SummaryNot recommended. Ford's chunky 4x4 has plenty of space and two good engines to choose from. It's driving qualities are let down by bland styling and trim. |
ReviewThe Maverick is a perfectly capable off-roader but it just isn't that exciting to look at. The dull image means it won't stand out in a crowd like the pretty Toyota RAV4 and popular Land Rover Freelander. Both V6 petrol and 2.0 turbodiesel engines are available - the petrol model is surprisingly quick and handles well but in automatic form the gear stick is mounted badly on the dashboard. It's a big vehicle and interior space meets expectations, although headroom is a bit tight in the back. All in all, you get the feeling Ford could have done better.
