Tien23 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I always pay attention to the little things such as cubby holes, cup holders, and power outlets. I hope this car will have plenty of these things. I have been in some cars where it feels like there is no where to put anything.

LukeC Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I bet they will hit the mark on this one. Ford seems to do pretty well in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kam Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 They really do. I've had some cars before that don't even offer something as simple as cup holders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_h Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 One thing that is offered in all packages except the base SE is "ambient lighting" which I've found very handy, has a nice little outline around the cup holders so they are easy to find at night... also hopefully it has the ambient lighting down in the foot wells, that is very nice too.

jack Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Ford producted a neat video of the 2013 Escape's cubby holes and storage spaces galore. I not seen anything on the C-Max yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_h Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I always thought that the ambient lighting was a waste of money I love it, let's you use the cup holder at night and glance down for it, as well as having a nice dim light in the feet area to help see things on the floor without turning on a dome light... so I think it's very useful.

Monk Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Ambient lighting is OK if you can turn it off. On the Fieata, you could change colours, but not disable it. GRRRR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kam Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I would no like that at all. I would want to be able to turn it all the way off. Who didn't think that one out?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 The C-Max has some nifty little cubby holes under the rear passenger's feet. You lift a little trap door on each side and there is room to store a camera etc. A crook probably wouldn't spot them especially if you buy rubber floor mats to put over the carpeted trap doors. jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtorres Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I have the ambient lighting and it has two adjustments. The first is a button that toggles through the available colors. The second is a turn knob the allows you to adjust how bright they are all the way to off. There's lights for the front foot wells and one for the rear passenger foot well. There's also the cupholder light and one at the front door handles. Nice little touch is when you open a front door the light in the door handle for that door only turns red to show its not closed. When the door is fully closed it changes back to green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, good to know! I saw mention of this in the Energi's owner manual as a place to store the plug-in connector, but didn't know if it was included to the regular C-Max. I never thought to look under the floor mats on the one I saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayCo59 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Ambient lighting...Don't get me started! I guess you just did! :runaway:Everything is lite up except the most needed spot....the Ignition Key hole. I guesss i should have sprung for the SEL with the bluetooth key.Oh well hopefuly I'll get better at finding the key hole in the dark.

AMSDPS Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I went from a 2005 Chevrolet malibu to a 2013 C-Max and I found that it was a little funny that the one thing I can't do in my C-Max, that I could do in my Malibu was open the garage door!!!!

What trim? The one we test drove had the garage door opener system (is it called HomeLink on a Ford?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, maybe it's just not included on the SE. I guess I would have assumed that something like this would be standard in a vehicle that had a navigation screen as well as two in-dash screens.

dtorres Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 You can always replace your rear view mirror with an auto dimming mirror with integrated Homelink for the garage door. I posted directions on this forum of how to do it. The mirror will run you about $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can keep track of all your fuel/mileage/maintenance and car details/specifications. You can keep track of more than one car also.
