I actually like the look, kind of like a Tonka Toy. I'm optimistic about the
reliability. Not having been a Jeep owner however, I have had three Ford's now
and had previously abandoned American cars altogether until 2012. Uh, let me
correct that, my previous wife and I had a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with
an inline six and I loved it until it started nagging me as it would cost over
$600.00 everytime a light would go off. My parents always owned Chrysler in
their heyday and after the '70s there became numerous transmission issues. For
my needs I would get the Bronco Sport because I am a nurse and live on Cape Cod
and it would be just right... and I know it's a totally different car than the
"real" Bronco. I just wouldn't get the 3 cyl. Currently I have a 2018 Fiesta ST
which is quite modded. The engine is actually a detuned 1.6 english Cosworth
mated to a great six speed tranny that is shared with the Mustang and it's the
best manual I have owned. I kill lots of cars with it as long as I can get
traction ;)
