Positive Review

"Nifty in the snow & ice"

I live in Minnesota and have always had issues with driving in icy conditions. The tires, Continental Pro Contact tx, that came standard on my 2023 Bronco Sport, have been incredible! Not only is the vehicle a dream to drive but the tires make my winter driving stress free and I have less tension after a trip to town. I recommend this little guy to everyone I know, and I've had many strangers ask about gas mileage and performance.

Critical Review

"It is OK"

This is my first and last Ford. I went with the Badlands trim and was excited about this car as it does do the things I need it do to - space for my large dog in the back, ability to have the rear window open, adequate space for passengers, pretty good gas mileage on 87 octane, decent power, looks great. If this typical of Ford builds, I am not sure, but the build quality is terrible. Brand new car rattles from multiple locations inside the cabin, has a persistent squeak from under the hood, and a creaking noise when pressing down or letting up on the gas peddle.

Pros

Black Diamond package looks cool.

Cons

Wind noise, lugs at low speeds and depreciation

Title of my review clearly conveys my sentiments. Bought a 2025 Ford Bronco Sport with the Black Diamond and Convenience Packages. MSRP was $38,008. Looked cool but was underwhelming on how it drove. Louder than average wind noise. At low speeds car always felt it was in a higher gear than it should have been. Felt like it would stall out. Technology and safety features were nice. Black Diamond package also gives you a trailering package and a front bull bar which looks cool. Didn’t experience any issues with the vehicle just not for my liking. Worst part is if you buy one expect to keep it a long time because they don’t hold their value. Right after purchasing it the same dealer where I bought was going to give me $10,000 less than I paid and it was already discounted by $7k when I bought it. If you are going to buy one, do not get a higher end trim or you’ll lose even more money. My recommendation is go with the Big Bend at least with the convenience package and Black Diamond if you like that look and don’t pay more than $25k. Hope this helps.

Do not buy FORD
Pros

It’s good in the winter

Cons

Transmission problems, fuel injector problems, stutters, random engine lines always popping on

I will never buy another ford. It’s my first and last. I have a 2021 ford bronco sport, there’s been at least 6 recalls. The torque converter needed replacing at only 50k miles, still having transmissions issues. Things rattle under the hood all the time. If you want to spend your hard earned money on a vehicle that will last, do not choose ford.

Too many recalls and transmission problems

Have 2021 Ford Bronco for 2 years. Has 94,000 miles on it. Transmission went bad. I think there is an internal defect on these. Lots of recalls since Ive had it. Not happy with it.

Awesome looking Suv

My bing bend Bronco Sport is perfect for my daily commute. It gets compliments from other suv owners. They especially like the large display screen not typical found on other suv's in it's segment. Includes many safety features. Cargo room is perfect for the vehicles size. Overall the ride is awesome, great steering and breaking. Would definitely recommend others to take a look and a test drive. I was so impressed I purchased a badlands for the wife and a bog end for myself.

A complete waste of money

I purchased brand new with on 3 miles on it in 2022. Brakes were bad immediately. 3 recalls in the first 2 yrs. Haven't even made it to 100, 000 miles and the transmission has gone out, rear differential unit has to be replaced, and I have an antifreeze leak. Let me be clear, I do maintain regular maintenance as well. I've had the windshield replaced twice(to be honest it needs to be replaced now). All of this while still having to pay for this lemon. Worst mistake ever! 😕

Bad breaks

I have a 2021 ford Bronco Sport and when you back up the brakes make a horrendous noise and I had it at the dealership 4 times about it and they said ford knew about it and they were going to find a fix for it by 9-23-04 and send a letter out to have it repaired and they didn’t send it out util the 6-of 2025 after all the 2021 were out of warranty so they have the parts to fix it but they want the consumer to pay for it which is over 2500 dollars I'll never buy another ford I called ford customer support and it was a joke and I always loved ford and had them all my life and I’m 67 years old but never again I’m going to Chevy or Toyota
