Environmental Bliss
We owned the C-Max Energi SEL with Skylight for 2 years and were thoroughly pleased on every aspect of the car (except rear volume). We averaged close to 66 mpg overall. Took several long trips and average over 40 mpg. The C-Max was very smooth and quiet on the highway and handled perfectly. The Ford Sync system was great and the Nav and Back-up Camera were excellent. Unfortunately, the C-Max was totaled in an accident and we purchased another 2014 but included he Parking Assist Package and not skylight. I would highly recommend the Ford C-Max Energi for everyone that is looking for an electric/hybrid.

Alternative to Prii and Leaf
We have lots of Prii in our area, and everyone likes the mileage but doesn't enjoy the car. This car has a much nicer standard interior than Prii or the Leaf and gets excellent mileage. Our daily driving is often under 20 miles so we're mostly electric, but when we go over that range, we've averaged 70mpg over twelve months of driving. One bonus with this car is it's small on the outside and has tons of space on the inside (except for the trunk). I'm 6'1" and have at least 5" of headroom. The small trunk hasn't been a big deal for us, but if you frequently carry 4-5 people and need space, it could be. When we priced used c-maxes vs similar Leafs (with leather, nav, etc), they were similarly priced, and the c-max can go long distances. 2 years later (2019), we continue to like this car. Long-term mpg is 71 mpg, including some long-distance trips. A great way to dip your toes into electric without breaking the bank. The used prices on these are an incredible value. We haven't needed it, but the dealer included a 10-year warranty which I'd recommend since Ford is getting out of the car business and going all-in on supporting big gas-guzzlers.

Great Commuter car with questionable interior qual
Leased a 2015 C-Max. One month after the purchase, noticed that the interior trim fit and finish is on par with the late 90s Hyundais. The trim is literally falling apart. Glad that I leased this car instead of buying it. Pros : Roomy interior with a good ambience Sync is not as bad as people say it is. It does its Job and is a decent system My 65 miles round trip has been netting me 55 Mpg (Not too bad but should have been more for a PHEV) Cons Big battery look away what should have been a generous cargo space. (Better than Fusion Energi or Accord Hybrid though) Questionable interior quality NO SPARE TIRE!!! This is my first domestic purchase and will see how it holds up for 3 years!!!! Have had this car for and a half Still love this car Pros + The interior passenger volume of this car is deceptively large as a 350 pound coworker fits in this car with no issues. + Very peppy engine + Massive windshields make for excellent visibility. + Average Mielage of around 50 - 55 Mpg with a total range of 650 - 700 Miles between fill ups + Kids Love the Ambient Lights + Love the rain / speed sensing wipers Cons - Gas only mileage is lower than promised ( 35 actual Vs 47 Promise ) (I had a lead foot though) - Scheduler for charging and AC do not work even after 3 dealership visits (I blame the dealership Autonation ford for this) Over all makes a very good commuter car. Ford please update this car since competitors like Chevy volt and Prius prime makes newer / updated and better products now *** Last Update Overall Impressions **** Turned in my lease after 3 years of service. Pleasantly surprised with the CMax Energi. Never had a problem with the car for 45 K Miles that I drove in 3 years Great mileage 55 + MPGE average Good interior space, even my 400# lunch buddy had no problem getting in and out of the car Cons##### Ford dropped the car, I did not purchase another car from Ford and walked across to the Toyota dealership to pick up a Prius Prime Advance....

Going to buy it when lease matures!
Set the mpg gauge once we got the feel of driving the car (about 8 weeks) Have driven it 30 months 18,000 miles since the set. ( 125 mpg 20% hybrid 80% ev) EV plug-in is free. Powered off solar panels on or roof. Solar panels were free, more than free after federal & state incentives. Panels produce more electicity than the the house uses, extra powers 80% of the cars energy, one of our lawn mowers, our snow blower, electric fire place and a couple of space heaters to reduce our heating oil bills by 1/3. Love this car. But the 2018 Honda Clarity looks like it will get better milage (almost twice the battery capacity, thus almost the twice the fed & state incentives. Paid $34,000 for Cmax energi (about $23,000 after
