What do you (will you) miss from your old vehicle in the Maverick?

[Meintc]

Rear legroom - the Honda Element had more rear legroom than any car I've ever been in. Also removable rear seats that turned it into a little van. I need the canopy for my Maverick to keep my gear dry in the NW.

I may have 2nd thoughts about selling it but I don't need another car in the driveway.

I too would like to remove the rear seats, since I would not have a need for seats very often. Maybe I could somehow make a platform to fit on top of my seats.

Kia Niro PHEV - Just about nothing. Highway drive assist maybe, since to Kia's credit it actually works better than the system in my (non-Bluecruise) Mach-E. Everything else about it can go to hell.

Fiat 500e - Everything but the range. I still love that angry skittle, but 140km isn't enough.

Mach-E - Heated seats, wheel, giant panoramic roof. But I'm planning on keeping it, so I'll only be missing it temporarily.

I have a 2012 Suzuki sx4 awd with a 6 speed manual. I will be driving the Suzuki for the manual and for bad weather and I’ll drive my hybrid for the gas mileage

I have to say, I have had my truck for 9 days and I have yet to miss the Suzuki . We still have it and are just figuring out what to do with it. The airbag light stays on which is a safety issue and a potentially expensive fix, especially for a car that is worth $400 or less.

I'm really struggling to get used to a switchblade key that actually goes in the ignition again. My last four vehicles have been push start/keyless entry and I still find myself grabbing the door handle to just open it, then dig my key out. And as sad as it sounds I often put the key back in my pocket only to realize I need it again to start the car. First world problem but it's been the hardest for me to get used to. If for no other reason that this I should've gone with a Lariat over the XLT.

Seriously just change to Lariat. The keyless entry and push button start is why I upgraded. My wife has a car with all the electronic stuff. So much easier to touch the handle to unlock the doors instead of digging out your keys.

I will miss the smelly AC, lousy 6 speed auto and under powered motor. Plus the creaky door panel trim.

Auto windows, I went with just an XL. Funny thing is I have cruse control on my car and I never use it anyway even on long trips lol

 

[Barracuda340]

Looking more and more like I will go XL as it allows me to choose more of what I want with a 2.0T AWD and 4000 lb trailer tow group, plus sunroof, fullsize spare option wise and not what I dont want so I extra $$$ to customize it the way I want.

Planning on light weight custom aluminum wheels, customized Katskin leather seats, sliding bed cover, some driving lights, and a few other extras. I will sure miss cruise control on my current DD If it was offered as a $200 option on the XL, I would certainly pick it. I suppose the aftermarket will come out with a kit to add it on after the fact.

Possibly ford will offer it as a $200 option on the XL maybe in 2023 along with a more neutral dark charcoal color grey plastic interior instead of that dark navy blue? One can only hope

I agree that’s been my problem this week on my XLT trying to open door or tailgate with tools and snow. Fumbling for the key. Haven’t done that since my 2007 Acura. All my F150s and Bronco Sport had/have touch entry and push button start and the heated steering wheel. Maybe my Lariat Maverick on order will come some day and I can swap. Loving the gas mileage!

I'll miss parking in the smallest of parking spots

More interior space

I'm not getting rid of my other vehiles. Have a 2015 Chevy Z 71 cru cab for the floods big snows ect 2. Wife has a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Family Vehicle lite snow rain ect im tight in it . 3 When and if I get my Maverick it will be the all around vehicle i fit great in it just like my Z 71

Good Gas Mileage lite hauling out to town ect so I'm adding to the Family .

Wireless Apple Car Play, a better audio system, the handling of a small car, heated seats, decent engine sound. Fortunately most of these can be dealt with.

 

[CenTexMav]

Better audio system than my XLT has and the 6 speed short shift manual from my previous car. Those would rank high as features I most miss. Otherwise... love the truck.

 

[TCK]

I will miss not having to overload a roof basket to tie all my camping gear to. I will miss the space my dogs had in the Sta-Wag. Really I will miss it not being a sta- wag, but we don’t have those anymore.

 

[Z_ealot]

Will miss nothing as far as my personal situation, just adding to the collection lol
