My wife and I got our new C-Max Hybrid SEL on 30 August, after researching online ever since we test drove one at a Drive for Your School in the spring. We had wanted to drive something that we wouldn't actually be interested in. Then we couldn't stop thinking about it. I've always had something sporty, even a couple of muscle cars, but was ready for something new and with better fuel economy after my 2004 Sunfire started averaging a couple hundred a month for repairs. The C-Max is our first SUV type car but satisfies our desire for a touch of luxury and a kick of sporty. And now I'm old enough that I want to be comfortable, too! Mine -- ours ;) -- is Sterling Gray Metallic with the panorama roof. I'd have never wanted that roof, but it was on the lot with everything else that I -- we ;) -- wanted. I look forward to the information a forum community can share!
