  1. My NAV is awful

    I've only had occasion to use the NAV once in the month I've owned my C-Max. A co-worker and I were delivering Christmas goodies to a family our company sponsored for the holidays and the address was in a neighboring town, in an area I wasn't familiar with. I loaded up the address before we left the office and things proceeded smoothly we thought, until we were brought to the completely wrong address!!! And then I couldn't get the GPS to accept the correct address to get us out of a rather unsavory neighborhood. Luckily my friend pulled up the map on her phone and routed us correctly. I haven't needed to use it again, but I suppose I should, even in areas I know, just to see if it works. OTOH, when it's just running in the background, it always knows where I am and shows me on the correct street, turn by turn.

  5. C MAx In the snow

    Hi Roggie, 

     

    I live in Michigan and drove my C-Max Hybrid SEL yesterday in the snow. We had gotten a couple of inches overnight and the roads had not been plowed. I was used to driving a Jeep Liberty with 4 wheel drive, so I was curious to see how the C-Max responded. I had no trouble stopping, accelerating, turning in the snow, no fish-tailing and plenty of traction. I drove on both bladed highways and unplowed city streets with no problem. Granted, this wasn't a huge snow, but I was happy with the first experience.    Also, our temps have been in the high teens - to mid 30s for the past week or so. Not as severe as yours, but still cold. On my ride home yesterday, in the snow, I got 47.9 mpg on the highway. ~Adair
