2/4 door compared to the Wrangler. Massive skew to 4-door Broncos. Might be slightly more 4-doors versus Wrangler since it's a bit less of a hardcore off-road vehicle. With it likely being a much better daily driver it'll snipe some sales away from...

The when the build/price tool comes out next month it should have the accessories there, unless they're waiting until the last second for that. I wouldn't get too excited. 50 of them are probably just going to be roof rack rails, cargo boxes, bike holders, kayak holders. Another 50 for hitch...

That's what I'm waiting to see. It's hard to tell if they're just referring to the sasquatch or if there's a separate suspension option that doesn't go balls deep like the sasquatch. I don't need/want mud tires, don't need lockers, don't need the advanced 4x4 system, I just need more ground...

It's just a lower gear ratio. ~6.5:1 versus around 3-4.5 for first gear in most manual transmission cars. First is 4.2 in the Bronco. It's off to the side of the regular H-pattern, chilling in reverse gear land. I'd imagine you'll have to use the reverse lockout in order to engage it, or they'll...

It's based on an existing architecture, existing engines, only the manual is a new unit. The AC controls look like they're out of the F150, etc. There's not a lot of new stuff to have kinkage worked out of. If something does go awry, then that's what the warranty is for. If you don't absolutely...

Ehh. It doesn't enhance my experience to have to stop what I'm doing and consider what mode I'm in and wiggle a dainty knob around. I've owned 2 cars with a sport mode and it's always my least favorite part of a car to have to faff around with mode selections.

There's not a whole lot to describe. They're just different settings for ABS, traction control, throttle input, etc, to attempt to make the electronic nannies play nice with various levels of traction. I wish the base Bronco didn't have any. Just disable traction control and use your foot and...

I'm very interested in it. I currently have a reservation for a Bronco, but with the headache of a process that ordering the stupid thing is I'm tempted to just forget it. I want a unicorn 2-door base trim manual Bronco, so I'm more or less going to have to order one, whereas I can just browse...

My slightly educated, but mostly random guess. 2.7L costs $1,000 in the F150, but the 2.3L probably costs more to produce than the 3.3L, so best case scenario is like $800 for the engine. 10-speed costs $1600 in the mustang, but the 7-speed in the Bronco probably costs more than the 6-speed in...

I wouldn't consider a refundable $500 deposit a large sum of money for a specially ordered $30-60k vehicle. Seems a bit entitled to expect them to make a special one for you with zero commitment on your part. Sure, if you were ordering the most popular configuration it's no skin off their back...

Engine power is one of the least important factors for tow rating. They could put a F350 powerstroke in there and it wouldn't up the tow rating. Suspension, brakes, gearing, wheelbase, overall mass of the vehicle, etc, will restrict the tow rating before a lack of power does.

It's not difficult at all to spoof an email address, so even if it displays a legitimate address you can't be certain of the origin. I've never ordered a vehicle from the factory before, so I asked the guy at the dealership about required payments when the order is sent off, since it's...

The information on the Bronco reservation page says that they're building ALL Bronco reservations before production of the regular stock units that they'll send to dealers, so it doesn't sound like there are dealer allocations or anything, or if there are then that's tied to what dealers you...

The 2.7L is never going to get a manual trans. Even if we enter a weirdo timeline where it does get one, it's not going to be this close to the launch. They don't have a unit or any fine tuning done, so that would be reserved for a Bronco model refresh in a few years at best. It would be a lot...
