finkins Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I am a 70 yr old owner of a new C Max SE in Victoria on Vancouver Island. Almost 4000k on the odometer.My first ever North American new car purchase. (Datsun, Volvos, Mazda, Honda, Toyota, Subaru).I was a bit dubious at the beginning of this search, but....My wife and I couldn't be happier with our purchase. Solid car...so quiet that you forget it is running...tons of room both front and back and overhead...very adequate storage in the back...comfortable seating, especially in the front where it counts....terrific high stance easy visibility all around...lots of nice small features, lighting, great radio and console, storage areas, electrical outlets etc...and all this and I am getting 5.3 to 5.4 litres/100k for mileage. Oh, and it drives like a dream come true. I am quite happy with this gas consumption. After all, there is no other car its equal that delivers anything better. I tried the competition, and Ford won the wager. Why would I even consider buying a car slightly better on the gas figures, that I really preferred not to drive? Seems straight forward to me... slampro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slampro Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Welcome to the forum! It is nice to see another happy owner. I agree with your reasoning. There are a lot of friendly people here, and lots of information, should you have any questions. If you can't find an answer, just ask, these folks are great.
