About CT3113

  1. I would change the oil for your first time a little early to be safe... Just had mine changed at 15k (still had 30% on the oil life)... mechanic found a transmission leak. Cars at Ford right now getting fixed.
  2. I have been wanting to do the same. Coastal Tech makes a Lockpick device that will allow you to add an aftermarket rear camera (and enable video whole driving). I would get it, but for some reason the 2014 Energi isn't listed as an option??? Let me know if you find a solution!
  3. Good questions Scottie. I felt the same way...ended up buying some Niche 129s...unfortunately they sent the wrong bolt pattern and now sit in my garage waiting for me to sell them. Reordered...but the 129s were back ordered with no estimate for availability so went with the 130s (black). Been really happy with the look (much better than stock IMO). I went with 18" wheels...didn't want to go overkill...especially since I didn't want to lower my car. I also had tires from a previous car that fit perfectly. I do think the car would look better with a slight drop... But I just don't want to so it. Still looks good without it. I have Niche 130's ... 18x8" ... 5x108 Bolt Pattern (or 5x4.25) ... 40mm offset ... Continental Extreme Contact DWS Tires. No issues with rubbing or fit. Overall...very happy. The M129s look amazing in person...but I am really happy with the M130's too. Doing it again I would pick whatever is available fastest! I did order new aftermarket TPMS sensors...was torn if I wanted to put snow tires on the factory wheels or just sell them. Still undecided on that one. I also had to get a programming tool on Amazon to reprogram the new sensors ($25). I'm sure you can use the old sensors, but would have to pay to have the tires removed, sensors switched, and tires remounted (factory tires) depending on what you plan to do with them. I did notice a change going from the stock 17s with low resistance tires to the slightly wider (235) 18s without low rolling resistance tires. I was able to get 75-80 mpg on my typical 46 mile commute...now avg 65-75. Biggest noticeable difference is my coasting, so I guess the low resistance tires must help. Let me know if you go for it (you won't regret it)...I'm really curious how much the low resistance tires help. Would have gone with them myself if I didn't already have tires in the garage!
  4. I vote black...but may be a little biased. I have a white fusion with 18" Niche Targa rims in Black.
  5. No issues whatsoever. Did see the MPG drop a little. I'm guessing the dealership just wants an excuse to get out of warranty repairs if they come up.
  6. Any luck? I was able to get my aftermarket TPMS sensors programmed via the tool without any issues.
  7. Ever find one frbill? I am installing new wheels soon, am torn if I want to sell the factory ones or keep them for winter months. I would consider parting them out if there were a few people interested in one.
  8. I've had the last quadrant not show on occasion too. Seems to work itself out on the next charge.
  9. Vendor sent me the wrong bolt pattern... Had to re-order and looks like I'll be on M130's too. The M129s were on back order.
  10. Looks good! I am getting some new wheels for mine too. Hate the look of the factory wheels!
  11. New wheels! Currently being shipped...feel like a kid waiting for XMas.
