Used 2015 Ford C-Max Energi Consumer Reviews
charge port cover flaw!!!!! Pop open door?
charge port cover is held in place with a spring and if it disconnect it affects the entire housing which can cost up to $500. What a surprise... it happens after the warranty! The charge error message "fault in charging!" I cannot believe the poor design that cost the owner hundreds! I have own cars since the 70s and this is the 1st time a signal light bulb fails within 2-years! I have a truck/2004 and I never had to replace any lights to this day. Cheap!!!

Love my Energi hybrid plug in!
Coming from owning mostly Hondas and Toyotas, I started to get bored of them and went the German route. After a couple VWs and a BMW, I got really tired of fixing them. Me wrenching on the cars myself, I found I had very little time to maintain them after having a toddler. After some time and my wife driving around a Lexus CT200H (basically a Prius), I was really adamant about getting the same reliable drivetrain since hers now has 230k+ miles with very little maintenance. I was on a Prius V mainly because of the room it offered. I had a 2003 525i wagon which was nice to have all the cargo space so I wanted something like it without having to buy an SUV. Well, after some frustrated searches of trying to find the V used with the whole trim package I wanted, it was nearly impossible due to the rarity of the car. Along came the awareness of the Ford C-Max. I knew about the car before as I had seen it before and thought that it was a nice looking car...but never really looked into it...well, this time around, it really caught my eye after seeing I can get an almost new one with low miles for cheaper than I can get the used Prius V with 60k miles. I read lots of reviews and different opinions and after looking online at different sites trying to find a mint one with all the extras I wanted (moonroof, leather, white color, etc), I found my car and bought it sight unseen pending on how it looked in person of course. Once I got there after a 3 hour drive, my wife and I were super impressed. Love this car! Drives, looks and feels so much nicer than the other Priuses I had already test drove and now my wife's 2012 Lexus feels old in comparison of how it drives, cabin comfort, road noise, options, etc. I had not even driven one before but I knew enough that I would be satisfied. I mainly drive on EV mode and I believe the previous owner did too as the lifetime MPG numbers were 68mpg. It is now down to 63 mpg after a couple road trips on hybrid mode. Already drove it 1000 miles in about 2 weeks. So far, super satisfied with my purchase and I feel great about it! We shall see how it does in the long term...I will update this review at a later date. Ford, please keep bringing these awesome cars you have been making for Europe for years to the U.S.!

I have loved this car since the day I got it. The $7500 federal rebate and the carpool lane stickers more than paid for the plug in upgrade from the hybrid. No repairs except a new screen that was about $300. Still getting @ 20 miles off battery before gas kicks in. It is the perfect car for errands. I am ordering a Mache E tomorrow and passing this one on to my daughter.
Energi - love it!
So happy with my Ford C-Max Energi Plug-in-.In Hybrid. It’s well-appointed, fun to drive, sporty yet comfortable and fuel efficient. In short - the perfect commuter car. My only issue is with the limited cargo storage...no good place for the dogs and their paraphernalia, so I bought them harnesses that attach to the seatbelts and covered the rear leather seats with a sturdy (dog-friendly) fabric, and now they ride in the back seat instead of the cargo/back area.

Best car ever
I love this car I’ve had high end cars and gotta say this - by far this is the best. I had Mercedes, Bmw and all of them cost a fortune to repair. This one, never has had a problem. I’m thrilled
