Great post kostby, just a small correction. The Wayne Michigan Ford plant only produces the C-Max and Focus variants. The Fusion is built in Flat Rock Assembly. I've slowly started to hear C-Max advertisements on the radio but they now only mention "total system horsepower." No mention of fuel mileage. Ford probably doesn't want to remind anyone of the MPG rating fiasco.

Hello welcome! Congrats on the new C-Max!

My SEL was build Oct 2012. We've driven 57,000 miles and other than the TSB(s) we've only had a blown out brake light.

Only the 1979 to 1993 Mustangs share the same bolt pattern. 1994 and later has a 5x114.3 bolt pattern that doesn't match up with the C-Max.

Hmm, that piece price doesn't seem worth the trouble consider how much it probably affects actual mpg.

I'm pretty sure that the Oxford White still has clear coat since the clear coat is really important for UV protection for the paint. I've gotten a lot of rock chips on my blue candy c-max. Luckily, they are all fairly small because the touch up can't seem to match the color of the original paint. Or maybe I was applying it incorrectly but even though it's slightly off color/darker the chips are pretty hard to see after touching up.

Very cool info thanks Plus 3!

Really? Whenever I bring up the navigation on the driver cluster all it shows is a basic compass and if I have an active route on the navigation then it displays upcoming turn directions but it doesn't show the active map. Is there an option or button press to active the map into the driver cluster?

That's pretty neat that they can display the navigation right into the driver information cluster. Besides the stability Ford needs to add more computing power to make the system more responsive.

The rear deflectors look like they are just adhesived on the rear windshield. Any pics on what they look like from the inside? Thanks!

Great pictures! Can you take a picture of the rear windshield too? I saw an aero piece there on the prototype C-Max I saw a while back and I'm thinking that it would be another add in part that should be easy to install.

Just read this article that was posted on CR. Don't usually read often from CR but a tidbit from their article is interesting. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2014/02/ford-pairs-with-blackberry/index.htm I hope that part about downloading the new OS for MFT is true and I hope it doesn't apply to just the Edge and Flex.

The only issue I've experienced with the navigation is on long road trips. I drove from Michigan to Texas last December and it calculates the route just fine but when I deviate from the route (I want to take a specific route to avoid traffic or construction) the navigation keeps trying to reroute me back to the original route it had calculated. This goes on over and over until after a while it'll give up and display a "route calculation failed" error. This error will prevent me from inputting the same address again and calculating a new route based on my current position and route. It didn't go away until I merged back into part of the original route or got close enough to it. It wasn't a big issue because I've completed this trip multiple times so I know where to go but if I had never driven that route and the GPS started doing that error then a person could get lost or be forced to go back to the original calculated route.

Blackberry is not doing well but QNX is a subsidiary under RIM. QNX is actually an industry leader in embedded operating systems. Audi, BMW, VW, Chrysler/Dodge are among the manufacturers that use QNX. This could be a good thing for Ford. I do hope that they keep ahead with other developments when they mature (Apple and Android) but right now they are looking for stability which Microsoft has struggled to provide in MFT.

Ford was supposed to be rolling out an update that would enable Applink support. I remember reading/hearing about it a while back but haven't heard anything else since.
