RetAFEng Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Ordered my C Max 9 weeks ago and it arrived on Friday the 20th. A nice Ruby Red with med light stone interior, 303a with sunroof. They told us originally that the arrival date would be around the 20th of July. I told them that when it arrives they can have it because I was not going to wait that long, my wife is on the waiting list for a new knee and the Focus was just too hard for her to get in and out. Got a price on a Buick Encore with similar options for very close to the same price. My salesman did some web searching and finally found one with the right colour combination. We order a 302a and ended up with a 303a for the same price for waiting. After a weekend of driving around town we just could not be happier. Very comfortable, easy entry and exit and great fuel mileage, almost half the fuel consumption compared with the 2013 Focus, tomorrow I setup the automatic wipers.

scottwood2 Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Congrats and welcome to the fun club. I still love to drive the car as much today as I did 18 months ago when I picked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxHeadroom Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 RetAFEng, you made a good decision. I got a '15 cmax se, also red, 7 months ago and love it mostly. The Wayne MI factory that makes it is horrible on fit & finish of the body panels and doors, but otherwise things are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wayne MI factory that makes it is horrible on fit & finish of the body panels and doors, but otherwise things are right.I must be lucky. The fit and finish is excellent. Door panels, door and hood gap very even. Love the car except the 9 speaker Sony system leaves a lot to be desired. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetAFEng Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 The only thing that I found was the weather stripping on the front passenger door was not installed properly. I saw this because I noticed the yellow alignment pin was not in its' designated hole. A three minute fix and all is good.I did not realize that the state of charge on the battery would fluctuate as much as it does, but after 200kms the mileage according to the computer is 4.7 Lt/100 km or 60 mpg imp, 50 mpg us. This is all city driving with speeds ranging up to 50 mph or 80 kmph and the terrain having many gentle slopes and some steep ones. It seems that if I am not driving up a slope, then I am coasting down the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
