I feel sad - just lost my first bar today. Odo - 30,630 Manufactured - 06/11, Delivered - 10/15/11 P3227 update - 6/13 Location - Fremont, CA. Miles/kwh - 4.1 Parked in garage 7 days/week. Only 2 quick charges, mostly L2. Charge 100% on weekdays, 80% on weekend. But last few weeks, have been...

My wife and I bought a Ford CMax Energi over Ford Fusion Energi, Prius Plugin, and Chevy Volt. We needed a car that can go long distance and carry our stuff on weekends, use electric for my wife's 12 mile commute to work, and green sticker for my longer commute if needed. Prius was short on...

I experienced the grabby brakes and had the dealer update the software two days ago. The grabby brakes are gone at low speed and brakes feel firm. However, in eco mode, the regen seems more pronounced. My usual commute use of 4 and sometime 5 bar is now using 6 after the update. I think I...

Thanks all! I consider the C Max Energi as part Volt, Leaf, and Prius Hybrid. If I choose, Auto EV, it acts like a Volt where it prioritizes the EV and limits the use of the engine. In EV mode, it drives like the Leaf. And in EV Later mode, it drives like the Prius. I like it a lot like my Leaf!

Hi all. I just bought a C-Max Energi plug in and want to use the 110 charger that came with the Leaf to charge the C Max in the garage and leave the C Max charger in the car so I can plug at work. Will it work? Do you see an issue with it? My wife drives 16 miles to work so she can use the...

It depends what part of San Jose. I drive from Fremont to San Ramon and I use 5 to 6 bars already and that's with minimal traffic. The hills make it hard to drive and save energy. Perhaps no issue to Milpitas and 237 but South San Jose or Santa Clara, you may need to charge. There is a free...

Good question. I used Infinity because a Leafer tried the speakers and sounded good. The 63.9 and 62.9 seem to be one of the top speakers out in the market. Let us know your experience with other speakers when you install them in the Leaf.

Pacific Stereo in Fremont, Ca - $80 - Mark installed mine. 45 minutes total time to install. I called two installers in Santa Clara and I got $160 and $200 installation quote. I bought the speakers from Amazon.

The installer of my speakers used a plastic tie strap and tied it tightly to one of the small holes in the sheet metal. No noise from it.

Thanks Cwerdna for clarifying. I changed the title using Tonywilliams' suggestion. Thanks for members that explained the issue and gave suggestions to an inexperienced forum guy like me. A member who answered with no value added - no thanks.

Wow. Are you guys just reading the posts for grammatical and spelling errors? You cannot even capitalized the first letter of your sentence? I did not see any value of your answer thankyouOB so why answer at all? So just FYI - Mission San Jose High School is one of the best high schools in Ca...

Thanks Phil! :D

Quick question. The ones that have the Infinity speakers installed, are the fronts way louder than the rear? I have to fade more to the rear in order to get a balanced sound. If I leave fade in the middle! I only hear the front speakers.

Thanks. I added a question mark.
