  1. Jus, I used to be *that* driver in my Jeep. My driving style has altered so radically that my husband can barely believe it. He wants a C-Max now, and I'll be curious to see if he has the same drive for MPG as he has always had for MPH :redcard:
  2. Ok, so it's only 20 miles to work, not 25, but it's the same route every day. The only diff today was the temperature, nearly 54. Still, it was rainy/foggy, so I had the defrost on and the bun warmers on low and STILL got 51 mpg for the ride home!! Take *THAT* CR! Sorry, no pix, battery was too low on the phone. You will just have to take my word for it. Now, if I'm this excited at 54* temps, can you imagine how I'll be at 75!!
  3. Wasn't me :>), so there's at least 1 more of us out there. We sure are few and far between tho, aren't we?
  4. The only thing I am seeing are more pop-up C-Max ads on cnn.com......
  5. On the C-Max FB page, someone made a derogatory coment about the C-Max looking like a jelly bean..........I kinda liked the reference, so mine is Jelly Bean, or JB for short. We used to have a TomTom gps which gave you voice choices. The one we used most frequently was *English Lori*, so the next generations were all called Lori. SYNC voice sounds nothing like that, so I have no name for it yet.
  6. Hi Nomadchick, I see this is your first post, so congrats and welcome to the forum. It's a great bunch of folks. I'm with you, even on my worst tank of gas (which was last week in the sub-zero temps, with heater, defrost, bunwarmers, remote start....everything going) I still got 31.6 for the tank. I'm coming from a Jeep Liberty that got 17-21 mpg, so I too am thrilled with the mileage I'm getting, and I know with the coming warmer months it will continue to improve.
  7. Check out the latest from our friends at cmaxchat.com http://cmaxchat.com/?p=2225
  8. And look at the temp too......56*! Jealous!
  9. Wamba said: Sometimes I wonder if we think through all the ideas. Like Jeff Goldblum said in Jurassic Park, "you were so excited about the fact that you could do it that you never stopped to ask if you should do it" or something like that. Here Here!!!
  10. Not that I've seen from the Detroit stations. Plus, I was very disappointed that there were only Energis at the Detroit Auto Show..........not one Hybrid!
  11. Music to drive your C-Max by...........I LIKE it!!

    Roggie, I got my window sticker on 11.23.12, the build date was 11.24.12, and I took possession of the car on 11.29.12. Now granted I only live about 30 miles from where it was assembled. Check out this website http://www.researchmaniacs.com/Ford/TrackFactoryCarOrders.html I think there might be a phone # at the end that you can call for more updates. Good luck! We'll all keep our fingers crossed that you hear something soon. And that goes out to Rachel too!

    Don't wish your life away :>) ( from a 66 y/o)
  14. Oh (phooey? darn? crap?) pick your expeletive of choice! That sucks! I remember when I had had my Jeep Liberty for only 6 months and was T-boned by a grocery cart going 22 mph in the parking lot! Hate those first time owies! It's a full moon, don'cha know?
  15. Laurel, I think we took possession of our C-Maxes the same day....Nov. 29, 2012, right? I had the same reboot experience.....about 2 weeks ago. It must be a shopping thing, because I was just leaving Kohl's after shopping for my granddaughter's 3rd b'day. I can't really tell that the reboot did anything.....I still have the same SYNC/MFT issues as before. But, like you I LOVE MY C-MAX! and I'm confident that all the glitches will be resolved sooner rather than later. Oh, and the lower Fuelly score at the bottom........-9* to +9* for the past week, short trips, and my husband driving a couple of times, sucked the life out of my FE. But warmer days are coming this week!
  16. Laurel, I think we took possession of our cars on the same day....Nov. 29, 2012, right? Mine did the reboot thing, exactly as you describe, about 2 weeks ago. Must be a shopping thing, because I was leaving Kohl's after b'day shopping for my granddaughter. I can't really tell what changed, because I still have the same issues w/ SYNC, MFT/ as before. I also agree, I love....let me say it again ..... LOVE my C-Max, and I'm confident that all my issues will be resolved sooner rather than later. I loved your phrase * I'm hungry*!!!! I tried that and it worked like a charm. Would you care to share any others that you have learned? I asked at the auto show yesterday in Detroit, and they told me about changing the setttings to *advanced*. I'll see if that helps.
  17. Still, an overall favorable review, don'tcha think?
  18. ER, I share your pain! I'm in Michigan and we're experiencing the coldest week of the winter.....-9* -- +9* this week. I was using the remote start, bun warmers, defroster....everything! That, plus a few shorter than usual trips, and letting my husband drive a few times, will have me at my lowest mpg yet...probably 31 average for this tank. But I'm not in the least worried. I saw what it can do in warmer temps the weekend of the 12th when we had 50+. I love my C-Max right now, but I know the best is yet to come!
  19. Only Energi! Not one C-Max hybrid!! What's up w/that Ford?
