  1. You might be getting your pkg mixed up. The 302A Pkg is only an extra 2000. the 303 with add 3K but includes all the other pkgs. My new C-max came with the 303A and the Pana Window, and I don't regret the extra at all. I have had my car for almost a month and I really think that I would have been disappointed if I didn't have the options I have now.
  2. Welcome andnice the your color choice.
  3. Funny you should ask. I just returned from a two week job where I had a C-Max from Budget. I rented it for a Full Size price and I was very happy with it. I will say that the SEL I had did not have the Navigation activated, or the Satilite Radio. Over all I got 43.7 MPG with an average of 51.3 MPG in my 11.1 true rush hour commute. I put 4.5 Gallons to re-fill the tank before returning it. The Max I had had almost 4500 miles on it, so it was well broken in. A real enjoyable rental.
  4. I don't know how I missed it. But I love the hill aasist. It is on the side of the shifter, press it while going down a long slope and it mantains your speed while charging the battery. Then more I drive it the more fun I have.
  5. I checked and the pressures were at 44lbs. Checked the door and reduced them to the recommended 38 lbs front and back. The car now rides even nicer. Thank you for the idea.
  6. That works, Thank you. I have no idea how I turned the voice off, but it is back. I still have to take it in to correct it's ability to decide it wants to go on a walkabout without notice.
  7. I really have no problem with the dealer doing the work. I found our here in the DC area, I got a very good price and I have a full lifetime warranty. It is the same Tint I had installed on my Truck and my wife's Scion. The six years I had the Tint on my Truck, it never faded and never turned to that ugly purple color. So, for Thermal Tint, with a dealer backed lifetime warranty, my cost were under 500 dollars. This included the front window sun band, All five windows, the tow port holes and the roof window. Not a bad deal. I did find a better deal if I want to drive 400 miles to central Ohio. Oh, the dealer also gave me a loaner while they had my car. I am really happy with my dealers service and pricing so far. Checking independents in the area, I am finding it better to build my loyalty with my dealer. Also, remember that there is the perfect chance that my dealer will be here 10 years from now, while an independent may not be.
  8. In a heart beat. With two tanks of gas and 1086 miles with it, I am already averaging 40 MPG. How can I not have a smile, since trading my F250 6.0L Diesel for this. Why bicker over 2 or 4 miles a gallon and meeting EPA, I have never owned a car or truck that could meet those numbers. So too me not an issue. I rode in our friends Prius and just could not get comfortable. It was noisy and a bit hard to speak in a normal voice. So when the Dealer let me take our car home to drive for the night, I was sold after getting into Beltway Traffice on purpose and enjoying the drive on top of it all. Quit, smooth and comfortable, what a great commuter. Yep, I sure would get another C-Max.
  9. Being new here, I haven't figured how to attach Pics yet. Anyway, I picked up my C-Max from the dealer yesterday with all my windows tinted, including the Sun Strip and the two port holes. Front - 50% Back and roof - 35% I am now waiting the 48 hrs, so I can use my windows. I am really happy with the job they did.
  10. I have a new C-max with the 303 package and the Panoramic Roof and I really like it. I just got it back from the dealer yesterday, after having the windows tinted, including the Roof, and what a great difference. It was well worth the cost to have it done. The Car stayes cooler and I don't have to shut the roof blind in the afternoon. I am really happy I went that route.
  11. Nav is working OK, except for it's ability to want to wander off-road or latch onto the street a block over. Then two day ago, it desided to lose it's voice. Is there a way to reboot the system or is it a trip to the Dealer? Thanks
  12. I just finished doing my new C's interior using 303 Protectant. I have used it for years on my other cars with great results. Amazon has the best price for the 32 oz spray. I also use the 303 wipes, for the dash and it looks great. Kept my 10 year old King Ranch looking new when I traded it for my new C.
  13. First work week has come to an end and with 700 miles driven I am averaging 40 MPG. It has been in the upper 20s in the mornings and around 50 driving home in the afternoon. No traffic doing the first 65 miles to work, with Moderate to heavy traffic on the homeward bound 65 miles. Best average leg has been 43.7 Can't wait until the engine is broken in and the weather temps start the northward trend. Really happy so far.

    My New SEL

    Hi everyone from the DC Beltway, and looking forward to great times ahead. A week ago last Friday while driving home, l just stopped at my Ford Dealer to just look at a C-Max. Two hours later, I had traded my 2003 Ford F250 King Ranch Diesel with almost 250,000 miles (bought new with 14 miles on it) and was driving home a new 2013 Ruby Red C-Max SEL. What a change. My 130 Mile/day commute has turned fun again. First week Attained 40.6 MPG, in a very comfortable auto that is fun to drive.
