I went into my dealership yesterday for a test drive. Their demo is a Sasquatched BD with the 2.3L, auto, mid package. I’ve got a 4DR OB non-sas, 2.3L, high package on order with them.
While on the test drive I mentioned seeing other dealers loaning out their demo for a day, etc. Surprisingly the sales person asked if I’d like to keep it until the next day, so obviously I responded yes.
Engine: The 2.3L is no slouch. Even with the 4 doors and Sasquatch, I felt it had plenty of pep. I had no problem getting up to speed anywhere. Sport mode added some nice throttle response, also.
Interior, etc: I’m 5’10 so had plenty of headroom. I have broad shoulders but had no problem with the pillars, and it felt roomy in general. The 8” screen was large enough, but I’m glad I’m getting the 12” due to it tying into the dash better.
Visibility seemed good to me, but I’m also coming from a civic coupe.
The dash material was pretty stiff and felt slightly cheap. But, certainly not something that is a deal breaker for me. The MGV seats were pretty comfortable.
The audio could be better, but I didn’t find it to be quite as bad as others have made it out to be. Perhaps I don’t have the ear to discern the lower quality.
The soft top is okay, I’ve got the MIC ordered for mine. There’s some slight creaking in the back going over bumps. I did enjoy being able to fold the soft top back easily, though.
Overall, I had an awesome time with the Bronco and was sad when I had to hand the keys back over. My time with it definitely confirmed my excitement for it and is going to make the wait that much harder.
I grabbed some Chick-fil-A in it and had the person taking my order comment he didn’t know they were available already. Then the person at the window asked me if it was the latest Jeep . I told him no, it’s the Ford Bronco. His response was, “oh like the mustang!” I just said sure, haha.
It definitely turns heads and I had a few Jeeps drive up around me to look at it.
