Yeah, what 62Lincoln said!

I am currently watching "Big Bang Theory" and drdiesel1 reminds me much of Sheldon. It also reminds me why behavior like they display on sit coms really doesn't work in the real world. It is neither funny nor endearing. LOL... smh...

I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this thread. I am considering a purchase and it is important to know what you think of your vehicles long term!

I think the Fusion looks OK but I really like the open feeling of the C-Max cabin... I just test drove a used CM Hybrid at a local dealership this weekend. It felt ok. 23,000 miles and they wanted 18,900 before haggling. But it was an SE and I had wanted an SEL with everything. They also had a 2015 Mustang convertible there. Holy Cow have they made a fantastic looking interior on that thing. It was sooo tempting... but in my heart I hug trees, so I will keep looking for a C-Max... Is active noise cancellation on every C-Max or is it only on some levels with some radios?

I am really considering buying a C-Max, but I have serious concerns over reliability. I am seeing some very good deals on CARMAX and similar sites. I am SO GLAD that I didn't have the money to purchase one when I first discovered it. (I went in to look at a Mustang and walked out wanting a C-Max.) I have had a Suzuki Aerio SX AWD for the last 12 years and it has served me well. It has a similar European profile and hatchback body style. I plan on driving it till AWD is no longer an issue here in Northeastern PA. So I may be looking at a used 2014 and not a 2013. I am still considering whether an Energi is worth it for me. I work 8 miles from the house. But I did just see and sit in a new Nissan Murano and as my SNL favorites would say... SHAWINNNG! I feel bad for all the folks who paid top dollar for their C-Maxs - as I did for my Aerio 12 years ago... but feel gratitude that I am on the receiving end of this particular automotive market swing.
