I LOVE my C-Max. I've had it since the end of July and have 3,700 miles on it. I've averaged 44 mpg on my daily commute over several hills. The colder weather has now dropped it down to 39 mpg but that is still excellent. The ride is quiet, the seats are comfortable, and the Ford MyTouch/Sync system was very easy to figure out and is very easy to use. On my second year and still love this car - still average 44 mpg on my daily commute in the spring/summer/fall and 40 during the winter months. My only complaint on this car is it is hard to park so I would recommend to anyone to get the auto parking feature.

This is our first hybrid and I'm so glad we went with the C-max. It has gitty-up when you need it, plenty of space for two adults and one baby (and everything that comes with a baby). driveability is very good and comfortable. This is our second summer with the car, and we are achieving the 45-47 mark. Winter is a different story, more like 42. All in all a very good car and I'm truly surprised there are not more on the road.

Bought my C-Max SEL in January 2013, model 303A with pano roof. I have 1800 miles driven, primarily in city and suburban settings. Bought this vehicle mostly as a commuter car, but wanted rear hatch to have flexibility carrying larger objects. There has been a lot of chatter about the mileage published versus real life. The EPA tests are not real world. If I can get in the 40's I am good. Would buy a C-Max again. If you want solely the highest mileage get a Prius, but don't expect much of a driving experience. The C-Max will give you some fun an dfeel while driving.
Fails too soon, no spare tire

I purchased it new in 2013 and maintained it perfectly, thinking that it would last for a very long time when cared for properly. I received $1000 in rebates for the poor gas mileage (I get 39.5 mpg) that was far lower than advertised. 6 years and 86000 miles later it has failed twice for two different reasons leaving me stranded in dangerous conditions. Both time occurred within weeks after a maintenance and multi point safety check. It just shuts down. I now fear getting into the car and its value has dropped to about $5000. Just a waste. No help to the environment or global warming if the car becomes useless and such low value after only 6 years.
Truth about the Mileage Debate

First, after 6 months of driving my C-Max, I can safely say that it's one of the best cars I've owned, in quality, fuel efficiency, and features. Ride is smooth, and there's power when you want and need it. People used to driving Prius and other brand hybrids WILL NEED TO ADAPT, because the C-Max behaves very differently, and makes different choices than other hybrids. Once we learned how to drive it, we're averaging 37-45mpg, which is actually higher than we expected (nobody expects to actually make the "published mileage" because we don't drive in computer controlled conditions. Turn off the climate control, open the windows, and we get over 50mpg! Ignore the naysayers!
