I can relate. I got my first ding in a church parking lot about 2 months after having the car. Boy, that hurts.

My husband and I really enjoyed it. It was very professionally done and we learned quite a bit about our C-max that we didn't know. Now, mind you, I am one of those people who does not take the time to read the manual or quick start guide. I just put the key in and go. It was great seeing so many C-max's. at one point, I had to hit my unlock button to see which one was mine. It was parked in between two others of the same color.

Sterling grey SE in orange county. 

Looks like I'll be going to this event, too. I requested the 11:00 time slot and am looking forward to it. More out of curiosity than filing complaints. Overall, I scored my C-Max quite high.

Mine opens completely after pushing the button 2X. It gets stuck and only unlatches about 1 out of 40 - 50 times of use.

 

Would you share the price for the covers?

 

I just checked their site and it looks like they offer heaters with the covers as an option, the prices appear reasonable too (for the heaters). The cover prices are steep, but it looks like a case of getting what is paid for more than being expensive.

I don't have the itemized list and I did get a great deal for loaning my car for the day (50% off). I ordered seat covers for front and back with 1/2 piping, sunglass pockets in both front seats, map pockets behind front seats, and two dog leashes attached to back seats. The total was 339.00 (remember that is 1/2 off). The quality of their covers is exceptional and I was told they are guaranteed for life. The extras like pockets ranged from 8.00 to 14.00. As a side note, they were a very pleasant and accommodating group of people to do business with. They provided a ride from the shop and picked me up when they were finished with my car, which was about 1/2 hour ride each way.

Wet Okole now has the pattern for the C-max. I loaned them my car today and ordered covers for all the seats. I will post pictures when they are installed (3-4 weeks).

Thanks, dtorres. I found it in pocket behind front passenger seat. Back to the dealer we go.

Well, I guess they each went to the wrong states.

We just noticed that our C-Max does not have a bracket for front license plate. It is California law to have front and back plates. How about your C-Max? Did it come with or without front bracket?

Congrats! Have fun with it.

Exterior is sterling silver (I think- light silver) and interior is black. I wanted a white exterior that was on the lot, but it did not have the navigation package and the salesman convinced me if I squinted my eyes and looked sideways it looked white. He was only kidding, I think. Anyway, I grew to like the silver.

Thanks for the reply and the ideas. Sounds like you found a reasonable solution while being economical. Great looking pooch. The three of mine combined are probably about that size! Actually a little bigger- 80 lb. labradoodle, 50 lb. Aussie mix, 15 lb. terror mix (yep, I meant terror although others would say terrier).

How are you planning on keeping the C-Max clean while hauling dogs. I take my three dogs to a dog park 2x/week and when they are done playing they are quite dirty. So far, I ordered a Cargo Cape and am thinking about putting them in carriers. Any other ideas?

Does anyone have a recommendation for decent seat covers that would fit both front and back seats on C-Max?

I purchased a C-Max SE with upgrade package 6 days ago and I love it! I was considering a Prius V but test drove both and C-max was a clear winner. So far I am getting 37 mpg but most of my driving is stop and go on city streets.
