Ponypower Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I am new to the forum, I have just ordered a 2014 C-Max. I understand production doesn't start until 12/2. Sounds like a great great car!! ScubaDadMiami and C-MaxSea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Welcome aboard! You will be among the first to get the 2014. We can't wait to see it! :drool: hybridbear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponypower Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Thank You, looks like I ordered a C-Max just like yours but in Ruby Red. Are you saving a lot on gas? Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 You can see my lifetime number at the bottom of my posts. It was almost 49 MPG, but I went on a long highway trip, which knocked it down a bit. You will be very happy with your choice. If you can go for it, get the Panoramic Roof. It makes the interior look even bigger. Costly, I know, but I am happy with the selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) This is a great car that's great on gas, too. Treat it like a sports car and you'll get sports car mileage. Treat it like a hybrid and you'll get somehwere between 35 and 60 MPG, but be prepared; the pattern of high and low is backwards! I realize that's a heck of a mileage range, but speed matters. Doing 70MPH, I'm getting about 38MPG if I exclude acceleration, on-ramps, etc. Driving back roads to work, 55MPG for the round trip is going to come up regularly... but I'm only averaging 30 mph. And that's just the beginning... HAve fun,Frank Edited November 11, 2013 by fbov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jus-A-CMax Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Power - theres no button to press. YOU decide with your right foot. Now Mr.OP, are you sure you do not want a nice, pleasant, green, sunshine loving, green fields with blue skies with a backdrop of beautiful black/white moo-moo cows in the background, ♪ ♫ whistling ♫ ♪ music ♪Prii♪ now? Its a great little Japanese car. R u sure you want all the controversy with the CMax...the MPG, the dead battery, the windows rolling down. Jus playing the Devils Advocate here...and I do well, I know, I have no car at the moment...except this wee lil no-guts thing called a Toyota....

fbov Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Please forgive Jus... he's been C-Max-less for about a month now and I think hallucinations have started... Adair and C-MaxSea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a happy C-Max day!! PonypowerThe dealer should give you an approximate build date. The exact build date will not be available until the week before it is actually built.This is when the window sticker will be available which shows the scheduled build date.Read this thread for build date and delivery tracking information. From that thread:"Once you have the VIN, you can pull the window sticker (about a week before the build) at: http://www.researchm...yCarOrders.html" And congratulations on the expected delivery!

Ponypower Posted December 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Thanks, your right the vin has no hyphens. I will check with the dealer again to see if they have an expected delivery date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
