tehuti Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I just became a proud new owner of an Ingot Silver C-Max 202A on 8/10/2013. Oddly enough I was not aware of the C-Max before Tuesday of last week. That day I dropped in to Ford of Orange, CA to get some info about the Fusion Hybrid. When I saw the small trunk space I knew the Fusion was not an option. By luck, while waiting for the salesman I noticed the hatchback hybrid on the showroom floor. Once he showed me the features and I had time to research it I realized this is the car I was looking for. My daily commute is 60+ miles round trip and gas was killing me. When I saw the estimated 47 MPG of the Ford hybrids I was hooked. Now that I am onboard I look forward to the savings in fuel economy. Glad to be in the Ford family after 9 happy years as a Chevy driver. I loved my Malibu Maxx, but they have nothing to match what Ford is offering right now. slampro, salsaguy, Jus-A-CMax and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made sure they knew, there was a recall. It seems like they were unaware. Scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
