I appreciate you defending traction control. Sure there are times to turn it off when off-road. But, as you say, there are many times where having it on is better. As with most things off-road, different conditions require different methods. That's part of the fun of driving off-road, experimenting to see what works best.

Another test that would be interesting is the Escape vs. Bronco Sport. They are based on the same platform, so I wonder how much difference the programming on the Bronco Sport makes.

Cherokee Trailhawk blows both of these away, or really anything else in the class because it has a real low range and real locker. At least until Jeep "reliability" strikes, but the Compass will have the same problem.

Problem with the drivers today is they are over confident that 4wd will allow them to drive faster than they should during snowy slippery conditions.

Interesting comparison and nice job Ford. One comment is that you should compare current market price compared to MSRP. Ford is selling over MSRP for that model and Jeep is about 10% less. It does make a difference to the “average” buyer.

Hey trying opening the doors on these vehicles while in full flex mode to see if there built well ??????

i think the main gripe ppl have with traction control, is so often we simply don't have a choice to engage it, disengage it, or alter how it behaves. sometimes ur simply not gonna go anywhere with out some wheel speed. and with some traction control implementations, that's something you're not going to get.

I'm actually looking into getting a new car this year. Currently the only solid contender is the Bronco Sport Badlands (with the upgraded off road system). I'm waiting on some more info on the new Tacoma to see if I should do that instead, but right now I've been super impressed with the Bronco Sport with not just it's offroad capability, but overall a great vehicle. Good mileage, AMAZING safety, good look, haven't heard any serious issues (unlike the bigger Bronco), love the analog speedometer still existing, simple clean designed interior.

I think the issue at hand here is the fact that the auto mode in the Compass behaves like an actual auto mode, while the auto mode in the Bronco is much more aggressively tuned than necessary. This discrepancy makes the the Compass "appear" worse and puts much more emphasis on choosing the correct drive program. The tuning of the Bronco makes the GOAT modes seem less significant.

If you understand traction control or 4wd systems you will know that rock mode locks up the wheels the most aggressively and so it won't matter what terrain it is used on . All other modes allow more wheel slip. The advantage of going to a less aggressively tuned mode is to prevent sideways movement in loose or slippery terrain. The Broncos system simply is proving to be a lot better here at keeping 4 wheels providing power when needed.

I’d definitely choose the bronco sport. The Compass isnt worth buying at any price; it’s just a fiat with a different body. It would be cool if the Bronco sport badlands came with solid axles.

I have a ‘22 Compass Product (Red). It’s quite slower than any other vehicle I’ve owned in a long time, but it’s not that bad. I got over 30 MPG on a recent trip from Gettysburg to my house at the beach in Delaware. Admittedly it’s downhill most of the way through Maryland. I love this car. One of my favorite “daily driver” cars by far. I can control most in-car functions by simply saying things like “hey Jeep, find the nearest McDonalds” or “set the driver temperature to 68”. Etc. And with wireless Apple CarPlay I simply ask Siri to make calls or send messages or play my playlists. And the adaptive cruise control is so awesome. And IMO it looks infinitely better than the Bronco sport. And since this is a 22, my fully loaded Product (Red) Compass was about $35K I’ve owned 85 cars. 5 Vipers, 5 Vettes, a Prowler, Challenger SRT, Grand Cherokee SRT, Etc. But for a little daily driver that uses regular gas, and has all these features, this is at the top of the daily driver list.

That's just for the special addition heritage, you can buy the Badlands that has all the same s*** on it for thirty-five to. 37,000

I would think a better comparison would be the jeep Cherokee trailhawk. It has locking rear diff , like the bronco sport. Also has a 2 speed transfer case. In Canada the heritage only comes with a 1.5 l engine and no dual clutch diff. You need to move to the badlands model to get that. That puts it very close dollar wise to the Cherokee trailhawk. Much better comparison than the compass IMO.

Heritage and Heritage Limited are two different models. The standard Heritage is basically a fancy big bend, the Heritage limited is basically a fancy badlands

They discontinued the Cherokee.

The big thing no reviewer brings up is Jeep offers rebates on the Compass that drop the price thousands less than the BS. And when it’s in “rock” mode it seemed to be about the same off road although I think the BS would ultimately perform better because you can “lock” the rear end but it does cost more for that and the more powerful engine. And the interior decision could go either way but to me it’s much nicer in the Compass.

Why are the back tires of the jeep not centered in the wheel well? Shit looks like the axle got jammed forward

I absolutely love my 2021 Bronco Sport Badlands! I payed $38,000 in March 2021

Try that with a Mazda CX50. I’m going to Utah in September and want to see how bad I’ll get stuck

What would I buy ? I bought my used Cherokee Trailhawk for half that price. I think it would hang with the bronco sport and probably better. Cherokee Trailhawk is sort of between big Bronco and baby Bronco By the way , does the new Compass with the turbo get into a "brake bog" like the old one did ? Time to hit some of the TFL trails and see !

The Bronco Sport and Compass are in the same segment, which is compact SUVs. They’re literally exactly the same in dimensions and peak ground clearance. The Cherokee is also way more expensive than the Bronco Sport, so the Compass really is the Bronco Sport’s direct competitor.

The Cherokee is a compact whereas the Compass and Bronco Sport are subcompacts. The Cherokee also has a 4WD system that in operation more closely resembles that of a Wrangler or Bronco than a Compass or Bronco Sport.

@@TFLcar I did not hear about that. I like the Cherokee over the Compass.

It's funny how time changes. Back in my day, Chrome was what everyone wanted, & aluminum wheels.

The Bronco sport looks incredible

In my opinion a closer comparison tot he Bronco Sport would actually be the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, as the Bronco Sport is based off of the Ford Escape platform, and the Escape is much closer in size to the Cherokee. Plus, the Cherokee Trailhawk can come with a 3.2L v6 or 2.0L turbo i4 both making 270 HP, which is closer to the Bronco Sport's 250HP.

I understand what people are saying about prices. But these are basically fully loaded models folks. I don't check all the options boxes, and then complain that something is expensive. That's the same logic as eating everything about the buffet table and saying, that's a ton of calories.

$46K?!!! 'sound of needle scratching across a record'.

Buy the Compass in 2 years, gently used for $20K less then its a decent deal. I drove one for a couple of months and spent alot of time on trails, It did very well and was a nice daily driver. But definitely wouldn't buy one new for $46K

Users/divers can feel However they feel and do whatever they want. And they will. I used to sell smartphones for AT&T... I had someone buy a pocket PC phone which is very expensive back then just because they like the keyboard for texting... I also had someone return a pocket PC phone and swap it out for a flip phone because they didn't like the keyboard for texting... People have options and they use them... People are different.. So the driver can want whatever they want and the company has to provide it and that's it.

Who is spending $46k on these tiny cars?

Why do you say "tiny" like it's a negative? I love small 4X4's the big ones get stuck between the trees. All else being the same, I'd pay more for a small 4X4 than a big one.

Lots of people are. Dealers can’t keep the Bronco Sports on their lots.
