I've tried searching and I'm not sure I've seen anything on point from an actual owner with some miles of experience in their Bronco (vs hearsay reports or short test drives) .
1) How is the power of the 2.3L? I've decided this will be a 2nd vehicle just for fun, not my DD, but I don't want something woefully underpowered getting onto the interstate or trying to pass at highway speeds (75+).
2) Any regrets going 2dr vs 4dr? True to original Bronco and I love the 2dr look but there is a reason Jeep sells a ton more 4dr than 2dr these days...I've got a 4dr SUV already though.
3) How are the MGV seats? Do they get super hot (compared to leather)? Ford leather seems pretty low quality so I don't see the reason to pay $2,200 for what doesn't really seem like an upgrade if MGV is nice and durable.
4) Does the 2dr hard top have the popping noise issues many have reported on the 4dr?
5) Any downside to the manual? Since it won't be my DD, I'm not concerned about a manual in bumper-to-bumper traffic. I think one pedal drive and remote start are out. Anything else?
FYI - I want the Lux package but OB/WT don't offer MGV and the non-Sas BLs is already as capable as I'd ever need (they had non-Sas BLs at the Austin Off-Roadeo handle everything just fine) so this build seems like it could be the sweet spot.
Sorry if this has been covered separately but appreciate input from one of the lucky few who has received this specific build! Apologizes in advance to the Dirt Mountain crowd who wish they could answer but are still waiting for their 2 doors.
