KansasCMAX Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Hi everyone - this is an awesome forum. My family (wife, 4-year old and 4-month old sons, and me) just purchased a 2013 C-Max SEL with about 19,000 miles. I have been waiting for the Big 3 to come out with a hybrid really worth driving and the C-Max is that vehicle. We traded-in a 2011 Lincoln MKX, due to the pathetic fuel economy. What sold me on the C-Max was the spacious cabin, elevated driving position, and the fact that you can own a hybrid that still has some of the must-have features. The fold-flat seats are also handy for additional cargo storage. My wife has a 2010 Nissan Altima Hybrid, but I hate driving it because it is so dull. Anyway...happy to be a part of this great community and love getting those stares from people trying to figure out what I'm driving!

mtb9153 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Welcome KansasCMAX glad to have you with us. I agree with your remarks about what attracted you to the CMax. The thing I really noticed on a recent road trip on the pacific coast highway 1 is how well the steering responses to quick left/right maneuvering through tight turns like I encountered following the California coastline on my way to cross the Golden Gate Bridge. The car handled very well and when I had to stab the brakes to cut down some speed, the car handled it very well. Despite the weight factor of the CMax. No I think my CMax will be with me for a long time. About the only thing I can foresee is upgrading to a future CMax if designs are improved to my liking.

JohnnOhio Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Welcome and Congrats on your purchase. I know what you mean. I love the cabin hieght and seating position. I'm a tall guy and couldn't get a fuel efficient car before now. I couldn't fit into them. Keep us informed on how you like your car. Have any questions ask away.

C-MaxSea Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Cheers Kansas C-Max! Best of luck & welcome. Love your line: "What sold me on the C-Max was the spacious cabin, elevated driving position, and the fact that you can own a hybrid that still has some of the must-have features." Nick Living in a city, I love that it puts out exhaust only half the time (or less) - the air we breath matters!
