fordfan82 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Test drove the C-max a few days ago and Loved it! Sales guy we deal with gave me a silver one to test drive but they also had this Color in stock and my wife liked it better and I do too. Wife loved it when she took it for a test drive. We both thought it is very roomy, amazingly quiet on the inside cabin and drives fantastic!

Jus-A-CMax Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) :congrats: Congratulations! 67 posts huh - looks like you did a whole bunch of research and participation here as well - good stuff ;) ps I could easily drive a Storm color, I like it as much as my Platinum, and without the heft $400 for the extra paint Ford charged me (but whos complaining with all these checks from Ford).

MichaelM Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) I have an Ice Storm SEL also. The color is so calming it helps me my mind at ease. Good luck with your purchase. May you have many miles of quiet EV in front of you. Edited July 25, 2014 by MichaelM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotomoto Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 CONGRATS! :happy feet: We need details: trim, packages, 1st week report, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Test drove... a silver one... but they also had this Color in stock and my wife liked it better and I do too. Your pics were taken under the ideal conditions to show the car as BLUE... which it's not. I'll wager you were facing East shortly before sunset. The tree (and presumably your house behind you) shades the car from any direct, full-spectrum light, so it's mostly blue skylight illuminating the car, and lo and behold, it's blue! I trust you bought it during the day, so you know that Ice Storm is green, but a pale, metameric green with a cameleon-like appearance, that also doesn't show dirt like some colors. Enjoy! Have fun,Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockwallRick Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Personally, I liked the Blue Candy better than Ice Storm, but my wife thought that was too much blue and after all, it is her car! I used to have a Silver Blue Corvette that appeared to changecolor depending on the lighting as well. :rockon: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordfan82 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 CONGRATS! :happy feet: We need details: trim, packages, 1st week report, etc.We got the SE. The SEL was going to run 500 a month and that was just a base model. So SE trim with My Ford Touch / winter package. First week has been great. Up to 40 MPG so far and still on the full tank the dealer gave us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun,Frank I've noticed the Green and blue. Saw the color online and hated it but when I saw it in person it was much better. Wanted a Blue Candy color but dealer did not have any in stock. Picture was taken at my parents house near sunset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexh Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hello, C-Max members,I just picked up my new C-Max 2014 SEL Ice Storm with 302A package. So far, I love it. I like the color and the power. I have only one question, There is a whine when I startup, depending on whether the Electric or Engine is running.Anyone else notice this? It scared me in traffic yesterday. I have 291 miles and so far it registers 38.8 with 3/4 of a tank of fuel.Any suggestions for the noise? Everything else, I am figuring out by this forum and reading the book. RexSeaMax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Is the noise the air conditioning? Our AC is horrifically noisy, and I often turn it off as I start up as it seems particularly noisy starting off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to check further. Maybe get an audio file for you folks to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
