Handles very weel. Excellent acceleration. Ride and comfort are excellent as well as minimal noise. Comfortable front seats. Could use a bit more cargo space.

I love this car. It's no hot rod but it has plenty of go when it needs it. I work only about 12 miles from where I live so I'm doing almost all my driving on electric power. Cargo room is a bit limited with the back seats up, but with them folded down there's plenty. It's comfortable. The SYNC system works well. And it's quiet!

This the best overall car we have ever owned. Quiet, fun and economical. Update: 4-2-20 We now have over 25,00 miles on the car and still love it. We have recorded the mileage after ever fill-up and to date have averaged a little over 52 mph. Of course that includes gasoline and electric charges. But it makes us feel good. Our only problem has been a screw coming out of the bracket which holds the left visor. They replaced it for free.

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.
