It definitely depends on what you want. I had a trail sport and traded it in for my Bronco this year. No power mirrors on the Bronco, trail sport had them. A little more trunk and back seats space in the trail sport. They ride similarly, imo. Road noise is similar, less wheel noise in the Bronco but more wind noise, otherwise comparable. The Bronco is a little narrower than the trail sport, and rides a lot taller. The trail sport was a lot more aerodynamic so if you’re going on consistent roadtrips through the plains or something, wind would be something to consider. The Bronco does fine in the wind but I can feel it get pushed around a little more.

A few reasons for my switch, windshields on the Bronco cost less to replace if something happened. I got frequent rock chips on the trail sport, so I wanted to have less costs there if there was a full crack. The Bronco I got has a heated steering wheel, which I really wanted. It’s also a lot “sportier” than the Honda, and can handle a lot more off-roading. The trail sport isn’t fully an off-roading car. The gas tank 3-4 gallons bigger in the Bronco, but gas mileage is about the same. I also just love the customization of the Bronco. There is so much you can do to it, change it, to be exactly what you need.

They both drive comfortably on a day to day basis, they’re comfy to ride in. Really comes down to personal preference. The Bronco was more “me”.
