If you have been reading posts on MTC for any lengh of time, you will notice that 99.9% of the folks love their Maverick. Hope they are still saying that after 5 years of ownership.
The seats in our 2023 Mav XLT are pretty comfortable but not quite as our 2009 Nissan Altima. I can drive 4 hours straight in the Altima and not have an issue. Best seats than any other car that I have owned and we are keeping it just for that reason.
There are always trade off's in life
If you buy a hybrid instead of a 2.0T Ecoboost, yes you will save money in fuel, but you will have a less capable vehicle. It's just one of those decisions you have to make when purchasing a Maverick.
