Funny the talk about the Escape and Maverick, since the Maverick is one of Fords top sellers, being constantly sold out especially the Hybrids. They'll have to order one to get one most likely.

Everyone I've talked to loves their Maverick,

Fords 2.0 eco for us has been flawless, in the 19 Lincoln MKC, it's got a ton of power, fast, economical, never been in the shop for any recall, mechanical issues, nothing. However for ingress/egress probably not as good as others mentioned.

IF they need something for that, one of the top selling vehicles for the 55+ group and those with challenges is the KIA Soul. Funny thing is KIA marketed it to be hip to younger buyers remember the hamsters bopping around to loud tunes, lighted interiors, then it ended up being snapped up by 60+ year old folks, not young buyers.



The doors open wide, low entry point, lots of room to get into the seats.

Or maybe a 73 Cutlass with the swivel seats for a bit of nostalgia..

Thanks for all of that HRK

I'm assuming, since he already has it & is getting 40mpg it's a FWD Hybrid
The AWD Hybrid isn't available until the 2025 models

^^^he’s right.

Looks like it is going to be a Maverick awd gas lariat addition.

Since they had the F150 we went to the ford dealer so they could look over the Maverick and see how it fit them. It was a winner.

Since they are not in abundant supply here we talked with a couple dealers. One gave us a good trade in. They liked the leather seats and some other amenities with the Lariat package and with receiving more than expected on their trade they opted for that trim level.

Dealer is working to get the exact rig and color (terrain or Cactus grey) and will complete the deal by the end of the month. Salesman was great to deal with. And no they are not selling them here with great discounts off of msrp.

Having been researching them seems like a solid little rig.

Its a good looking vehicle, nice utility and plenty of amenities available, just not a lot of them on lots, for good reason.

Hope they enjoy the new vehicle, I still like the 73 Cutlass with swivel seats, why don't cars have them today....

Nothing like an uncommanded swivel & a side curtain airbag to the face...

I am a fan of Edmunds reviews:

Well as long as we have Takata air bags its a problem anyway....

tleddy, why not just say what you want to instead of linking to something that is so busy and jammed up with stuff not pertinent to the topic at hand?

Would be my first choice on the Maverick or Bronco Sport. Looks great in person, IMO.

I like the 40-45 mpg I get from my FWD hybrid depending on season though admit not doing much Interstate driving.

The dealership is sending a mobile software upgrade tech to my house to resolve the five open recalls.

Wow. Memories. It's not the Maverick that I once had as the first car I bought.
