Chinto Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hi everyone, I am happy to find a forum for the C Max Hybrid. I will be picking mine up tomorrow. I found a local dealer in Plainfield, IL that was great to work with. Anyway, I decided on a base model SEL in Silver Ingot paint and black interior. I test drove several brands and models before deciding on the C Max. Aside from the great gas mileage the C Max was by far the smoothest, quietest and well appointed of the bunch. I can't wait to get some road trip miles on. C-MAX Hybrid Guide 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinto Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Well I picked up my C Max SEL Saturday. Of course, it was raining all weekend so now it is very dirty. One of the benefits of it raining all weekend was trying out the auto (rain sensing) wiper system. I have never had this feature before but I have found I really like it. Basically it is a setting you turn on and from there the system handles the wipers automatically when it senses water on the windshield. The cool part is you can adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor plus the system will automatically vary the speed of the wiper based on how heavy the rainfall. Also if a oncoming car hits you with a big splash of water the wiper immediately speeds up to handle the splash and then slows down afterwards to whatever speed it needs to keep the windshield clear. Since it rained all weekend I found out how well this systems works. Perfectly! I am glad I have this feature. The wiper system is integrated with the auto lights system so when the wipers are needed in daylight hours it also turns the headlights on automatically. So you basically set it and forget it. Very Cool! Edited October 15, 2012 by Chinto C-MAX Hybrid Guide 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
