catsailor Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yeah I am the guy that is pissed at Ford for depreciating my C max before its time. I am also the guy that is averaging 43.6 MPG for just about 29,000 miles driven with a 96% brake score. I am NO PT Jones, Matt or the top FE guys here but I am better than your average C Max driver and I drive my car as a traveling salesman. I need to drive a lot of highway and I need to be on time to make my appointments. So sometimes FE be dammed. So I do tend to own my cars to +100,000 miles as evidenced by the following if my memory serves me right... I count only Fords I have owned: 1990 Taurus 3.0 V6 = +140,000 miles (retired)1995 Windstar 3.8 V6 = +177,000 miles (retired)2001 Escape 2.0 V6 = 56,000 miles and this is my wife's primary driver2007 Edge 3.8 V6 = 137,000 miles company car (no longer with company so turned that one in)2013 C Max 188 hp = 29,000 miles and counting BTW NONE of the Ford's I owned EVER had an extended warranty until this C Max which indicates my intentions to run her till the wheels fall off. now here is the most perplexing question I ask myself each time I get behind the wheel of the C Max. If I had a do over would I by the same car TODAY with the choices I have right now?? The answer is always a resounding YES. The only close option I would consider is the Diesel Chevy Cruze hatch back not released yet for sale. VW can stick it in my book too many small issues I dealt with them on with my past 5 VW cars I owned. Plus their cost of parts are outrageous. I love the C Max and wished the Fools in the engineering and Marketing department take a minute read and learn from these boards......stupid to take on Prius on the mileage issue alone...just plain dumb. spyburn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiling Jack Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I support your plan, but where are we going to buy an extended warranty that will not expire before we're done with the cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
