The 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Is an Awesome Baby Bronco

[@DougDeMuro]

Before you complain this isn’t a “real” Bronco, remember that not everyone wants the big full-size Bronco with removable everything and a much higher price tag. Think of this as a far more capable, better-looking alternative to boring bland crossovers and you’ll have a better perspective on it.

[@bk_nreynolds3278]

This is sort of a misconception, as the blazer is the fastest moving car in the industry. I completely agree as far as I wish it would’ve been more of a off-roader than a mundane crossover, but either way it’s still selling

[@theinstitute1324]

While I agree that Doug gets really facetious or gives really dumb pointless euivocations to the vehicle he rates speed isn't as big a deal as you'd think to car enthusiasts. Many have their tastes and petrolheads absolutely adore speed but raw visceral acceleration is only half the dance as the rest of the car. It's the same reason why many aren't very big fans of the Veyron. It's a fast and visceral but elegant machine and a bit of a marvel of brutal technology at it's core, but it handles about how it looks it does and it has very little else notable about it aside from it's luxury speed and capability - it legit has a wider turning radius than a *Hummer*. I myself would rather have a Miata and as a fan of engineering a like a good amount of mechanical construction and proficiency to them. Simple but well constructed cars are definitely good ones, like the Ferrari F40. I also adore cars that can handle and spritely light ones too. Speed gets you a lot of points, but it doesn't get you points when you can't round a corner as well as a large SUV. It's the driving experience that matters.

I bought one a few weeks back. I have an Outer Banks edition. The looks I get in it is crazy. There’s not many on the road and due to the semiconductor shortage, it may be a rare sight for a short while. It’s gives you a big truck feel in a small frame. Nice equipment. The 3 cylinder turbocharge does have enough power but it does make a funny sound at lower speeds. My wish is that tailgate had a two finger handle near latch buttons, cupholder LEDs remain lit (only displays when you turn on vehicle. No USB outlet in rear seat.

And while we are on the subject- plastics aren't bad. It's just the type and the way we use them that makes the difference. Even Carbon Fiber is plastic, it's manufactured differently than others. And there are different types with different properties, Rather than calling them plastics - I prefer them as Marvels of Polymer Engineering. For products like cars which is expected to have upwards of 20 years of life, plastics should actually be encouraged. Infact I would prefer a purpose built polymers over leather and metals on car interiors.
