How many of you ordered a Maverick without even test driving it?

I did not drive my last car (honda fit 2009) before buying it. I've driven it for 15 years. I will not have driven a maverick either. Read lots of reviews etc. There is not really another car that I want so there is not really any point in driving it

I sat in one on the dealer lot, retail order. I'm 6'4" so wanted to see how much head room I had and if I could lose 2" by getting the sunroof. I did not order the sunroof. I could not drive it, since it was a retail order, but at least sat in it (last Oct.). Mine is finally in production as I write this!

The title says all... how many of you? I ordered a Maverick without even test-drive it first. I did sit inside of a Maverick (hybrid) at the dealer's lot and ordered a Maverick with EcoBoost.
Ditto - exactly!

Never test driven one. Only ever seen one on the road... From a distance. 🤣

Drove both models & ordered an ecoboost. Daughter did not drive either and ordered an ecoboost, just got rolled over 23's (January orders w/no constraints. )Guess we'll see if she likes it, but what's not to like...if not she can flip it, if we ever get them.

It’s funny how I convinced myself to place the order without even seeing it up close.

Ordered one based on the escape 2.0 and how that one drives. My daughter has a 2017 EB titanium. After I ordered on the 16th then I sat in an XLT used, $42,900 on the lot. It felt great and I had my hat on , no sunroof on mine.

I haven’t sat in one let alone driven one but I have checked one out at a local Nissan dealer and confirmed it is just right size. I ordered my 23 Saturday the 17th

We placed our order beginning of Dec. 2022. Wife had looked at one at a dealer but could not get into it. I never saw one and neither of us drove it until our order arrived at end of April.

Very happy with choice, size, driving, etc. Great value - and we were coming from a 2017 Honda Ridgeline.

I saw one in a parking lot last fall, did some research and tried finding a dealer with one to test drive or even just to sit in. After no luck for a few weeks I ordered one from a smaller dealer thinking I'd get ahead by avoiding bigger dealers with more orders. 😔 Still have never been in one, but according to Ford CS mine is in AZ as of 09/19/22 so hopefully that will be remedied soon.
Same here, but ordered from largest dealer in USA thinking they'd have more allocations, without taking into account they'd have more orders too! But it worked out and I received mine on 8-8-22 (ordered on 11-17-21). So far really love the EB (and I never have used that word loosely!)👍

Never even sat in one. Only seen one or two close up. Started looking for a truck earlier this year and wanted something small (had a '94 Ranger and loved it). "Found" the 22 Maverick (couldn't actually "find" any). Been waiting to order a 23 ever since.
