I didn't even know a check was coming. I got one today. Complete surprise. Considering I've consistently gotten over 44 mpg in the 11 months I've had my C-Max I can't complain. But this has to be a huge blow to Ford's credibility AGAIN.

I am in a dilemma now where I am due to upgrade my iPhone, but I currently have unlimited data with Verizon. If I upgrade to a new phone I lose my unlimited data, and I stream all day while I am at my desk. So I need to either switch to T-Mobile or Sprint, or buy the phone outright. If I buy the phone for full price I won't have to change my current plan.

How did you get a lifetime subscription?

I need to re-up in the next couple of weeks. I am due to expire next month and the started sweating me already.They even sent me a "courtesy message" that interrupted my music, to tell me that my subscription is expiring soon. I like the music and sports channels to much to give it up, so I need to work a deal soon.

I don't have any scenic shots of MaxWell yet, but if you want to add it to the wall here is a pic.

I wish I had gotten the panoramic sunroof. So even though it is black I would probably go with the one with the sunroof.

I get that lurch as well. If someone finds out the recall number please let us know.

I think you just missed the cut. I bought my C-Max on August 10th and they announced it on the 17th (I think). If you bought after the announcement I don't believe you are eligible, even if your sticker had the 47/47/47. You may want to confirm that. As I said I bought MaxWell about a week before the announcement and I received my check quite a while ago.

I didn't need it because I already had my Garmin. I am planning to upgrade it and just wondered if the in dash system would be a viable alternative. It's not. Thanks everyone for the info.

I did not get navigation with my SE because I have a Garmin Nuvi that works great and I hardly use anyway (I end up using my iPhone with the Apple or Waze nav more). However, I am considering updating my maps on the Nuvi or getting a new one and wondered if it was possible to get the MFT navigation added after the fact. Is it merely a software or firmware upgrade for MFT? If it's possible I want to compare the cost effectiveness of upgrading my Nuvi to getting my MFT upgraded. I would prefer to do it through the built in display, but either one would work for me.

Lifetime average.

I think I may have spoken a little too soon. Right after starting this thread I seem to be getting back to normal. I am now up to 3.3 MPG and I seem to be getting slightly better FE on the freeway and even on short local stop-and-start trips. So I may be approaching my ultimate max, but so far it is still improving. One thing I need to do is monitor tire pressure and see how that helps also.

I went on Sunday. It was a long 2 hours and unfortunately because of their confidentiality precautions I have no idea who the companies are that the survey was done for. They basically separated the survey into discussions about what we like/don't like about our own cars and similar ones and our views on 3 prototypes. I suppose you could guess what the companies were based upon the body styles of the prototypes, but I have no idea. None of the three prototypes looked like Fords to me based upon the front and rear design features, but I am just guessing really. Anyway. I can't complain, they paid $125.00 plus free parking at Universal Citywalk.

Thanks McG. I signed up for Sunday.

I haven't been good about checking my tire pressure so I will have to start monitoring that. Also I plan to do an oil change at around 5K so we'll see if that helps as well.
