Hi all. I just bought a 2013 C-Max SEL with 13k miles on it. This is my very first american car and my very first hybrid. My wife had been pushing the idea of buying a hybrid for years and I was dead set against it at first. There just weren't any that I liked at all.....until I saw the C-Max. For the last 12 years I've owned a 2003 BMW 325xi that, to this day has not given me any problems but has 170k miles on it now. I also own a 2009 ML350 and that too has not given me any problems. ( in my eyes). In my wife's eyes we were spending way too much on gas. She had a point. Although I do not want to give up BMW I have decided to sell it and give the C-Max a shot. I have to admit..I really like it. Compared to my other cars I get AWESOME gas mileage now and the car looks a bit sporty. So I think I'm warming up to it. It's only been 2 weeks since I bought it and I have no complaints. Keith
