1 Year with 2022 XLT Hybrid Maverick: The Good, Bad and Ugly

[Dad]

The rotary dial thing... I've had my Mav for 9 months and 9.5K miles and the dial thingie still perplexes me. Mostly, I really like it but the movement from "D" to "R" usually ends up being a move from "D" to "P", a few four-letter words, and then a movement from "P" to "R". Maybe I'm just a slow learner.

The brakes feel different than most other cars I've driven lately. Maybe a touch grabby just before a complete stop, but mostly just different.

The driver's seat headrest seems to be tipped farther forward than in other cars. That's probably a good thing, but it's hard to drain the last few drops from my can of diet soda.

I absolutely LOVE the heated steering wheel, and the blue/brown Lariet interior looks so much better in person than in pictures.

You'll get used to the rotary. I also noticed the headrests. Maybe, they're trying to tell you something about that diet soda.

The headrest thing started awhile back and is to reduce whiplash in a wreck.

No, just no! Diet Coke is one of those non-negotiable things in my life. I'll get new headrests, I'll get a new car, but I'm not giving up my diet coke.

How do folks feel about the lack of a standard shift lever. The circular type seems awkward to navigate.

A very detailed report, this is exactly what I was looking for! I actually posted looking for advice on the deep sleep issue myself...would NOT have the FordPass App running other than I want to remote start help? Also, your observarion on turn signal...assumimg it's the older style where the re tailights just blink a brighter red? IF it's a separate lamp as you seem to be implying I can simply install amber ones? I'm picking up my XLT Lux Pkg on Tuesday and would really appreciate any comments and further observations you might have. Thank you!
