Review: Living With a 2022 Hybrid Maverick XLT

I stumbled on this video before, I was kind of baffled by this guy because he had a hybrid clearly before they were released. I assumed when I saw the audi that he was some influencer.
Very strange to see such terrible camera quality and camera work in a press car lol.
Not trying to be an ass but it is a whole new world out there.

He used to be with Vehicle Virgins, and Parker cut him out with some drama. He continues to make videos, but uses what looks like a cellphone - he is getting low views, as production and audio quality is so low compared to other channels at this size.
I will miss the push button start - that is for sure. Can't get hybrids in lariat in Canada. Such bs haha.
No offense but it blows me away how so many people bitch about not having push button start and having to put a key in the ignition. It's not like you got to get out front and crank it like an old model tee, I just don't see the big deal.

It's called preference.... everyone has them, yours is different than others. I don't see what the big deal is to someone preferring to have push to start?

Yeah, I hate my iPhone's touch screen. I got a big case for it that lets me activate the phone with toggle switches. So much better. Ba humbug technological advances!
It is just super convenient to not have to pull my keys out of my pocket, and there is nothing hanging there to hit my leg or make noise. Also I recently got a smart lock on my house so I don't have pull my keys out at all which is nice. Finally in one review they noted it but you just turn on a hybrid there is no starter so it is an odd feeling turning a key.

If you have ever had it you would have seen the convenience of it.
And when your next vehicle does not have it you will be annoyed not having it.
I had both "Push button Start" and the unlock door feature by putting my fingers in the door handle all why not having my keys out on my 2015 Honda Fit that I sold to Carvana.
I will adjust by not having those features on my Maverick and since I am driving the wife's CR-V without those features I am getting more used to keeping the keys out.
I'm with you, I seem to have a high tolerance (for a millenial) for many things deemed "inconvenient" today like using my keys to start a car or open my door and opening my wallet to grab my credit card to pay instead of using my phone. I'll gladly pay $100 less (or even $10) less to not have push-button start on my vehicles, but If someone else deems it worthy of paying for, no skin off my back.

Me neither. I did mention this with a co-worker, and she said it was just nice not to fumble around with a key, and to just use her hand to unlock her car. I still say what's the big deal, most homes still need a key to gain access to the home, so you are still fumbling for a key. But to each their own.

Somehow, I think we can all adjust one way or the other

I think that's the main takeaway here. Like for me, I couldn't give a darn if it has push button start or a hand crank like a Model-T.
However, I want a gosh dang power seat with at least 8 directions, preferably 10 or 12 so I can dial in the seat bottom tilt (think thigh support) just perfect on those long Interstate drives.
Because of that, the lowest trim I'd consider is the XLT Lux, which is actually the one that I want.
Where was the bitching? You sound like one of those guys who doesn't want anything to change and just prefer staying back in the caveman days.
I hear it all the time, the guy in the video said it probably 3 freaking times get what you want I couldn't care less, it's a statement I made, not a dick and I said no offense so lighten up Francis !Where was the bitching?
