There will be new mapping software in the next few months as part of the Sync 3.5.1 upgrade.

I don't choose one trick pony cars. My criteria is; a. Handling b. Performance c. Ride compliance d. Safety d. Tech options e. Sound System Best mpg with the combination of a + b + c and the C-Max fit better than anything on the market I could find for the price.

Mpgomatics reviews always seemed more balanced and objective. I loved the comment the C-Max reviewer said: "If most of your driving is highway, I'll be straightup with you get a diesel".

The iPod Touch does have bluetooth. Here is the complete list with supported profiles; http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

<br /><br /> I do the same and usually bait those types up to the speed I want. Quickly pull over, let them by, pull behind and draft.

iPhone 5 works great with bluetooth streaming and sound quality is much better than I expected.

I usually only visit the site for Monthly Dashboard sales stats. Now I can no longer believe those numbers are real either. Credibility gap for the entire site.

Have you tried playing a SACD? I haven't made any yet but I do have some DVD-A's that it didn't recognize.

I have had this problem with other in car Nav systems, Subaru and Lexus, hasn't happened yet on my VW. I usually double check destinations entered into my Subaru with the TomTom app on my iPhone 5 for accuracy.

Last month when C-Max sales figures beat Prius V there was an uptick in media attention and influx of posters here questioning the EPA mileage results. Coincidence? Former and current Prius owners also seem generate more complaints on C-Max mpg? Might make an interesting poll.

So you currently own a 2008 Escape Hybrid and a (?) Prius with no drop in fuel economy noticed during cold weather?

Is this the first hybrid you have owned?

There have been no Fords tested for small overlap except the Fusion and it earned the new top rating, it's competitor the Toyota Camry failed with a poor rating.

Congrats, I discovered the voice commands work better if you say the words quickly and abruptly.

Unfortunately for Prius V and Camry drivers; We don't know the C-Max ratings yet but it shares a platform with the 2013 Focus and Escape who perform well; http://www.iihs.org/ratings/ratingsbyseries.aspx?id=328 http://www.iihs.org/ratings/ratingsbyseries.aspx?id=322

You can go to syncmyride.com and get the info from there. I would think the dealers should register the versions there but I can't confirm this.

At least it's documented for me in case it happens again.</p></blockquote> What version of Sync did they install?

This video demonstrates some techniques you may find helpful.

The fueleconomy.gov site depends upon data submitted by owners. I am one of the data reports listed there and they don't verify authenticity. It is essentially no different than Fuelly except some may fear reporting false info on a government site.

I will double check this in my C-Max Hybrid, behavior should be the same. The cargo area outlet would make an ideal jump point for my Stanley Simple Start.

I always have my foot on the brake when powering off, no problems so far. As an insurance policy I do carry the Stanley Simple Start, fits perfectly in the small compartment in the hatch.

Have you tried configuring a MyView screen with those parameters?

Congrats, you have the same C-Max as me.
