Name one like and dislike with your C-Max?

[CassidyB]

Like-high roofline

Dislike-too narrow for people with a lot of junk in their "trunk"

[Bruce Z]

Like - Moon Roof

 

Dislike - All lights should be LED

[Noah Harbinger]

Turn off the autoplay feature in the settings menu for the media player.

 

But doesn't that stop it from auto-playing when I plug it in? I want it to do that - just on the right song (or even playlist). 

 

Anyhow since you've invalidated my dislike, I get to pick another: The left door handle creaks when I rest my left leg against it.

:hysterical:

[bigalpha]

Like: awesome sounding Sony sound system.

 

Dislike: mediocre gas mileage.

[Marc Smith]

Like:  Cavernous cargo area...

 

Dislike: no way to lower the rear seats from the cargo area...

[fbov]

Like: Forward visibility in heavy snow; like no car I've ever had... traction/road condition is finally the speed-limiting factor in snow storms.

 

Dislike: I wish my wife could get in easier, but I can't blame the car for her bad hip...

 

Have fun,

Frank

[kostby]

Like: The smooth way the car drives.

Dislike: The shifters lack of illumination of gear you are in.

I know homestead's dislike is ages old, but 'Gear' is clearly displayed and illuminated right under the speedometer instead of on the shifter console. Homage to the days when automatic gearshift levers were located on the steering column perhaps?

Clearly displayed under the speedometer but obstructed by the steering wheel if its rotated.

[SnowStorm]

LIKE:  Getting great MPGs under a panoramic sky in an addictively fun-to-drive car that never shifts gears!

DISLIKE: No spare!

[bro1999]

Like: auto windshield wipers

Dislike: over sensitive turn signals

[Ldcarson]

Like : 25 miles on the battery.

Dislike: that's it's not 40 miles+ on the battery and that it does't come with a portable L1/L2 system.

[Jus-A-CMax]

Like: MAMMOTH MPG numbers. Hello summer :)

Dislike: Sidemirrors. Whoever designed these wind sails that stick out on the side with no aero enhancements should be fired.

[Laurel]

Like: Easy entry into car without hitting head

Dislike:  Not quite enough cargo space

Seriously, what were they thinking. Compared to my Volt's side mirrors, they are parachutes.

 

Interesting piece on side mirrors and affect on coefficient of drag and MPG numbers: http://www.metrompg.com/posts/mirrors.htm

Mostly removing the side mirrors netted this person a 2.3% gain in MPG. You think Ford could have used an extra 2.3% in MPG early last year? :lol2:

[Marc Smith]

Well at least they are functional mirrors...

[dlapean]

Like: A Hybrid that has a little power when you need it,......not like a Prius

 

DisLike:  With all the little lights they put outside and side the car,.........why didn't they put a little light right by the Key Ignition slot so on dark mornings you can find the slot.

[shinytop]

I love the information displays on the dash and the sync.  I read a lot of complaints but mine is fine and for the most part have found what I want/need.

 

While the turning radius is too large for this size car that irritates only so often.  So my number one dislike is the lack of nooks and crannies to store my doodads in the cabin.  

[Marc Smith]

+1 on the turning radius...  not sure why european and asian cars  get this,  but american cars  do not...bigger is not always better.

 

I'd love to be able to add engine gauges to the right hand side of the  speedo.  really  growing leaves.  how about an average speed on the trip guage...

 

while I miss the storage under the flying bridge on the prius...  the cup holders on the ford are nice as are the door pockets,  the center console is too deep,  but I like being able to keep ipod and usb plugged in and out the way..

[ArizonaEnergi]

I added a shelf to mine. Has worked very well! Here's how to do it: http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/2217-center-console-shelf/?hl=shelf

[mtcmax]

Like the way it makes me smile when driving- quiet, mileage, view.  Dislike-deep center-console.

I could do with any MPG increase :)

[Adair]

Yeah, you're really hurtin' in that department, aren't you, Jus? What did you say the other day about 71mpg on the way home from work?  :lol2:  :lol2:  :lol2:  :lol2:

 

J/K.....you're still the rock star for MPGs! You give us all something to aspire to.

[Marc Smith]

He's just a greedy SOB...

 

Can't say I blame him... :)

[BIG ROCCO]

Like:  Lots of things, but if I have to pick 1, I say FE (45 MPG lifetime over 12K miles)

 

Dislike:  Harsh/bumpy ride when going over speedbumps/railroad tracks/potholes.  If the pavement is smooth, the ride is very good and controlled
