I can’t be disappointed by the Sport because I have no expectations of it and never considered buying one.

Well I have two reservations one on the sport and one on my Badlands or whatever I get ,we test drove the Badlands sport 2 weeks ago she said it drove like my F-150 as far as power goes that 2 liter is lot more powerful then expected, consideration that she drives Honda CRV now, but the drawback to the sport is the very low towing capacity in the same class is other model vehicles that are out there. But all in all it drove pretty nice, it felt good ,it look good, and most importantly it fit in my garage ,but she decided to go something else.

I kept hearing people say the Flex looks like a knockoff Range Rover. Like, have none of you seen an Explorer? That's way closer of a body shape. The only thing the Flex copies is the lettering on the hood, which the Explorer also did.
I love my Flex. Fight me, internet.
I didn't think it was really meant to be stacked against the Cherokee, though? I thought it was (realistically) more of a Rav4/CRV competitor, and then if you want to go to more offroad comparisons Renegade/Compass.

Riiiiiight. Because Toyota still make the vehicle you use as your avatar (FJ Cruiser) and have steadily improved it? Nissan still soldiering on and improving the XTerra?

The two door Bronco is similar in size to the Bronco sport, so you thinking it’s small is somewhat alarming.

None of us are here for the Sport, right? We all want the big one, so let's just focus on the big one.
I wonder what the Bronco faithful said when the Bronco II came out. Didn't seem to be what hurt the FSB's sales back in the day.

I too saw one yesterday and was blown away at how good it looked. I have a Black Diamond reserved but the Sport is a good looking little truck for the money.
The Cherokee (not grand) has a squinty face only a mother could love.

Bronco Sport = Taurus X, change my mind...
When the Bronco 2 came out I owned a 69 Bronco half cab at the time. One look at that I'm like no thanks!
I don't understand why but Ford doesn't seem to value the name Bronco. Look if they want to make a Bronco sport that's great but they should have giving it a completely different name and left Bronco out of it. instead they just start making different vehicles and badging it with the name Bronco, seems to devalue it.
Saw one today. It is a great little car. Doug D scored just below the wrangler but ABOVE the 4Runner! I haven't test drove one, but I definitely like what I saw.
My son said if he were in the market for a DD he would buy one... except he would remove the "Sport" from the back and add a "II" after it. He is adamant that Ford's only two mistakes is the notsogreat gas mileage, and it should have been called "BRONCO II".
When I finish paying off my big Bronco, I definitely will test drive a Sport to consider it to replace my daily driver.

Maybe my bar is lower, but I don't see how the 2.0L sport could be much underpowered when it has 250 hp. I have '98 Expedition, 5.4L, that is 235 hp. That was the big engine in the Expedition and the F-150. I'll likely opt for the 2.7L in my Bronco but only because I want it, not because I really think I need it.
