Is the Hybrid Mavrick right for me?

[Rmay635703]

Maverick Hybrid is on my short list of new vehicles, I really like them. I'd avoid the 2.0 Ecoboost, I don't trust the transmissions they use.

I’ve been looking at high mileage hybrid Mavericks lately, not sure they are worth the price of admission for used 120k+ versions.

The 2.5 seems reliable but lots of folks with electrical gremlins

Right now I"m driving a '14 Nissan Versa Note. It is my only vehicle, and would like to tow and haul in a "bed". The Versa is a no tow, and no bed.

I'm looking around, and the primary use will be a commuter, 55 miles per day. So economic efficiency will be important.

I looked at the Sata Cruz and the Nissan Frontier. However, as a daily commuter, the stupid low mpg per mile kills them. Honda Ridgeline has poor mpg, and no hybrid.

Any thoughts? I'm on the right path with a used Ford Maverick Hybrid, or should I take the hit and just buy new?

55 miles per day and you are concerned re mpg? You need a Corolla ice for $24,000. Fold the rear seats flat to haul stuff. You could occasionally tow up to 1,000 lbs. You could occasionally rent a pick up. .02

Corolla and towing with its CVT? Is the 2.0 different with it's launch gear? I know the Cross allows towing but I don't think the sedan does (didn't for my year). And the cross through is not that large.

I’m a big fan of this vehicle. Sound system is pretty awful though so if I ever got one I’d have to redo it.

Plenty available new, any particular reason you’re looking at used?

What? OP asked for advice on a vehicle and I provided my opinion of the vehicle. For some people the color of the car is important. For some people the number of seats is important. For me the sound system is important and it's the one thing that stood out to me when I checked out this vehicle. Beyond of course the insane value it is compared to many other options.

Also new vehicle incentives continue to be excellent. Discounts, promotional financing, etc. while newer used cars, especially hybrids, are holding their value fairly well. If you count the cost of financing and overall cost of maintenance over the life of the vehicle going new isn't always a bad idea.

Not sure why you are upset with me.
