Now I Understand Why Folks are Willing to Pay $$$ over MSRP

[Decayed]

The mazda 5 was a seriously under rated vehicle. We had two and would still have one if they still sold them.

2023 Cactus Gray Hybrid XL, SIBL and Pilot 360 arrived 5/10/23, ordered 9/19/22. After riding in the truck the most common remarks I get from riders is that they can’t believe how little it costs and how long I waited for it. The Maverick replaces a 2012 Mazda 5, purchased new for $18000 (not including tax, etc). Taking into account inflation the Maverick is lower priced but much more vehicle. Reading MaverickTruckClub daily and tracking my build for almost 8 months I was beginning to wonder if my expectations were so high that the actual truck might be a disappointment. That is not the case at all. So far it has met or exceeded my expectations, worth the wait. Time will tell if it matches the reliability of the Mazda (160000 low maintenance miles).

Ordered my Maverick Oct 3, 2021. 1 year and 5 months later I picked it up. It far exceeds my expectations also. I have been questioned by lots of folks and "sold" 7 so far. Well worth the wait.

Glad you got yours!
Glad I got mine, even if I paid a premium!

I got my new (666 miles) used CO XLT for $41,500 BUT they gave me $21,500 for my paid off Corolla! So I financed less than $19,000 due to my cash down payment. Worth it? Yes, very happy with my purchase.

I've had a crazy variety of cars over 30 years, (3 MR2s, a first-gen VW Scirocco and a later Jetta TDI, an Audi, 2 Corvettes, a Datsun 240z, a Wrangler, an 80s Toyota truck and a 2nd gen Tacoma, a Mazda3, a Volvo, and a few others) and I think that the Maverick is my all around favorite. It's simple but fun, low-key but unique, zippy but economical, easy to park, useful for moving people and stuff, and so far perfectly reliable. I don't feel the need to show off with an expensive vehicle and I don't want to worry about parking something in a sketchy or unknown area. It's really a tremendous value, smack-dab in the middle of a bunch of sweet-spots.

Rich, you forgot one other thing: Unless you have a really bad dealer, you're not feeling "used" when you take it in for service. After decades of Volvos and Audis, it's nice not to pay $1200 for routine maintenance, which was the last 60K maintenance I paid on my Audi.

So very true!
