Tim, did you get this to work? My idiot TPMS light went on a few days after switching my tires and the Ford training tool I bought does nothing.

I've driven a volt for weekends at a time, and yea its more fun to drive. Its got a smoother and more planted ride too. But the poor visibility and lack of space really detracts from its driving characteristics.

The other thing to think about is that Tesla doesn't worth with dealers, Ford does. If you are unhappy with your car and want to give it back to Ford then that just wouldn't make any sense because Ford didn't sell it to you. You would be taking it back to the dealer at which you purchased it. Dealers have the ability to allow you to return your car if you are unsatisfied with it, they just choose not to do it because its bad for profit.

I say aftermarket. You can get a good set of wheels aluminum aftermarket wheels for very cheap these days. I got a set of 4 al wheels from one of discount tire's sales for $400 shipped. You won't find Focus wheels for that much, not even at junkyards.

Not sure yet. My Ford TPMS training tool is still in the mail.

I totally missed the load capacity of the Yok's as I never even stopped to think about the weight of the C-Max. You saved me a lot of grief. I ended up going with the Michelin X-Ice3s since they were really the only RR option. I got the tires in size 215/60/R16, FK Ethos Al wheels, TPM sesnors, and a new set of lug nuts for $980 after tax and rebates. All from ebay and discount tire.

While I far prefer the image quality of plasmas vs. LCD TV's, they use way to much power. IIRC, there aren't any plasma TVs that have an energy star rating.

You must have my car! Its always said that mine was a 2013 build in 2012 when it obviously wasn't. I've learned not to trust Ford ETIS.

Another reason I'm glad I turned in my 2005 Civic. There was another recall a few years back that my car missed by one year for the passenger air bag grenading and killing people.

I figured these issues were expected. Is there something that iOS 8.0x does work with?

A lot of it depends on what state you live in but you shouldn't be paying that much. My NRG MSRP was around $37k and ended up paying about $30k after Ford incentives and A-plan pricing. But with this car you should be able to haggle and get A-plan pricing or better. The cost of the NRG model is typically about $1k less than the hybrid model with similar options after tax credit. They really need to just combine the forums.

Sure did, no mention of the Yokohamas.

Winter is coming, and its supposed to be a bad one. I'm looking at getting some snow tires for my C-Max and am thinking of getting Michelin X-Ice3's. The reason being its the only low rolling resistance snow tire with the exception of the new Yokohama iceGUARD which there isn't much info on. I can get the Yokohama's about $100 cheaper off tire rack but I'm guessing they wont perform has well as the XI3's and I base that only on the fact the Michelin makes a damn good tire these days. Think its worth the risk of getting the Yokohamas? Anyone use them before? I'll be mounting these on some 16x7 aluminum rims that I got for cheap from discount tire. I'm thinking either 215/60/16 or 225/55/16 for the size?

You can, it just isn't lethal. High voltage DC is considered 60VDC and higher in which case a whole bunch of design and bureaucratic requirements come into place driving up cost. This is why golf carts never use higher than 48V systems.

Is it just me or are those 18" wheels?
