Konig-Wolf, congrats on the new Cmax. Sterling Grey was my color of choice as well. Enjoy getting to know the car. There's a lot to it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Aside from my C-Max (which I've had very good luck with: no major repair/battery problems), I've got to say that my favorite car was my Subaru Legacy (circa 1989). That was my first NEW "luxury" car, and it ran like a dream. The C-Max isn't for everyone. but I've enjoyed being one of the first "pioneer" owners.

Congratulations on your new acquisition, Kelleytoons. Glad you're enjoying the car, as most of us on this forum do. Feel free to ask whatever questions you have. there are a lot of knowledgeable people on this forum, all of whom have been where you are!

My partner was thinking of buying a new Escape. We had also seen an ad for a 3 year lease on a 2014 Energi: $195/mo. What a deal! We went to test drive the Escape. He liked it, but wasn't thrilled. We test drove the Energi (even though he had driven my C-Max several times), and with an OTD price of $230ish/month, we went with the Energi - Ice Storm. When we were signing the papers, the salesman mentioned that the price in the ad was actually a mistake: they were losing a couple thousand on the deal, which I believe! But they would honor the ad price. Rarely do we get that lucky -- it's nice that it happened with this car! His payment is lower than I pay for my 2013 C-Max. So far, so good. Everything works as it should. So now there are two C-Maxi in the driveway (well, one in the garage). One problem, my C-Max is now the "old" car, and so got kicked out of the garage. So be it! They look great together. Now I'll have to start another membership on the Energi Forum.

Mildred, congratulations on your new C-Max. As others have said, don't worry so much about all the technology in the car, but just enjoy it as you learn about all the bells and whistles. Many you will use, and others not. And know that there are a lot of people on this forum who are glad to answer any questions you may have. This forum has more friendly, knowledgeable and patient people than any other, I believe.

Jus, I'm glad you and Maxine have been reunited, and that the relationship has picked up where it left off. Good luck as you move forward. I hope you are feeling as fantastic as Maxine looks!

But I bet they aren't in a drought like we are.

Jmonty, good luck with the new car. Hopefully you will all feel safer in the snow. Thanks for being a member of the forum.

I've found that my "actual" (Fuelly.com) mileage is consistently lower than the computer display, usually by a mile or 2.

"I'm guessing that wouldn't begin to offset the other BS" ... BS -- I'm guessing you're talking about our Beaches and Sunshine! :)

Ditto! I was away from the forum for a bit, and when I logged in here I find you and Maxine under doctor's care. Bummer to the Max! Hope you both are recuperating well. You've been in my prayers as well.

Ours has been moving DOWN toward 3.50ish. Nice.

Laurel, glad you finally got your check. As a founding member of the forum, I think you should have been one of the first to get it! Enjoy your new insurance policy! :)

Congratulations on your new addition. Best of both worlds!

Jason, congratulations on your new purchase. Enjoy learning all the little idiosyncrasies of your new car. There's a lot of great info on this forum that can help you do that.
