Lets talk about new vehicles

[Zee09]

This looks fine as is...right???

I had to look up what you guys were talking about, looks okay I think. Agreed though looks a bit awkward in light colors.

What was the first MY for Maverick, 20? Probably due for a little tweaking. Original is aging very well IMO.

You can get a 2025 in GREEN! Sold.

All the cool kids have green….with matching oil filters.

I spent all morning looking for a dark green mustang with a matching PG oil filter and this option....sadly no luck

Something of note on the Outlander Sport. Back in 2021 I picked up the orange one in Green Bay Wisconsin and they accidentally sold the one I had a hold on and later offered me the orange LE version and took I believe $7k off...I couldn't believe it and still don't .

It had only parking lot miles on it and it was perfect. At that time I had 3 Sport purchases under my belt so I knew all about them.

I drove it and I started to think I got a deal because it was somewhat defective as it was like a 55 Chevy gasser...the front end was jacked up and unlike the ones I had prior.

It was like the sedans of the 60s and 70s going to the store and throwing concrete bags in the trunk and squatting the rear and it drove with the tail wagging....you get it.

That is the way the 21 Sport drove.
It could be a bit of a handful. Yesterday I saw a 21 Sport and it was jacked up too. Not sure why but that resolved that.

The 24 isn't that way and I have 550 miles on it now and can't believe how refined the 2L is now. You can't even hear it and it's obvious the cvt has been recalibrated and is far more refined. It seems the bias now is geared to better interstate speed and top end.. Normally aspirated 2L tend to struggle at 75 to 80 mph especially considering southern headwinds on interstate 95.

The car seems to fall right at the 60 mph with very little effort during leisurely driving. It's a big improvement .

If I read that right you’ve bought 5 of them now? You remain a legend.

You are almost single handedly keeping Mitsu afloat. You get Christmas cards too?

Where’s the jealous emoji?

Gee thanks I think
One was a gift to my folks in 2014...
It's still going strong New owner of course.
They don't have any in green

 

[KCJeep]

No green no sale.

 

[Zee09]

No green no sale.

You need to go Maverick green

I truly wish I had purchased a Maverick early on. Such a nice platform.

Maybe you can soon......
At least in 25 you get a far bigger screen and better availability.. the mpgs will save you a ton....

Darn this thread, now I want to go buy a new car.

What was the most miles you got on a Mits - or the one your parents had and still going?

The 2014 has 270k on it
Same cvt and motor
No major repairs

I'd buy a Maverick Hybrid for the same price as the sport..can't be beat...

 

[Zee09]

Maverick wheels

 

[Quattro Pete]

Dang, look at that wheel gap... does your head fit in there?

 

[Zee09]

You are a fortunate man
Your heart is 1 year old.....( rebuilt)
Mine will be 10 years old Easter Sunday this year...

It wasn't fun time but we survived....
A Maverick is in your near future sorry but it needed to be said....

 

[Zee09]

In that heavy snow the gap got clogged up as the snow gave very little clearance with the front tires removing snow with every turn.

I'd like to see VW come out with another luxury sedan even though I doubt that will ever happen. I guess the Atlas is the flagship...

I guess I'd have to go over to Audi and I know they aren't real popular here but i like them. I don't think the VW experiment worked well here.
