Hi, I just got my new 2013 C-Max Blue Candy on Jun 1, 2013 from one of the dealership here in Vancouver. So far, I love my C-Max only thing is that I got some minor issues like the shifter needs to be changed as there was a rattling sound underneath it. And I was informed only after I got it, that somebody smashed the tail light and back window causing the liftgate to be always ajar and also affected the electronic module at the backdoor. I was not happy about it and have asked the dealership to replace it with a brand new one but they say they can't anymore and instead gave me a 2 year (40K)free maintenance) plus a free remote start and cargo organizer. They fixed all the issues at the liftgate including the electronic module, and still waiting for the new parts to replace the shifter. Apart from that, I love the car, only discomfort that I have is that I felt cheated coz of the hidden story of the back door and the shifter issue. Fuel economy is good and I observed that battery kicks-in when a gradual speed upto 45-55km/hr. This is awesome and really save a lot of gas. On may way to work from Vancouver to Surrey, I am averaging a 20.8 km/L so this is really something that I am very happy about. I would be happy to hear any comment (that though I have those issues with the brand new car) if I really got a good deal by agreeing to get the car with those maintenance packages and freebees knowing that some minor issues exists though can be addressed by the free maintenance. Thanks, rrb
