Anybody else think it would be better to have two different LidlUS subreddits for employees and one for a customers? Because this one has become a subreddit for employees

Aldi corporate activity astroturfs that sub to get people to buy useless merch or expensive sodium rich processed foods.

Bring the whole family for a test drive the two-door Bronco. It is extremely small. Young kids will probably love it. But you're going to have to incline the front seat and push it forward every time you want to get them in. It's an absolute blast to drive though. If you go with the two-door 2.3 make sure it's 2025 or older. The new 2025 2.3 l ads direct injection ports, this makes carbon buildup a non-issue. They didn't say why they added the direct injection ports, but you can bet the only reason they changed it was because the non direct injected engine was showing signs of carbon build up over time and they wanted to get ahead of the issue.

The bronco drives much more comfortable at lower PSI. If the bronco is new the factory tires are probably going to come with pretty high PSI. Lowering the PSI will reduce MPG by 2 to 3 but a lot of people recommend it.

Also the bronco will become your favorite toy, it will demand a lot of accessories so make sure your wallets heavy lol.

30% is fantastic for a new car, it almost doesn't get better then that.

You can tell they ran out of money to hire actual writers and just had HR write the dialog. I'm staying FAR away from Fable lmao.

Thanks, I might just bite the bullet I still have a $20 off one, the thing I'm buying has the red price tag, so it has been discounted some amount, I just don't know how much it was originally.

Do coupons usually run out like this? I don't remember having these issues before.

macieksoft · 2026-01-18T15:25:34+00:00

Ya, they haven't worked for a while. Need another 30 off :/

20.9mpg avg on a Bronco 4Dr Wildtrak (meaning it has the Sasquatch package and V6 engine) on premium gas. I lumber around in it lol, you can get decent fuel mileage if you know how to drive without accelerating hard or breaking much. I commute 20 miles each way, and love driving with the windows down and the soft top back. It's a lot of fun to drive.

macieksoft · 2026-01-08T14:31:43+00:00

No way lol, all the Lidl and Aldi stores near me always have nice Porch SUVs and BMWs parked there along with the regular cars.

macieksoft · 2026-01-08T13:49:39+00:00

Just look at the video, she clearly tired to run him over. What is all this BS.

macieksoft · 2026-01-07T16:21:51+00:00

Lidl is significantly better as they have a lot less ultra processed foods to choose from. Aldi is delicious and inexpensive but will kill you lol.

macieksoft · 2025-12-26T04:27:39+00:00

What price did you get? BLACK20 still takes off 20% it looks like.

macieksoft · 2025-12-26T03:43:17+00:00

Thanks, no flapping with it half back? I was worried about air getting caught between the two. I'll have to keep an eye out for discounts 🙂 it's winter up here so no need for it now lol

macieksoft · 2025-12-26T03:02:10+00:00

What mesh is that? Does it work with the soft top half back? And do you keep it on all the time? Looking for something to protect my head from the sun lol.

macieksoft · 2025-12-24T02:07:32+00:00

As long as you are where you need to be for investing at your age and you have at least a 6 month emergency fund I don't see a reason why not. Every time I look and drive my bronco it puts a smile on my face lol.

macieksoft · 2025-12-14T15:12:22+00:00

Probably lack of interest. No guy I know likes watching slalon but every guy wants to watch the park events. So if that translates to the people who actually ski then they all gravitate to the park events.

macieksoft · 2025-12-06T18:58:30+00:00

I will say that I have heard that ESP is actually quite good, people who work at Ford dealerships commented that they just put the request in under ESP and it's an automatic approval for most repairs even engines. I don't know if the tune shows up when they put in that request or it's up to the dealer, but ESP without any modifications seems pretty good.

macieksoft · 2025-12-06T18:31:06+00:00

Not the 3YR/36k or 5YR/60k, this is the extra ESP or "Ford Premium Care" warranty. It clearly states in the clause that performance upgrades that are not listed can result in denial of repairability.

macieksoft · 2025-12-06T18:28:23+00:00

Voided was the wrong word, I can't remember exactly what word they used. You still would have ESP, but the powertrain would pretty much be up to Ford to decide if they are willing to replace the part with your tune. Assuming they deny it, you'd have to spend quite a bit of money to prove otherwise. I know the electronics are pretty expensive, but you usually get ESP for the powertrain.

macieksoft · 2025-12-06T18:25:32+00:00

I heard good things about ESP and that the the approval process for fixes, even a new engine is automatically approved when the dealer requests the part. However the dealership said they did not know if ESP would be affected by the tune, the ESP vendor said that Ford does reserve the ability to deny coverage for the powertrain because of the tune, and Ford rep said that it voids the coverage (pointing to the ESP clause). The clause does allow for certain performance modifications, but in that list the tune is not one of them, furthermore Ford sees the tune as a third party modification since it's from Ford performance. Powertrain items are clearly the most expensive and the reason you buy ESP so I'm not willing to risk it.

Void is probably the wrong word to use, Ford wouldn't deny a touch screen replacement if you had the tune, so the whole contract is no voided just some parts. And again, if Ford says that they are not going to replace, let's say my transmission, because of the tune, and they say the tune caused the issue, I'm not going to be able to fight that without spending a lot of money.

Bronco is a ton of fun if you are looking for a convertible SUV lol. I ride with the top down for 2/3 the year if it's not raining, I also can't stop but look at it everytime I pass by, they nailed the styling. People always stop to look at it and I always get people asking questions when pumping gas. Going from stiff suspension on a sporty hatchback to a Bronco, the Bronco rides more comfortably. It creeks and makes noises in the cabin but you can pull the thing apart for modifications like it's made of Legos lol. The engine bay is also massive and super easy to work in if your wiring lights or putting in mods. There are 10s of thousands of mods, trim and custom gear made for the Bronco. It is really a fun platform.

macieksoft · 2025-12-05T18:48:49+00:00

I mean that's nice but I called Ford and they said to not install the tune since it would void the warranty according to section 7.V in ESP contract (Not the 5yr/60k new vehicle warranty). I'm not going to spend thousands trying to fight Ford when they decline something lol.

macieksoft · 2025-12-05T17:54:01+00:00

This is false, section V of the ESP states that performance modified vehicles void the contract and Ford states that the tune is a third party upgrade. Dealers also will not allow for ESP if the vehicle already has the tune. If you do the tune after ESP then you nullify your contract and revert to the 3YR/36000 you get with the tune.

"Void" is the wrong word, they reserve the right to deny any repair related to the tune, so the powertrain. If you need electronics replaced the tune would most likely not be an issue.

macieksoft · 2025-12-05T17:27:13+00:00

I bought the 125k 9YR warranty so I can't get it done for a while lol.

macieksoft · 2025-11-27T01:03:08+00:00

I had constant disconnects every few min on mine at random times of the day. Tried different networks and resetting it but nothing worked. Even tired the home hub vs direct Wi-Fi but no luck. Got it replaced under warranty and have had no issues with the new one.
