  1. ok, Actually I'm from NY/NJ, and just moved here less than a month ago. After using mass transit in NJ for the last 10 years, my new TX 42 mile commute, usually with sections of bumper to bumper traffic, I decided I could use a hybrid.

    Lots of debate between the C-Max, and the fusion, but I just couldn't justify not having decent trunk space. Especially if we were going use it to take a weekend road trip to explore this big new state. 

    So after a few weeks hunting one down, I'm now the (so-far) happy owner of a 13' platinum white SEL with medium light stone interior with the 303a, and the pano roof. There were a few options I could have done without, but since I was borrowing an 06' accord to get to work, I figured I could pay for some extra goodies.

    On the first drive into work, I was very happy that I only used .8 gallons!!!!! And I'm new to hybrid driving. Also there seem to be a lot of BIG pickups here not happy with me using eco cruise to keep her at 62 so I can make that vine look like kudzu.

    The Mrs enjoys driving this thing so much (and wants an auto lift-gate for her next car) except for my work commute we have to call dibs on the car instead of the mini-van.

    I guess my only disappointment so far is not having a spare. personally I'd rather jack up the car, and get rolling again, but then I'd have the trunk of the fusion.  ;)

  2. Just got my C-Max SEL 303A. Not a lot to choose from in the Houston area (come to think of it, haven't seen another on the road). The sunroof was something I originally didn't want if it didn't open being new to TX summers. But it also seems there weren't many around in the Houston area, and I wanted an SEL with the light interior, so I had to get the sunroof. So far, It's ok. My son is enjoying it more than myself. I wouldn't have spent the money, but I didn't let it stop me from getting it.
