Your review is pretty much spot on. I agree with it being smaller/bigger than I expected. The cargo area is a little smaller than I would like. I feel like my Focus ST had more square footage in the hatch. I agree that a more tradition gauge cluster would be better. I feel like this one is going to look dated pretty quickly. I also don't like how the tack is a bar and displays the numbers.
As far as the trans goes, it is very smooth. The gears are short, it feels like I'm driving a semi when I'm starting out. 6th seems useless for passing or anything more than maintaining speed up a hill. My other vehicle is a 95 F350 7.3 with a zf5, so it's not much of a fair comparison. That truck is great on the highway and powers up hills in 5th. The clutch is so light on the Bronco, I felt like I almost put my foot through the floor the first time I started it.
