chickenpotpie Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Today was the day! in 2009 I bought a ford focus. Great car no complaints, I just hate sedans. some years later we got a greyhound and while she'll jump in any car I ask her to for a ride, the focus isn't her favorite. the Because I wasn't prepared to go all out and buy a cmax, I went for the lease with the focus as trade. (I barely drive, its kinda funny why I ever bother actually) anyway, I think I got a good deal....at least I'm hoping. No money down, 210 monthly decent money factor (1.1 I think?) plus they took the ford because it wasn't even 30K miles. I'm a tech geek, I program stuff in my real life so have an affinity for Useful tech. My old car didn't even have cruise control! Anyway I got a 2015 SEL step up from base model in Ruby Red. I'm sick of silver cars frankly. So I take delivery tormorrow, but I'm already wondering what the hell I got myself into...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenpotpie Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Thanks, I'm super excited, a little scared though! The test drive went really well and I enjoyed it. I'm ready, its the next step for me. We already have solar on the house and have for the past few years, so green technology is great when it can enhance how you live... I mean, as long as its kinda cushy ;) I've been reading pretty much anything I can get my hands on including lots of the ford online manuals but OMG, sooo any questions. I hate to sound like a noob (I am its so awesome though! :love_shower: :love_shower: ). I pick her up around 3pm (as long as no one springs a crazy late afternoon meeting on me) No name yet, I'm thinking on that. The dog has no opinion on names. lol. This reminds me of my first stick shift car and all the uber excitement/ fear I had when I drove her off the lot,....a fully loaded sparkly aqua green Geo Storm named Gussy. I damn near killed myself in that car in the beginning, but I had it eventually for 225k miles before giving it to the next victim owner.

scottwood2 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I am a tech guy too and that was a big factor in getting the C-Max. I think the tech is cool and fun to figure out how the whole system works and how to get the best FE. I am not a big gamer but I think it is fun to see how well I do on every drive. Funny my other half is a gamer and whats nothing to do with the FE game on the car. Sometimes I wonder just how do you get FE scores so low when I look at the MPG from the last drive after he has drove it. :drop: HotPotato and Mtceecee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brbevil Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Congrats! The tech is definitely one of the items I love about the car. It all works seamlessly! Enjoy your new ride and welcome to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtceecee Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Congratulations! I got mine about a week ago and am enjoying the heck out of it. I still feel a bit like "Tron" but it's getting easier. I can't help but enjoy the FE display after every trip, especially after I managed 61.5 mpg on a 14 mile short trip yesterday. Felt like a kid with a new video game! As for a name...it just hasn't come to me yet, this car is just so much more than I had imagined. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I am enjoying mine.
