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 ;)       --- SBBSecho 3.06-Win32        * Origin: (1:322/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 601 123/131 226/16 30 227/114 702 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 664 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 292/854 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 633/280       PATH: 322/757 229/426           |
