Automatic brake
by Tracy on 8/18/2026 1:27:05 PM
Love my vehicle runs good and not noisy like some of the previous year models; but the automatic pre Collison break came on yesterday and hurt my back/neck; plus almost got in a wreck with and 18 wheeler from behind because of the automatic break. Do not pull to close behind another vehicle or the pre collision automatic break will come on and jerk you. - 5.0

Diffrent and fun
by Michael on 6/26/2026 10:59:58 AM
We've only had our 2025 Bronco Sport four months. And so far so great. With 6k+ miles it's been on an eighteen hundred mile trip that include mountain driving. The performance and handling has been great and the fuel efficiency is averaging 32 mpg since it rolled off the lot (I'm a conservative driver but not the guy you hate being behind on the road). We especially like the retro style. In today's market, the smaller SUV's for the most part look the same (jelly beans on wheels). The square finish and safari roof really sets the Bronco Sport apart. The 3 cylinder turbo engine was tough to process. However, it's an engine that delivers plenty of peep off the line and passing power on the freeway. It's won this skeptic over! The interior is roomy and comfortable. The controls and gauges are intuitive. The safety driving package is amazing along with the 5 star "safety" rating. This vehicle cost less to insure then our nine year old Ford Focus with identical coverage. If you want something that's diffrent in the SUV class, fun to drive, and that will turn heads, then the the Bronco Sport is it.
