agimpels

Good day to all, At the end of the first week of ownership we have the following: 330 miles with 85% moderate traffic, including lights and stop signs, 15% 60 mph turnpike 41.7 mpg overall average While it isn't the 47 mpg advertised, we're very happy with it. We have followed the suggestions posted here about changing our driving habits. My wife, the owner of a Mustang GT, had the lead foot. She drives Maxie 50% of the time and is doing better on average than I am. We did notice a marked difference when we had the normal Florida warmth requiring AC as compared to right now, a freezing 58 degrees. We shut the A/C off and just using the climate to control the fan. We'll let everyone know when we get around 1000 miles. Art

Adair, IT'S HHHHHEEEEEEERRRRRRREEEEEE. It took 7 weeks 4 days and 14 hours. We are very happy so far. Being consumate geeks, we are still overwhelmed with the technology. Took some friends (even though they own a new Prius) for a ride Sunday and they said they were very impressed. Maybe a convert? There are some minor things. I wish there was a way to defeat the idiot proof control setting on the navigation while moving. The co-pilot (passenger) tried to enter a destination and won't work. Voice control iffy. Anyway, We're enjoying the ride. Yo and Art

Hi to all, We are Yo and Art in Homestead, FL. We ordered our C-Max Christmas eve with a delivery date 8 weeks hence. We have been Ford owners, with few exceptions for many years. We will be trading in a Five Hundred with 66,000 and have had very few issues. We have a Mustang GT, the wife's, and will be keeping that (under threat of my life if I get rid of it.) We have been reading everything we can find and have some concerns but it is a new car here. We did ride in one in Italy last year. It was being used as a private limo around Rome. We loaded it with 5 adults and lots of luggage on the highway with no power issues. We will be lurking here and waiting impatiently. Art
