You keeping the Q5?

http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20121126/OEM06/121129927/2014-fiesta-will-feature-improved-sync-smaller-myford-touch-screen&cciid=email-autonews-daily http://media.ford.co...rticle_id=37434

I too have the 390 CCA, no problems with starting yet.

Thanks for the link, you analysis would make sense given the duty cycle demands on the start/stop components.

From my interpretation of the fuelly faq they reveal all the previous fillups once a predetermined number of data points have been reached.

Not partials, Fuelly does not start calculating and displaying data until your 3rd fill. I have not started documenting total EV miles per fill and will start, its data that should be interesting to track.

I would think that 390 CCA would not last long on a high compression hybrid like the C-Max. A factory screw-up maybe, they are built alongside the regular Focus? I will check to see my battery capacity.

Congrats and welcome to the club.

Are you in an area where the C-Max has a clear view of the sky? I believe it grabs live GPS data to set the home position and most car Navs will use dead reckoning, extrapolation from last known GPS based upon distance and speed, when satellite signals are lost. Try to set home in an open area nearby to see if that works.

My wife is the primary driver of the C-Max and she drives it without fuel economy in mind. She usually speeds away from a red light tailgating the driver in front of her until an opportunity to pass occurs. Prior to her Jetta TDI she drove a Saturn Vue Redline and Camaro Z28. Her first question when looking at the C-Max was how much power does it have, the second question was about fuel economy. When I drive as the primary (the last fuel up data on fuelly) mpg increases dramatically. I don't really use any special techniques other that pulse quickly up to the speed limit and glide in EV. Every other hybrid I have driven (Lexus, Hyundai, check the Fuelly data for those) got within the same margin or error I am seeing reported here and Fuelly for the C-Max. All the Ford comparions I have seen relate to the Prius V but all the forum comparisons are to the Prius sedan?

I am very pleased with my mpg. I never drove a hybrid (had every Lexus hybrid made for loaners) that got EPA. I have had no issue achieving EPA with my C-Max. My TDI can also hit EPA easily.

Interesting post, do you own a C-Max or plan to?

On the MFT main screen you select the settings icon and its an option on the second screen.

CNET just reviewed the C-Max for over 150 miles with a mix of city and highway averaging 45.1 mpg. http://reviews.cnet.com/coupe-hatchback/2013-ford-c-max/4505-10867_7-35426711.html

Have you tried doing a Master Reset, fixed an odd problem I was having.

I also agree.

So aggregating the headwind speed with your avg speed of say 60mph you were theoretically driving at 95mph give or take. 33mpg at those speeds is phenomenal.

Thanks, good to know. Have you ever checked your Sync version with the Sync Version Checker Tool?

Can someone with MFT confirm the latest version of Sync they are using? I have download the Sync Status Checker Tool and it reports Gen2 - V3.1.3. I read on the Owner to Owner Sync forum where the latest is version is 3.5.1 http://boards.synccommunity.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=messages&tsn=28&webtag=fordsyncmb&tid=6206

Sync Versions?

Got fixed by doing a Master Reset and the error cleared.

I believe it's a MFT issue with No Signal, found this post from last year and it describes my symptoms exactly. http://boards.synccommunity.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=fordsyncmb&tid=3247

Sirius on my VW works fine.

New problem started today, Sirius works ok but reports No Signal. Anyone else seen this?
