We bought this wonderful 2014 Focus 4 door SE hatchback for our 2nd car just before we decided to buy a travel trailer for our retirement. Now we need a larger vehicle to tow the trailer. So, we are going to take a significant loss and someone is going to save thousands over new. We did quite a bit of research before we bought the car and all reviews were outstanding...great handling, fun to drive, 36mpg, etc. so we went with the Focus rather than a Honda or Toyota. As the photos show, the car is white with charcoal and black interior. The tires were upgraded from standard equipment to Michelins when we bought it. The car has an automatic transmission, "Sync" and hands free technology (Blue Tooth, etc.), flex fuel capacity and we put a Drawtite 1 1/4" hitch on it for our bicycle carrier. It only has @ 9,000 miles on it. We drove it to Florida and back for one third of those miles. The rest were mainly highway between Bloomington and Peoria to visit our grandkids. The factory warranty is of course in effect...36,000 mi. bumper to bumper, 60,000 power train, 60,000 corrosion, etc. Not a ding anywhere on the car. *The swirls that appear to be on the seat fabric are not really there...just an illusion as result a result of the way the camera caught the weave of the fabric.   The seats and rest of the interior are pristine.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.

Ford Mondeo Hybrid could beat unloved diesels in Europe

Wed, Feb 11 2015

Predicting changes in the European auto market isn't easy, and Ford is hedging its bets there with the introduction of the Mondeo Hybrid. The Blue Oval has no expectation of the electrified version of the sedan being a rollicking sales success, but the model is a fuel-efficient alternative in case the recent backlash against diesel turns into an outright ban somewhere. This is the first time Ford is selling a hybrid version of the Mondeo (a cousin to the Fusion in the US) in Europe. The vehicle pairs a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder with a 1.4-kWh battery pack to make a total of 185 horsepower and emit 99 grams per kilometer of CO2. The Blue Oval expects to sell around 100,000 units of all versions of the sedan annually there, according to Automotive News Europe. However, fewer than 5,000 of those are predicted to be the gas-electric model. "Legislation around Europe is so different it's very difficult to predict," Roelant de Waard, Ford of Europe sales boss, said to ANE. "If you're betting only on one horse you might be lucky, but you also may be very unlucky." Ford is probably smart to have alternatives ready, and it also already offers the Focus Electric and hybrid C-Max there. Governments in Europe are rapidly turning against diesel, especially in France. The country considered offering buyers 10,000 euros ($11,300) if they trade in an old oil-burner on a new electric vehicle, and the prime minister calls backing the fuel for so long a mistake. The UK's Labour Party is making similar declarations.
