The Forester doesn't have a manual transmission option either so it doesn't matter that the Bronco Sport doesn't have a manual option.Bronco Sport - no manual transmission option. On the larger Bronco, there is a manual, but only on the base model. No other manual transmission offered.
I love my Forester, even though it is a dumpster fire on wheels. The Bronco Sport and Bronco 4-door are on my list of possible replacement vehicles for it when the warranty runs out in 2022 but I will have to see them in person before they truly make it onto the list. We really liked the new Rav4, but once we actually put hands on it, it was actually had a very cramped interior compared to the Forster. If the new Bronco/Sport are anything like that, then they will quickly be off the list.
