1989 Ford Bronco II XLT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had this car for over 13 years so most of the routine minor stuff has been changed out, including the engine and the transmission; however, the body and the interior remain in great condition. I had over 240,000 miles on the original engine and over 230,000 on the transmission before I changed those items out.
General comments?
This is not a perfect vehicle, but it is a great vehicle.
I couldn't stand to part with it when I wore out the original engine after over 240,000 miles, so I decided it was worth the investment to replace the engine to keep this fine vehicle on the road.
It is extremely agile, easy to park and quite comfortable.
I consider it a safe vehicle, the window design, that wraps around the vehicle with little obstruction on the sides, helps to ensure safe driving.
The seats, what can I say, they are so comfortable, like my favorite recliner.
I have a couple late model vehicles, but they just don't seem to provide the level of comfort that the old Bronco II provides.
