I can tell I'm really going to love this forum! We have a NO BACK SEAT DRIVING RULE at my house, If it's not your car, NO BACK SEAT DRIVING, funny thing, we always take the Rover and I'm always driving! I guess that explains the low miles on the C-Max hmmmm ;) Kelleytoons. I have had a few Bugs in my day.. I restored a 57 rag-top as a daily diver back in the 80's..

Your cracking me up. To answer the question, no I pay for everything ;) Ive been marries 24 years and my wife has never owned a new car. She's a stay at home mom, or was, the kids are grown and gone now. She has a rotten back (previous accident) and was driving a XJ6 jag which we had for years (her dream car) I hopped in to it one day to put gas in it for her, and quickly realized that she should not be getting in and out of that car, its just to low the ground. So we went looking for a new car, and mean looooking 3-4 months The first car she drove was the C-Max we purchased! I think it had 20 miles on it, and I'm sure we put 18 of those mile on it during the test drive. I've been a car guy from day one! I own three Range Rover P38's, which I rebuilt from the ground up. I own a 57 Chevy restored. I have built Motorcycles, Jeeps, VW's,Trucks, boats and so on..Currently I'm building a new motor for one of my Range Rovers. I'm a GEAR HEAD at heart! I own a website www.becmdoctor.com The C-Max is out of my league, I think, I'm sure I'll learn a great deal with the help of this forum. Thank you all for your support to the forum! Scotti

Doug thank you so much! I feel so much better now, I really appreciate your reply. She drives the car about, 21 miles round trip. I'll check with the wife when she gets up about the dash lights, I'm sure your right on with the brake. I love the car, she wont let me drive it, but I do love it! I'm thinking about selling my R.R. and buying one for myself. Scotti

Let me intro myself, I am Scotti, I love our C-Max I've only put gas in the car once since our purchase in Oct. 2013 we purchased the C-Max for my wife, it now has 700 miles on it. She only drives it on Wednesdays where she is a volunteers at the local hospital in town. Unfortunately, last week she got in the car to leave work and it wouldn't run! She said she pushed the button 4 times before the car would run! hmmm this is not good. I'm not sure why the engine wouldn't start and drive home if the battery circuit failed. Thank you for your input!!
