YES! The Maverick has buttons!

Nice article in Slate about this the other day saying the same thing: People like buttons, and the manufacturers are starting to notice:

I do have the lariat with auto climate, but I'm pretty sure all Mavericks have it, but the lariat gets dual zone instead of the single on the others.

I'm not sure as I don't have one yet, but the OrderGuide lists "Manual Single Zone Air Conditioning" for the XL and XLT, and Dual Zone Automatic for the Lariat.

I never understood why EVs all have gigantic screens. If I'm trying to squeeze every foot of range out of the batteries, a gigantic, always on back-lit screen seems to do the opposite.

I don't like screens but the power consumed is trivial. 0.00002%.

Or set on auto and regret it.

The Maverick will be both mine and my wifes first screen. I also drove vehicle without a digital radio until 2005. Finally got a CD player then. It actually takes way less time to tune in a dial radio then it does waiting for ages through the seek button and there is absolutely no need to look at it.

36ft on a standard EV. 5.25ft on a Maverick hybrid.

I think I'll stick with a touch screen. For a simple vehicle like the Maverick buttons work but on my Mach-E I couldn't imagine all the features having a physical button. There would be buttons everywhere.

Just look at the Porsche 997 from 2007. Over 47 buttons just on the center stack and there are even more buttons on the steering wheel......no thanks.

I am a big fan of a well-designed interface, with buttons, knobs, and screens working fluidly together. Ford did a good job with the Maverick.

The worst I have ever driven is my 2013 Chevy Volt. Love the car, hate the user interface. Capacitive buttons randomly vomited out on the panel, combined with multi-level menus on the screen.

I had a '21 Edge prior to my Maverick. It had the 12" Sync 4A screen -- which I loved. However, I wish it was 10", because I'd much prefer the climate controls to be physical buttons.

I'll buy that.

SCREENS should only DISPLAY.

Buttons & knobs should CONTROL.

I think that's in the bible.

I believe so ... I'm pretty sure I read that on the internet, so it must be true

For anyone who has ever pushed a car into a gas station, they know how hard a few feet can be. I always liked driving manuals, because you can just switch em into hybrid mode in 2nd gear and get atleast 25ft out of the battery.
