After spending 9 months searching for a high mpg car, we ordered a C-Max SE about a month ago. I've read about the C-Max and wanted to see it before myself before making a purchase. Test drove the Prius C (felt really light in the power depratment), The regular Prius (nice), and the Kia Optima Hybrid (clunky, loud, no thanks). Waited for the C-Max to finalyy arrive at the Ford dealership. Loved it. Solid, quiet, POWER. Now we wait... I kind of feeel good about buying an American made car, (although the last 3 vehicles Iv'e had, all Subarus were built in Indiana). My first car was a Ford Bronco (rolled it), then I burned thru a couple Escorts. I'm the more wiser these days, hopefull this is going to be a great car owning experience!
