Broncos are small. We aren't talking about a Suburban.

They’re wide.

No, they’re not. They just look wide.

A Hyundai Palisade, Toyota Highlander, Honda Odyssey and a Chevy Corvette are ALL wider than a Bronco.

Those are all examples of huge oversized vehicles. Why do you need an off road vehicle?

I looked it up - A Bronco is 75.9 inches wide. A Tesla Model S is 86.2 inches wide. Nearly an entire foot wider than a Bronco.

Why do you need such a wide car?

You think a minivan, a regular SUV, and a sports car are all “huge, oversized vehicles”?

Ok, I’ll play along - what do YOU consider an “ordinary” size vehicle then? Give some examples of cars you think are appropriately sized.

You’re the problem here. Your concept of how big things are is absurdly off.

And some people want off-road vehicles because they actually DO go off-road in them. Or they might want to one day. Either way, it’s not your concern.

I feel like these are very “teen driver” coded, for whatever that’s worth.

My 17 yo and husband don’t agree with me though.

G Wagon is especially narrow. Have you driven the GLS on loaner? Does the Bronco feel that wide?

It's a cool car to get for a teen.

Yep. Half of DS’s friends have a Bronco. The Bronco and 4Runner are the cool boy teen cars.

It means they’re more popular and appealing to teens than adults.

When I see a Bronco, I assume the driver is male and aged 16-29. That’s the demographic that drives Broncos, although you’ll occasionally see a middle aged man in one.

They aren’t my style, but I know a few middle-aged moms who drive Broncos specifically because they could get them with manual transmissions.

[Anonymous]

How do they drive/handle? How reliable are they? How are the interiors/standard options?

The PP is thhining of the OJ Bronco...that was wide, yes

That’s odd, because I’m convinced by my own observations that the typical Bronco owner is either a female high school senior/college student, or female in her early 40’s who’s kids have aged out of needing to be in car seats or boosters in a minivan.

I think Heritage comes with the Sasquatch package which makes this car really good for off roading. But if you don’t care for that I’d get a cheaper trim.

Well, you're going to be running out of options very soon.

I've always had cars with turbos and never blown one once in 25 years. Some were modified pushing a lot more boost than stock.

But yes I'd love to have a non-turbo six cylinder Boxster or Cayman.

I’ve seen a lot of the latter, too.
