Just took it on a 212 mile road trip, 95% hwy, running 70 mph, avg of 37.5, very happy with that. It is very comfortable to drive, very quiet, and very responsive, I love this car !!!

Hey everyone, I picked it up today and I can't believe how much I like it !! I have had many new vehicles but this is my favorite one. At first I didn't want or need all the bells and whistles, but after seeing them and using them, I am glad I got them. Once again, thanks to everyone for making me feel welcome, I will keep following the forum and look forward to learning more from all of you.

Donhak, just a little update, I have finally found one that I am picking up today, it is white platinium with the 303a pkg. I love this color but I didn't want to pay extra for paint, however I didn't want to wait 10 or more weeks for my ordered one so I found one about 150 miles away and had my dealer get it for me. Once again, thanks for your replies, Mike

Hey Laurel, thanks for the tips and info. I am picking up the baby this morning and will attempt to post pic's later today. I know my learning curve is pretty big right now, but it's nice to know that I can find help on this forum !!!

Laurel, what is your favorite part of the 303 pkg? I didn't really need the park assist, but having said that, have you used it? Does it work as advertised? I am like a kid on Christmas morning, I can't wait !!

Well to update the latest, I found another around Nashville-white platinium sel with the 303a pkg. I should be picking it up Thursday. I just couldn't wait for 10 weeks on my ordered one !!

I found another in Chattanooga tn with the 303 pkg, ingot silver with a build date of 12-11, it currently has 450 miles on it, they got it from a dealer in Savannah Ga, in addition it will be driven another 300 miles to get it here, does this cause concern to anyone?

Yes it has everything that I want and then some, however the dealer that has it is lying to the dealer that I am working with and says that it is sold, however I spoke to 2 different salesmen anonymously and they said it was for sale and there were NO contracts on it. I guess I'll keep looking, but thanks to all !!

Thanks Don for the reply, I Have tried to buy the one I found thru a dealer trade, but am getting the run around from the dealer that has it. The manager there tells the Manager of the dealership that I am dealing with that the vehicle is sold and not available, however I have made 2 phone calls to 2 different salesmen and they both tell me that it is NOT sold and is available for sale. I guess I will keep looking or wait the 8-10 weeks for my ordered one to come in. What part of Alaska do you live in? I have been there a coule of times and was blown away by the beauty and wildlife. Laurel, thanks again for your replies and you also live in a beautiful area, I have been to Vancouver and Victoria, and really enjoyed them !!

Thanks Laurel for the reply, I spoke with the dealer and told him that if he located an sel with pkgs 301 and 302, I would accept these colors, in order-Ingot silver, Oxford white, ice storm, and finally sterling gray. I really like the platinum white, but I don't want to pay $500 for paint !!In addition I want the stone interior, we'll see if that comes to fruition or not. Worst case scenario is I wait for the one I ordered. As far as the sun goes here in Ky, it is NOT one of the sunnier states. All in all, I appreciate that you would order that color again, Mike

Don, thanks for posting the pics, after owning the ice storm color for awhile, would you get the same color again? I'm asking because I ordered an ingot silver a few days ago and they told me it would be 8-10 weeks. I have found another one in ice storm but I have not seen one in person, so I am just checking to see if people REALLY like the color, thanks for any feedback you can give me. Oh, and by the way, I was a plane captain on f4's while stationed in Oceana Va with vf-84, thanks for your service from one vet to another, Mike

I found an SEL that has the 303 pkg that would work for me, it is ice storm in color, has anyone seen one of that color and what are your thoughts? Rachel, I hope your wait will be over soon, you have been VERY patient !!

Thanks for the messages, I will be watching this forum closely to gather any info that will help me when it finally comes in. Cassy, you have had a LOOOOOONG wait, let me know when you get it and your opinion. Once again, thanks to all !!

Hi y'all, I have been contemplating getting a new fusion hybrid, but after driving both and reading this forum and seeing how much people love the c-max I was sold !! I didn't want leather, so I ordered an SE with the 203 package, winter package, outside protection pkg, inside protection pkg,. The outside is ingot silver with the stone interior. I was toid it would be about 8 weeks to as much as 10 for delivery, does that sound right? I have been following this forum for about 2 weeks and there are some really nice, smart people on here. Thanks in advance for helping us newbies.
