    What does this car say about you?

    With the chrome front grill, round lights, i think it says i like flash motors, and like the idea of showing off, the size of the engine and body, i think it says im not interested in being enviromentally friendly, however, it is the vehicle that I am happy with and I don't believe another 4x4 could do the same job.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    They think it is perfect for my personality and they think it says a lot about me. however they also think it was time for an upgrade but all I can say is atleast my maverick doesn't fail the MOT unlike there newer cars.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    I would definitely buy this car again, it is a shame they changed this model in the 2000's and made it more car like, but this model is ideal for anything, it can handle the winter, towing is never a problem and it looks very flashy no matter what the age.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    It is unlikely I will be replacing this maverick anytime soon, but in time I think it will be replaced with another ford and likely to be an American ford.
