[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 984041, member: 52972"] rod, Ford Mavericks were small sporty economy cars that were built from about 1970 to 1977. Mavericks never had a 4 cylinder engines and they never had a diesel engine. The smallest engine they ever had was a 170 CID Inline 6 cylinder. They eventually upgraded the Maverick's trim and drive train and introduced a "Boss 302" version with a small block V8 and a model called "The Grabber" and the Stallion. After the Maverick went out of production in the US, they were still built and sold in Brazil for a few more years. If they ever put a 4 cylinder or diesel engine in the Maverick it may have been in Brazil, and they were never brought to the US. The only 4 cylinder diesel engine that I recall was the old 1980's VW Rabbit. They got good fuel mileage but the Rabbit and the diesel were plagued with problems. I bought a 1986 gasoline Rabbit for my daughter when she was in High School and it was broke down more than it was on the road.... I got tired of fixing it and bought her a little Toyota Tercel, which never broke down. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
