Ok well 300 plus miles today after picking it up . So some things I'm disappointed in but I have to be realistic I'm coming from a loaded 2019 Blazer and the only complaints with that was some window seals that liked to creak .

So the drive home MPG for the AWD Eco was 28.4 at 76 mph most a the way home.
Adaptive cruise works nicely.

Lane assistance was hesitant on this feature I had my hand gently griping the wheel it took off a lot of driver fatigue.

When engaged the lane assistance alert vibrates the steering wheel.

Coming from a very strong V6...your not going to have to worry about quickness...this thing has some dam pep. It small and light people.

Added the bug shield

De zee tailgate assist

My bungee net I had in other suv.

Very odd the windshield wipers you can barley pull the arms away from windshield...they hit the hood see pics

The bad that hood has vibration near the windshield I have seen some post on this haven't seen a fix or TSB..probably go to a dealer to report this.

The interior is gonna scratch easily...that could be a bummer for me with my OCD in cars.

B&O sound system sounds great 👍

I do wish the front of the seat right behind your knees would adjust down it does not.

My son didn't car for the
Passengers seat adjustment for tilt being right on top of seat belt...I can't confirm this issue didn't sit in that seat.
For now that enough...I'm tired was a long day. Here is some more pics

I bet the wipers are like VW/Audi where they sit below the hood and to change blades or pull them off the windscreen you have to pull the wiper stalk down once after the car is powered off (or some other combo of interaction) and they’ll move 90 degrees and stop.

Random question, but could someone verify what the height of the driver side seat is from the ground? Ground to top of the bottom seat.

Wipers are easily rotated up when the car is off. My ‘17 focus was the same way.

Don't just go yanking/dragging the wipers along the windshield. That is not how it is meant to work. The wipers have a service mode like many other brands:

1) Turn ignition on
2) Turn ignition off
3) press and hold wiper stalk down for a few seconds

The wipers should automatically swipe completely up and stop. This way you can do what you need to do.

With the amount of cars designed like this today, I'm surprised at the number of people who haven't ran into this. Both of my current cars are this way. I saw this on Reddit the other day and had someone confirm it will work on the Maverick (same as the C-Max).

The wipers move freely with the power off and can be positioned in the center to lift them up.

Use service mode. That is what it is meant for. If they wanted you to drag the wipers around while the car is off, they wouldn't bother with making service mode a thing.

I stand corrected. I didn't know there was such a thing thank you
