Just got our $475 check today as well. It came as a complete surprise.

All,

I got used 2013 C-max with around 22k miles ; now with two weeks in my hand i never got anything more than 38.5mpg with all the hypermilling i could do and following all the tips and techniques posted on this forum, (no A/C; P&G.. etc..) in city driving (15miles) The max i could do is 38.4mpg... Im not expecting for 47mpg but atleast 43 to 42 would make me happy...  this is still 4-5mpg difference.. I researched and found there was update to improve the mpg; how to check if my car has that update??  Also noticed the ICE would turn on as soon as i hit 30mph... never able to run car with the battery alone above 30mph... also when i take off foot from pedal and let car glide (shows EV sign in display) I sometime hear the ice running, its not off completely... not sure if this is the cause and if it is how do i fix it...?? Shoud i give call to dealer...

 

Thx all for your inputs...

bob!

We have a 2014 with about 1100 miles on it. We are getting between 39 and 41 consistently in mixed use driving. I think mileage is very dependent on maximizing your use of EV mode and staying off the gas pedal.

It sure looks tan to me.

Apollo thanks for posting the pix

i dont like the 2 tone look

we will see what the wifey says

took much of a contrast

how has it been for spills and dirt on the tan?

i suggest zymol leather cleaner if you have the money otherwise use Lexol leather cleaner and Leather conditioner (2 different bottles)

great stuff

You're welcome. No spills so far. I have both Zymol and Lexol in the garage. Got it covered.

Welcome and congratulations on your new C-Max.  I also traded a 2012 Ford Focus, could not stand the problems with the transmission, hated that car.

Our tech replaced the clutches last January. We had a very slight leak and an occasional harsh shift. Other than that, the trans was perfect. After the clutches and seals were replaced, it shifted even better - very smooth. My wife liked it except for the frustration of an occasional hard start and getting in and out.

ApolloBeachRetiree,

 

Congrats on the new C-Max! I'm here to help with any questions or concerns you might have. Just let me know if you need me. :)

Ashley, thanks. I was talking to Breanne in HQ service yesterday. She called to say good luck with our C-Max and to report that our part for the Focus had finally arrived. We waited over 4 months for a fuel pump. The Focus had an intermittent hard start problem that pointed to a bad fuel pump. I told the dealer about it when I traded it on the C-Max and they said they would take care of it.

 Please post some pix of the interior / seats with dash as Id like to see how it looks with the 2 tone look that I dont like

We are pretty sure we will get terling grey one and I prefer the darker interior but wife may want tan but its so darn hard to stay clean

yes darker shows more dust but hides marks that are impossible to hide on lighter seats

will have to see one in person with both color options at the dealer before we make a decision

 

enjoy your new car and welcome

I'll try to take some pix this weekend. The two tone dash is quite nice.

Just took delivery of a 2014 Sterling Gray/Tan leather SEL Hybrid for my wife. We traded her 2012 Focus Titanium from which she was finding it increasingly difficult to get in and out.

Price, price and price.
