Typically, I’d agree with you, but in this case a fifteen minute drive to Home Depot and back and 5 minutes inside the cab and the issue is resolved. Going to the dealer and having my dash taken apart and reassembled seemed like more effort for me with possibly inferior results (new rattles)...

The fix for this rattle is to cram a piece of window screen spline into the gap between the instrument cluster cover and the main dash panel. Takes 3 min. I used the smallest diameter spline from my local HD.

“I've been in civics, in Kia Rios, Toyota tercels, cruzes, fiestas. There's always this underlying message of "We don't really care about you" that you get from something like a Corolla or a civic. It's a "They'll take whatever we give them" mentality. The maverick is the first entry level...

Amen, ctag. The number of warnings/notifications/animations is higher than any vehicle I’ve owned.

Mine changes throttle sensitivity quite a bit in Eco, very similar to our 2018 Prius in this regard. Significantly less sensitive . If you change modes while maintaining consistent throttle, you can feel quite a difference from Eco to Normal to Power.

This one is easy. I wish for two things. A) adaptive cruise optional on XL and XLT. B) better dash pad design to mitigate rattles.

Here is what I did to make my seats tolerable. 1) Cal King neosupreme covers. 2) three 1/8 washers installed under the bolts on the front of the seat track. I now rate my seats a 6/10, previously a 4/10.

Plasti-dipped my wheels anthracite. Can’t decide if I like this or the original silver better. My brain is tending toward going back to silver.

No. I have the knock off tux mats and they come with little clips that hold the mat edges to the panel trim. Zero issue.

Exactly what I was thinking when I bought it.

Me too. My dash clatters over every tar strip or pothole. Combined with the satanic high pitched wind whistle from somewhere around the a-pillar, I’m slowly starting to regret not getting another Honda if I’m honest. I will say that although Ford build quality is disappointing, they do A/C a...

Depends. The rattly dash and incessant wind whistling noise sap my joy. Under 50 mph on a smooth road, yes.

Thanks for those. Time to fire up the Prusa.

This is me. It is maddening. I have to go on a 500 mile trip this week and am considering taking our old 130k mile car instead of the Mav because the old car doesn’t whistle on the highway and the dash doesn’t rattle.

My white 2025 already has several chips on the side somehow. Super chip prone paint.

Window tint.

Finally got off my butt. Installed the textured hood protector I got with Ford points, installed the RC trifold tonneau cover that’s been sitting in my garage for two weeks, and touched up two rock chips in the incredibly fragile paint after a run to Hobby Lobby to pick up a super fine point...

One could say the same you mention regarding ecoboost about hybrids. Plug in hybrids are also becoming an outdated technology due to full electrics. Not to mention that for towing significant loads over long distances, ecoboost makes more sense for most people. Hybrids shine when you have stop...

Adaptive cruise as an option on all trims. I mean, a base Civic comes standard with it these days, as did our base trim 2018 Toyota.

Michelin makes good tires, but I had a set of Primacys on a former vehicle and immediately noticed an increase in impact harshness. IMO not a particularly a tire for smoothest ride if that is the #1 priority. I would suggest looking through reviews on Tire Rack’s website. They usually test...
