chuckles Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Just picked up my new C-Max last Friday and the first thing I got it polished up with some products from Zaino. Z-2 covered with Z-CS topped with Z-6. Impressed the salesman who tried to sell the $500 eco coating. As for setting up the screens, once I got to pushing the buttons, I figured out the logic on how the menus worked and I got the info on the screens I wanted. Interfacing with Miss SYNC has not gone as well. I have to lose the Yankee accent and start speaking Southern to it? As for the ride, I find it very nice and quiet, with good acceleration and handling. I have not noticed the issue some people have complained about when stopping and the not-so-smooth transition from regen to hydraulic brakes. Then again I have been driving gently. Average mpg indices the high 30's but I won't be tracking it till 1000 miles. My wife's FEH took a while to loosen up before getting the advertised mileage and now we exceed original mileage numbers. Well have to go and to throw the clubs in the back and hit the links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Congrats. I had to google to see where Pinehurst is--so you are down South--nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jus-A-CMax Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Congratulations! I did the same as well except I clayed my CMax and then applied some Klasse paint sealant followed with some nice Meguire wax. Still looks beautiful till now. Enjoy the car and don't worry about the MPGs - this car takes a some time to "open up" for better MPGs.

Catmobile Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Love the Pinehurst area, very pretty. Congrats on the new baby! I have yet to see another one "in the wild" where I live. Since I don't have a garage (and I hate to wax my car anyway) I took mine to a detailer for a good hand wax. They have waxes we can't get anywhere. I may do that a couple of times a year ($50, with tip $60). I have the White Platinum metallic paint, and boy, did it look pretty when they were done! I have to give Ford a thumbs up for the paint job, it was flawless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
