   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 ;)
