I apparently guess wrong last year when I cashed out early! Though I would have barely used the car in the last 12 months, but at least I would have one.

turns out the darned thing was a 2017. Somebody paid to not use that thing.
Also had a 2021 Acura TLX tech. so convenient to see just in case. No surprise, it was very nice and the wife liked it, and commented that the dash and controls (center stack) were just like her car.
They wanted I think 41.5k for it. Since the BMW 330i was the same price, pretty sure I would take that instead.

It's not as if anyone on here keeps a vehicle long enough to get to know it thoroughly.
We’re nothing if not consistent.
Hey everyone. Just wanted to update everybody. We got all of the carpeting & padding up. Took it as well as a lot of furniture & clothes to the dump. My painter/dry wall contractor came by. He cut some holes in the Sheetrock and pulled out some insulation. Despite the water in the driveway, I’m happy to report that all 3 cars are fully functional. Some water seeped into the floor of the Prelude, but it fired right up and we vacuumed it out with the shop vac. Then ran a fan and kept the doors open.
Thanks again everyone for your thoughtfulness and kindness.

cheaper too. would be about $24,200 OTD (inc. tax and tags). A lot cheaper because higher miles at 61k. But, I don't put many on so probably a fair trade. I guess because of the miles, not CPO though. Still only 3.5 YO (3/2018 in service) so at least it was driven a lot!
interesting option. Keep it for 5 years at my likely 5K/year usage, and and still below 90k.

That color combo does seem sharp. I really don't want a black interior.

$22,500 + TTL these days, just doesn't get you what it used to. though on a 3 year loan, for roughly the same monthly payment as the least on a Civic or something comparable, after 3 years I would own it.

If you can fit in it, it might like a fun little car to drive although when I was in one it seemed like I was sitting at the bottom of a basket.

If they’re making it difficult, maybe just go with the low bidder on the Maverick forum.

I’m sure the packages and color combos are specific enough that you really can’t build a unicorn that would be un-sellable

probably not. The salesguy (after talking to manager about deposits) said the same thing, and they would only ask for one if you went really weird. I assume that means like a bright orange base model with zero options or something. But I assume the XLT (that I built) will be easily the most popular trim level, and we picked the nice options. So pretty well loaded, but still quite reasonable price.
XLT, extra cost paint, moonroof, luxury package, floor liner mats, soft folding tonneau cover, and a couple other small things still only stickers at $28,700. A Civic EX stickers for that much.

Supposedly these aren’t much noisier. We’ll see.

But yeah, the Maverick is a great value even with options. Sounds like a great vehicle. What color are you going with? Did they have a guess as to how many months it would be until it arrives?
I have to stop at the dealer tomorrow to actually get an order in. They really have no clue at this point how long it will take since heavily dependent on Ford not running out of parts to make them. I do know that if you order an 2.0t they are being scheduled a lot sooner than a Hybrid. Could always spend an extra $1k for that, but would feel obligated to upgrade to AWD and that suddenly pushes the price up to about $32k.

The 2.5 hybrid should have adequate power for the Maverick. And the city mpg will be great for a vehicle of this size. For your style of driving it might be a good fit.
But (and I realize this is being picky) I just don't like the sounds that hybrids make. Not only are they loud and unrefined, but they can hold rpms sometimes at an almost constant level that can make a vehicle drone in an unpleasant way. When I test drove a 2018 Accord Hybrid EXL I expected to fall in love with it—but instead it annoyed the heck out of me. The lease was much better for the TLX anyway, but that Honda hybrid engine was a dealbreaker. Also the TLX was faster 0-60, and seemed to have fun getting there, rather than feeling like it was tortured and struggling. The Ford Hybrid engine seems similarly annoying in this video of the Escape Hybrid with the identical engine to what's found in the Maverick. He accelerates at 7 minutes in:

For me personally, getting the 2.0T for just $1000 more seems like a bargain. FWD only should still work fine with the 2.0T as long as you don't try jack-rabbit starts.
Here's a comparison number that I think is interesting. The hybrid has 155 lbs of torque. The 2.0T has 277.
If you ever fully load your Maverick with heavy cargo, say 1500 pounds worth, my guess is that the hybrid engine might struggle in some situations.

Speaking of sitting in the bottom of a basket... my brother met met in North Carolina when I went down there to get my trailer. He let me drive his ZL1 Camaro. Feeling like I was sitting with my rear end dragging on the ground was the least of my worries. Driving-wise....
I was blown away! I've never been in a car that feels like it literally wants to kill you... all the time! That's just way too much power for any car to reasonably possess. My brother said, "Okay, look... I know you're an old man now, but my car resents it when it is driven that way."
I wonder how many FWD 2.0ts they are ordering? Probably not a whole lot.
2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
I think Ford's 2.0T and 8-speed transmission in the Maverick are about as good as the 2.0T and 8-speed in the BMW 3-series. With it you transform your Maverick from a poky mpg miser into a vehicle that's as fast and powerful as your wife's RDX.
In terms of gas costs, given that you seem to drive about 8000 miles a year, I think the added gas cost of having the turbo would probably be about $400 a year The difference in gas costs with an Escape Hybrid and an Escape with the 2.0 turbo driven 8k miles a year is somewhere around $350, and it'll be a bit more with the Maverick.
2017 Cadillac ATS Performance Premium 3.6
math wise, the extra cost of gas is probably not that significant. Plus some of the miles going on the new car will come off the RDX, which gets crappy mileage to start with, so not going to lose anything there.
and zero chance I give up the moonroof, and I hate slopping up the carpets in the winter so all weather liners are a must. Especially up in snow country.

There are times I pick which car to take based on which one has more gas.

I do like adaptive cruise control, which is now standard even on a Civic LX, but it looks like you need to get a fully loaded Maverick Lariat with the Luxury Package to get ACC on the Maverick.

before I sold the TLX, I picked based on which one had sat the longest to make sure they would both start instead of having a dead battery.

ACC, not a concern to me. Plus I would be unlikely to be taking it on long highway trips where I might consider using it.
2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
but pretty odd selection of picture.
I like those, a lot. Not cheap to maintain, but at least this one sounds like a good base to start with. And great color combo.
no clue if the price is good, bad or indifferent. But probably going to hold it's value at least. Not a lot of nice, reasonable miles ones left.

Pictures are up now. It’s not black on black. It’s navy blue on navy blue
It has pictures now. Super low miles. Do you have room for an extra car?
