drichmn Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Picked up my new car yesterday. Got my phone paired, homelink working, and hatch height set. So many gadgets. So much to learn. I had to take a little evening drive last night just for fun. Dealer pushed an ESP for over $2,000. If it wasn't for the great information in this forum I wouldn't have been able to tell him how much more expensive his price was. When I told him the online price I could get he dropped it down $1K but it's still $200 more than online. Also reading up on the accessories. Think I'll get the rubber floormats recommended here. I don't think I've seen anything about paint protection. Any recommendations on adding that? Thanks for making this such a useful forum. Having driven a Camry Hybrid for 7 years I can say that driving this hybrid is a bit different. No problem with the regen braking. I'm consistently getting 98-100% energy return. What I have noticed is that I did more coasting with the Camry to squeeze out higher MPG's but in watching the CMax screens it seems I do better with some consistent light gas pedal pressure. On tap today is learning more about Sync and MFT and getting music files that I had burned to a CD for my Camry set up on a USB drive. And probably more driving excursions. :) Edited May 31, 2015 by drichmn KashmirSwimsuit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that bookmarking the manuals online and downloading the pdf files to my various devices makes it MUCH easier to find answers than to trying to use the table of contents of the paper set included with the car.

I will price online, show it to the dealer and let them match if they like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KashmirSwimsuit Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Hey there, I'm looking into buying a hybrid SEL 2014 with 302a probably this week or next in the northeast, was just curious if you had any advice for me? Perhaps in what range were you able to get it for? Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
