Brad Stevens Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 My wife and I got our new C-Max Hybrid SEL on 30 August, after researching online ever since we test drove one at a Drive for Your School in the spring. We had wanted to drive something that we wouldn't actually be interested in. Then we couldn't stop thinking about it. I've always had something sporty, even a couple of muscle cars, but was ready for something new and with better fuel economy after my 2004 Sunfire started averaging a couple hundred a month for repairs. The C-Max is our first SUV type car but satisfies our desire for a touch of luxury and a kick of sporty. And now I'm old enough that I want to be comfortable, too! Mine -- ours ;) -- is Sterling Gray Metallic with the panorama roof. I'd have never wanted that roof, but it was on the lot with everything else that I -- we ;) -- wanted. I look forward to the information a forum community can share! C-MaxSea and ScubaDadMiami 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinytop Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 You got the best color! Once I saw the sterling gray I was not interested in any other color. Had to drive 270 miles to get the color and options I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian_L Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) They just discontinued Sterling Grey, FYI. I thought it looked great in the brochure but ended up buying a Tuxedo black from the lot. No regrets. (well only one---I'd have preferred the cash instead of the (useless to me) "remote start" feature but it was already on there) Edited September 9, 2014 by Adrian_L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Stevens Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Welcome! Sorry, but I have to ask: are you any relation to the coach of the Boston Celtics?http://boston.sportsthenandnow.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/BSC82913.jpgThanks! No relation. At least not to my knowledge. Maybe connected many generations back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Stevens Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 By the way, while we didn't really want the panorama roof, especially living in Central Florida, the shade keeps it remarkably cooler that I'd have imagined. I don't think that it is much warmer than the ceiling/headliner of a regular roof sitting in the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelleytoons Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Central Florida? You didn't buy at Sun Ford by any chance? While we live in Leesburg we happened to buy our C-Max there because we were dropping friends off at the airport and looking at cars on the way back. Glad we did -- had a *wonderful* salesperson there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Stevens Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Central Florida? You didn't buy at Sun Ford by any chance? No. There's a Jarrett Ford about four miles from home. We started online and worked with one of their online sales people. It was a really good experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockwallRick Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Sounds familiar?? Is that the Ford Dealer located by I-4 and Hwy 27?? We stopped by there once to look at some cars but we bought ours at our local dealer in Lake Wales. :rockon: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
