Turo is a service that allows people to rent their personal vehicles. Think of it as airbnb for cars. Later on in my posted I referred to it as the Turo Maverick for brevity.
My VW GTI is also a 2.0 direct injection turbo, and the Maverick I rented on Turo was ridiculously loud compared to it...
In my previous post, I rented a Maverick on Turo and posted about 3 issues which felt like potential deal breakers for me. My ordered Maverick arrived this week and I took it for a test drive and specifically paid attention to these 3 items
Loud clicking/rattling noise from engine/engine bay...
Since I got the first and only scheduled email, my build has gone from 2/22 to 2/21 to 2/24, and currently 3/1. No emails for any of the changes after the initially scheduled email
I never said anything about expecting it being quicker than the GTI, I only said it felt significantly slower. You just made a particularly condescending assumption. I only expected it to have a reasonable quick/fun level of acceleration based on other users' posted experience. Subjectively to...
I messaged them. Answer was no, the Maverick is completely stock with nothing done to limit it. They have two, nearly identical and they say they drive/feel the same. One is specifically used for renting, the other is one of their personal vehicles they also rent out. I had the latter. They also...
To be fair, it's been something like 10 years since I've had the highlander so it could just be that seemed like it was quicker at the time. I definitely remember it having a soft suspension. Suspension feel was one of the things I like about the Maverick
Edit:Typo
I agree, seat comfort and driving position is probably the most subjective part of a car experience as it is unique for everyone. Even people with relatively the same and weight may not have the same opinion of the seat because they prefer different driving/seat positions which causes them to...
I'm starting to look at what other options may suite my needs. People are focusing a lot the sluggishness, which seems like it might be an issue specific to my rental, but the seat alone may be enough to be a deal breaker. What sucks is I otherwise really like the Maverick's interior. It's not...
The general consensus here is that something seems off with the one I rented, certainly could be the case. I'm thinking about finding a dealer around here to see about a test drive of a different one for comparison
87 octane is the lowest you can get around here
I don't think that's how it works, but it doesn't really matter because I haven't cancelled the order. I was going to give it one more chance when it showed up as it is already nearly built. My dealer also doesn't require a deposit
It felt off, and stood out to me because I'd seen everyone else talk about how quick it feels. I know a few people on the forum even take their Mavericks to the track and post their pretty respectable times with both stock and modded Mavericks. It was mostly accelerating from stopped or low...
No trolling. Genuine surprise on my part because I was aware similar numbers were reported for them. I didn't understand it either. My partner also commented the Maverick seemed sluggish, and it felt different to the test drive I did previously, though that was a very short drive. I've not heard...
Thanks, glad you love yours. My only goal is to be happy in my vehicle, whatever it may be
One reason I went with Turo is it's more akin to borrowing another person's vehicle then it is getting a questionable rental from a giant rental company. Not perfect, but short of knowing someone who...
Scott Asheville made the same suggestion. If it weren't for the price, and that EV towing still seems to have a few kinks to iron out, the Rivian is cool
If Ford made an EV Maverick, it would probably eliminate 2 of my 3 issues
I honestly hope that that a Maverick BEV comes along in the next few years. I assume it will. It was kind of a thought that I might get an EcoBoost now and a BEV whenever it comes along, though my partner has her eyes set on the ID Buzz, and I have to admit that I'm kinda interested in that too...
This is very well said. Thank you
If I don't buy the truck, which is how I am currently leaning but not fully decided, I do believe that someone else will jump on the opportunity. I knew it was a risk to order a truck I had no experience with, but I also knew if I didn't order then the...
