Used 2016 Ford C-Max Energi Consumer Reviews

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

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.

Bad Fuel Economy In The Cold North Contry

It takes a lot of battery to power the heater and the fans... and it takes a long time for the car to warm up which makes the car on short 10 mile trips get 23mpg most of the time... 4 months out of the year. during the summer the car averages out at 43mpg and in July I did not even go to the gas station. but the electricity bill was $40 higher too. in the winter its not worth charging the car because it don't use it anyway... it says the engine needs to stay on for performance when I try to go to 100% EV mode. so I don't even try. the hybrid mode doesn't even kick in below 20 degrees on the short trips. so that's something to consider before you buy a C-Max and that the dealership wont tell you. the battery has an 8 year warrantee and will die soon after... the battery is a lithium ion they only live for 10 years or so... yes they can live longer... and if you take care of them most will but... a lot of people wont... if you don't keep a lithium ion battery between 40% and 80% for most of its life and you let it die and over charge often... your battery will die at the 10 year mark probably. but if you take care of it... keep it charge between %40 and 80% it might last the life of the car. its a good car... but I regret getting it and the competition has better cars than this.

Love my energi
