I had never owned one of these pumps before; However a co-worker has had one for several years that he purchased from a retail store (Sears or Autozone) and has aired up many tires for co- workers over the past 20 years. He has probably aired a tire up for me on a company car three or four times allowing me to drive it to a tire repair facility. They work great, just don't have a blowout. That's why I located a space saver spare for travel. Tire and tools will only come out of the basement when we travel away from our local area, vacation etc. and yes we will have room for it and luggage. By the way I can't remember the last time I have had a blowout!

Bought a C-MAX SEL and on 2nd tank of gas. Love it. I posted my impressions of the panaramic roof under Glass, Lenses, Mirrors, Wipers. In short I ensured mine did not have it. I think it's a waste of money.

Heated Leather seats are standard on the SEL.

I get voice direction with street names and turns with just SYNC, no maps but it works fine for me.

Discs all the way around.

I own a C-MAX SEL and made sure it did not have the panoramic roof. It dosn't open to the outside and when the inside cover is moved back anyone in the back seat can see out it but if sitting in the front seats you don't see out unless you turn around and look out the roof, something I wouldn't suggest while driving. In other words the opening or view is behind the driver and front passengers head. I felt it was useless and a waste of $1200. Most that have arrived at dealers in my area have this option. I am sure some will like it but I do not.

It does not have a spare but does have a electric pump located under the passengers seat to air up a low or flat. Ford roadside assistance does come standard with the C-MAX and can be called if the mobilitypump isn't enough. Some car manufacturers are delivering without even a spare space saver low mileage donut tire, in fact I believe 2 far eastern car manufacturers have eliminated spares on all their cars. The Chevy Volt may not have one either if I remember correctly. Being a little concerned about a possible blowout during a long trip especially traveling at night we have secured a new in appearance 17 inch spare Donut (space saver tire) with proper 5 bolt holes that fits our car for a mere $24 at a local salvage yard that we can place in the when we take any trips of distance out of our area. We already own a nice spanner lug wrench and car jack which will also go in the car when we do take one of those long trips. By the way the $24 was a great deal. I called a local Ford Dealer and asked for a price on a 17 inch space saver and was quoted $384 and he wasn't sure if it was a rim only or rim/tire so we feel real good about the $24 purchase. Hey! the thing looks brand new.
