Stepped out of an '11 Prius lift gate into the C-Max Energi. No comparison. Build quality on the Energi is superb, not the tin can experience I left behind. Don't get me wrong; the Pri was a great car, but this car should have a Lincoln badge on it. C-Max feeds data and info to me I have craved. I've learned to finesse the pedal to maximize range & you will, too. More mass with this car equals better coasting and a solid solid feel. I catch myself having qualms about being in a mini-SUV b/c of the higher seating position, then remind myself 'it's OK' - the seating position and view is awesome. Interior quality is upscale. I thank Ford for giving us in the USA a taste of the European Focus.

Owned Cmax since 1/1/13 you will get this mileage (85mpg and increasing) if you drive less than 40 miles between charges with like 1/2 freeway. If you drive alot more than that a day you will probably do better with another car. Nice drive and havent been back to dealer yet.

Hey its not the sexiest car on the road but it is roomy, quiet, comfortable and simply awesome for MPGe. In 21,000 miles I have used about $45 in gasoline. I have a level 2 charger so life is easier. I also do not have a long commute and most of my driving is within the electric only range of about 30 miles. My only complaint is the reduced cargo capacity due to the batteries. IMHO I believe FORD needs to: 1. Up the battery size to provide 100 miles + electric range. 2. Up the size of the onboard charger to speed charging of a larger battery 3. integrate the battery better so as to not take so much cargo room. I am OK if this reduces the gasoline tank size. These changes would take the C-Max Energi from a great car to a world-class leader in my books.

The Energi is the first car I have found with significant electric range and a hybrid backup system that is practical. Volt is sporty but the dimensions of the car don't fulfill my everyday needs.
Best if used around town

We've had the Energi since it was new (now at 44k). We've had a couple of electronic component/software issues, but these were resolved and we haven't had any problems for the last 20k miles. We are getting 15-20 miles per charge on electric only. Given that we use it especially for around town traveling, we get a consistent 110 miles per gallon, and around 1300 miles per gas tank, sometimes up to 2000 per tank. However, used in hybrid mode only it gets around 40 mpg. Given the somewhat lower price of electricity at home (and at Whole Foods where it is free), it probably saves us some money in the long run. I avoid going to the gas station for 3-4 months. I don't like the Sync entertainment/Navigation system much - I end up using my Android phone which is much more useful and easy to use for navigation. I wish Android Auto had been available back in 2013! The bluetooth does sync well with my phone. The other aspects - acceleration, road noise, handling, seating comfort are all good. I tried a Volt recently and found that the C-Max's visibility is 100% better. I also like the auto-opening/closing trunk. Naturally, the battery takes up part of the trunk - but that hasn't really been a problem in daily life. I think that ideally the family would have another car for long trips both because it really doesn't maximize the utility of the short electric-only distance, but also because it doesn't have a spare tire - if you get a flat, you have to be towed or have a new/fixed tire delivered to your car (or pray that the tire service mobility kit works).
