I had a 1969 westie! I must have caught 70 Dead shows in that thing!

2013 C-max- only 28 MPG?!??? Is there an ON BUTTON!
markd replied to ecogirl2206's topic in Fuel Mileage
YouTube it John. -
My wife has a pillow that she takes on trips for her feet. I have a question, why would you buy a car if you don't like the seats?
-
Whenever I run across someone with a C-max I always tell them about this site.
-
I check this site every day and comment when it's relevant. As for your seat, I doubt that there's any electric to plug into. Keep us updated.

That's awesome!

Yes, a paddle shift. Why have a big shifter that really just gets in the way? To each their own, but it is big and in the way.
-
The shifter gets in the way of my hand on long trips, a paddle shift would be nice. The ability to move things to the right screen, usually I leave it on nav and just ignore it. A armrest on the door. Last but not least more adjustment on the passenger seat.

You don't have to push the button to close the hatch, a simple kick closes it so if you have your hands full. I'm setting on 19,000 miles and should do a review, I think it takes at least 5,000 miles to get used to the car. None of the reviews are long term.

It didn't charge fast enough for me so I bought a nice charger with two outlets and pluged it in to the power point. It works great and can charge both our phones in less than an hour. -
Welcome to the club! I like the kona blue color too. I wish you many happy miles.

Why doesn't Ford build a Transit Connect hybrid?
markd replied to jackalopetx's topic in Competing Products
I believe that they share the same platform, the one I drove was almost the same as my car. -

I don't see the C-Max going away, it might be rebadged but they're part of a bigger program. I expect the E line to have a pick up, van, hatch and a sedan, possibly a hybrid built off of the Fiesta platform. -

I would be first in line to buy one. -
I know what you mean VKB and it only gets better. Enjoy and welcome

I'm old too and stopped driving like that a long time ago. I use the five mile over rule also. But in my twenties I liked going fast. When I was a teenager I owned a 69 Camero 396 that was very quick, but quick was expensive. My 87 Integra, which was new was very fast. Thankfully I made it through my wreaklesss years!

The speed limit is 70 here in Indiana but the fast lane on the interstate runs 80 to 100 the middle lane is 75 to 80 and you get ran over doing less than 70 in the slow lane. I've been well over 120 many times in my youth on 465. I had an Integra that went 140. It isn't uncommon to see cars going that fast on the hiway at here.
-
I get around 38mpg at 80 to 85 and the car is very stable.

We use Kroger gas too, get our prescriptions filled the and buy groceries at Meijer. I always get sixty cents off a gallon
