Thanks for the update on 3.5.1. :)

They have a Fusion Hybrid image on the C-Max?

Parts were replaced Saturday.

I believe you will find the C-Max easily trumps the Jetta on seat comfort, it has for me on a recent 7 hour trip we completed. C-Max road noise is more subdued compared to our previous 2010 Jetta TDI also.

Indeed, what would totally cool for you is to post the first known CMax image of this screen. :)

The price difference is a factor but diesels will regularly exceed EPA ratings. I ran the fuel cost numbers on my Passat TDI vs Fusion Hybrid based upon data collected in my CMax and TDI, they are very comparable. Throw in maintenance costs and I believe from my experience the hybrid is cheaper to own overall. Car1= TDI Car2=Fusion Hybrid Numbers were based on normal driving and traffic flow. Fuel prices and mpg are based upon data from my area. Traffic jams give a big advantage to the hybrid, highway driving at the 75 mph speed limit flips the equation in the diesels favor.

There is a single image available showing the Fusion. Useful information here about ICE use and cause. Does the CMax screen look like this?

Hello and welcome. As in many things the diesel vs hybrid debate is a complex one. The TDI 2009+ models get poorer mpg than previous generations due to emissions equipment. Also the type of driving city vs highway, in city the CMax will have a big advantage as the powertrain is used the most efficiently. The CMax advantage diminishes in highway driving especially at higher speeds where the TDI, most likely a sedan, will have the advantage of better aerodynamics, less weight, and slightly more efficient engine.

Thanks for the excellent writeup of the event.

Thanks, previous versions do not have any hybrid info on the Nav display. If you get an opportunity a few pics of what info is contained within the Efficiency Leaves screen would be appreciated. You can post those to your gallery here and link them back in the post.

Are there any hybrid information screens available on the Nav display?

Do you have the Nav option?

+1 on the pics.

An important measure of a vehicle's value -- and appeal -- is what it's expected to be worth three and five years down the road. These figures are the estimated price a dealer would pay if you traded in the vehicle, expressed as a percentage of the original sticker price. Resale values come from a complex set of calculations based in part on historical data and economic predictions, as well as competition in each automotive segment, how appealing a car's brand is, and supply (including fleet sales and leases) versus demand. To win Best Resale plaudits, the model must first be selected as one of our top 25 vehicles in its category. From that group, we pick the vehicle with the highest three-year resale value. A model is not eligible for the award if another trim level of the same model has won Best Resale in a lower-price category.

Temps warming and the average keep going up, last tank was 47.

We used to have a Silver 2004 Vue Redline with the Honda engine.

Your off to a good start.

Nice!!!
