  1. I have watched the videos and I have the SEL version will all the sync services. What I cannot get to work is the Destinations App with my iPhone 5. According to the videos on youtube you hit the voice command button and say "Mobile Apps" but I get a response of "Command not found". When I say "Help" Mobile apps or mobile anthing is not listed as an available command. Has anyone gotten Sync Applink to work?
  2. Yes, got a chance to try it out today.
  3. Just got back from the Ford Dealer with my new Ingot Silver/Charcoal Interior C-Max Hybrid SEL with option group 302A.
  4. What is the current wait time on an order?

  6. http://www.autofiends.com/2012/09/2013-ford-c-max-hybrid-driven/ For so many people today the car has become an appliance with the sole job of getting from A to B effectively and efficiently. This point is made clearest when you consider that Toyota has sold over one million Priuses. The Prius is a horrible car in all respects except one – fuel economy. The base interior is a strange and nasty expanse of plastic and velour with a digital dashboard that seems to have been pulled from an early eighties Nissan 280ZX – not good! The driving experience is best described as disconnected. Prius ownership is a compromising experience in the name of ultimate fuel economy. No wonder Prius owners are so smug! As diehard Autofiends, if we had to spend hours a week commuting in a Prius we’d end up committing Hari Kiri on that silly mid-dash gear selector knob. Until now we’d have gone the diesel route and picked a VW Jetta TDI for guilt free commuting, as there’s really been no decent hybrid powered alternative in our humble opinion. Enter the 2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid. The Ford team had the Prius, specifically the Prius V firmly in their sites when putting the C-MAX together. And they’ve blown it out of the water in all respects. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

  8. We just completed a test drive of a C-Max Hybrid SEL yesterday and were very impressed. Test route consisted of a number of roads and pavement under going construction and the ride quality was excellent with imperceptable road noise. It was raining on the test drive and the C-Max was very stable confident even during some simulated evasive manuvers I tried. We are considering trading our 2010 Jetta TDI for the C-Max and were impressed with the mpg we returned during our test (42mpg). Adverse road conditions (construction) with A/C going in the rain. Very interested in how you think the C-Max handles compared to the Golf. I really couldn't push it much in the rain, will take another test drive in the dry.
