This was previously posted, but locked due to issues with the person posting it.. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2013/06/20/ford-cmax-jd-power-initial-quality-study-iqs/2440589/ I wonder how the C-Max compares to other first year model intros.. Honestly I've had more issues than I expected.. New technology can have hiccups, but the fit/finish has been a slight disappointment. Fortunately my local Ford store has been awesome and has addressed anything that has popped up..

Occasionally this C-Max owner will post things on Ford's Facebook page.. With age, I've tried to become nicer... But sometimes you just have to laugh and say WTF!! His latest Ford Facebook posting..... "If you are thinking about getting a hybrid car, I WOULD'NT! It has high torque and when you take off, both the engine and batteries kick in. You can't help speeding away. So, the old demonChristians call the police and turn you in for speeding and they come after you. The police stopping hybrids, just when we need more of them on the roads to save gas. Why buy one, if the police are going to pull you over all the time? I would stick with an old fashion, gas wasting engine or tell the cops to back off on hybrids. It's embarrassing to be pulled over and have all the gas engine drivers go by, laughing at you for driving a hybrid. Until; the police are re-educated and leave hybrids alone, stick with all gas engine. I brought a hybrid to free me up from the pump, not to be harassed by ignorant cops, bowing to the dictates of demonChristians or jealous, they don't have one. The future is determined by the dictates of the past and sometimes by people who can see it."

The Hummer is courtesy of a convicted drug dealer.. The city uses it mainly for PR.. Today we were collecting items for Oklahoma tornado relief.. A Birmingham PD Smart was parked behind the Hummer..

Edsel...I stopped by my local service department earlier today.. The service adviser confirmed the A4 card..

Thanks for the info... I wonder if the build date format is month/day/year or day/month/year.

bkawaii7... 120 miles daily? Where are you commuting to? We use to live on the Westside of ABQ and my wife drove to Los Alamos daily. I miss red chile... My profile pic is from the Ghost Ranch.

I could only go back to a Honda Element. I miss the size, NOT having carpet, and the simplicity of an auxiliary jack.

Used my intro-tech shade yesterday.. Nice fit but a slight pain to fold up instead of rolling up.

Two years ago just outside of Birmingham..

Five minutes after reading your post, it is now thundering..

I hope your car made it through the storm ok...I'm glad it has been a mild Spring tornado season for us.. I think my entire state is still traumatized from 4/27/11..

I really like my C-Max..... But I did catch myself cruising the Buick dealer's lot last year.. The Lacrosse has a great shape.. If the Buick Encore would have been out last September, who knows what would be parked in the garage right now. Upper 30s for me on the interstate at 70+MPH.

I wish the car was a few inches wider.. Not really a good car for the bootylicious..

Have you changed where you purchase gas? I had a few weeks where my MPG dipped.. Nothing environmentally changed, but I did fill up at a different gas station. Just my two cents...

Sorry... Can't answer your question... But if I did more interstate driving, I would have a radar detector. The car likes to zoom.

I still don't understand the low 30s for mileage.. Even when my car pretends its part of NASCAR, it never drops below upper 30s.

Thanks for the info... The last tank was mostly interstate miles and its possible that I may have exceeded the speed limit during most of my driving.. The car likes to zoom..

Eventually I will change my profile pic........

After my last fill up, my C-Max reflected only 505 miles to Empty.. All my other fill ups have reflected upper 500s to E.. Anybody else have this happen?

Possible refresh for 2014... http://rumors.automobilemag.com/spied-future-ford-c-max-out-testing-216213.html?ti=v2#axzz2PvF4tNoA

I would buy the car again...MINUS the MFT/SYNC.. Resetting my clock almost weekly is getting old.. Sometimes music will automatically start streaming from my iPhone.. When I disconnect from a call, my radio turns on. I never use the radio. Plus the radar portion of the Sirius Travel Link for weather is incomplete.. A perfect square area to include where I live never shows precipitation. According to Sirius, it's an issue with my car not them.. Fords answer..."Wait for a software update". I love the seating position... Hands free liftgate is awesome.. I can hit upper 40s..low 50s MPG when I want to... Rumor has it, the car is fun to drive at 85-90MPH.. I'm not advocating breaking the speed limit.. Soo..yes I would buy it again...

Come on you gotta make a fuss over Valentines Day.. I woke up to a card from my dogs.. Still don't know who taught them how to write..
