As the title says: should I buy a new C-Max? I was all ready to do it but after reading through the forums, I am a little apprehensive. I guess the best question would be to you owners who HAVE HAD battery problems. Would you still buy knowing what you do now? I will need this vehicle for field service about 300 miles a week and many small stops. It will have to start every time I need to go. Also being designed for small trips it seems funny they are such power vampires they are not as well suited for a lot of start stop driving. Feel free to chime in! thanks
