Hello to all of you and thank you for the "Welcome". I am a 7 months new owner of a C-Max hybrid (my first hybrid) and also has been a long time since I've been on a forum so please forgive me as I sit with trembling fingers and a rattling brain trying to remember the how-to's . I am from the warmer part of the map on the edge of Phoenix,Arizona. I was looking for some information on dead batteries and stumbled on this wonderful site. Never did I think I would own a hybrid though. My husband is 6'6" and we were looking for something larger then what this C-max is. But we were totally surprised when he could actually fit getting in it. Some cars are shaped where it's just too difficult for him to tuck his head every time he get in and the there's no leg room. He actually gets some good leg room on this. I have to admit I'd never heard of this car when we first saw it but in all fairness I've never heard of most the names on cars anymore there are so many. We do A LOT of driving so needed something decent on gas. We've learned over the months how to get more bang for our buck. I do have to say it's not too comfortable on the longer trips. Just doesn't have the thicker padded seats. But glad to save the $$$ on gas and took a few times to remember that the gas is on the "other" side when I pull into the pumps. Well, gotta go research the battery info. Thought it would be easy to jump it but I'm finding out otherwise. We just got a call from Ford service that they're sending someone over to get it started. So glad I found this site. Looks like a lot of friendly folks here. NICE TO MEET YOU ALL---HAVE A GREAT SUMMER :headspin: Sincerely, The Newbie in Arizona~~~Joyce :noobie:
