anaphora68 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hi all!my name is Saul. I'm a Prius owner (2012 II) that is trading it in for a used Ford C-Max. The dealership let me take it home last night for a test drive. I have to say, I'm truly excited about this car. The Prius, while a decent commuter, is lacking in the creature comforts department. I know I'll be sacrificing some gas mileage, but I'm ok with that for a car that has better handling and pick-up. I was originally looking at the Prius V, but it just costs too much for what you get. Ford seemst o have really cleaned up their acts as far as reliability goes. I'll post more pics after I finalize the deal, and after the dealer details the car.

fotomoto Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) CONGRATS! :happy feet: Former 2010 III (w/solar) owner. Pri are great cars if mileage is the be-all, end-all of your needs. I thought it was for me but after a couple of years of ownership, I (we) came to the realization that it lacked in so many ways some of which you've pointed out. Once you start driving the CMax, you're going to notice many things Pri owners have been asking for for years. Ford listened. :hi5: Edited February 21, 2015 by fotomoto anaphora68 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian_L Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Welcome to the forum. My only regret with my (aka the wife's) C-max is I never seem to get to drive it. It's a solid and satisfying-to-drive car. C-MaxSea and anaphora68 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MaxSea Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Congrats and Welcome Saul ! Yes indeed, the sum of the details about a car really do matter, not just the MPG. Hope all goes well with the purchase process, that you have a good dealer, and most importantly enjoy the new (used) C-Max ! After two years, we continue to be pleased with and :wub2: our C-Max.

anaphora68 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 My wife just got a 2015 RAV 4. Her 2000 Avalon was about to kick the bucket. We were looking at other Toyota hybrids, but we needed the utility. Luckily, the C-Max is all mine. She'll drive it from time to time, but it's mine.
