Help me justify buying a bronco.
I have been driving a 2011 Ford Escape for 10 years, and the time has finally come to get something new.
I have always wanted a classic bronco, and I am so in love with the new ones. I don't understand why Ford gets so much hate, I truly loved mine.
The problem is I am bit torn. My friends and family are encouraging me to pick the 4runner based on its quality and reliability. I like the way the exterior looks, but the interior was very bland. It was also a bit of a bore to drive, but felt safe and solid. It has 45k miles and costs about the same. I could get a newer Bronco for the same price.
As soon as I opened the door to the Bronco, I was smitten and haven't stopped thinking about them since. I honestly have no use for an off road vehicle, and it will mostly just take me to work and back. I prefer the look of the black diamond or the OBX, but am unsure why I should get one over the other.
My main concern with the Broncos are the quality. I have read some complaints of the plastic interior being cheap and it being a bit leaky, and creaky. My current ride has been leaky and creaky due to its old age and I'm not really interested in repeating that any time soon. Are these issues really that common? I have been scouring this sub reddit, and am just looking for reassurance and encouragement to pull the trigger.
