I had a Prius and would choose the C-Max over that any day. It is a more comfortable ride and has better visibility and a better driving position. Surprisingly, the cargo area is about the same and the back seat on this cute little C-Max is fantastically roomy. I think it's the head room that makes a real difference in the roomy feel of it. GET the SEL! I changed out the tires because of poor traction in wet conditions. Huge improvement but my mpg dropped significantly. Still can't complain, though, and I'm much happier with the safer, quieter ride.

As we approach the end of the 4 year lease the veneer has somewhat tarnished in the last year. It was all pretty good but the last year has shown chinks in the armor. We had an issue with the front axes, brakes and tie ends after about 85-90 k. Quite disappointing. As the age of the vehicle has progressed, the mileage has become increasingly erratic. Averaging 5.8l / 100km (48 MPG) right now. Big drop in Winter ... drops to 6.2 or 6.6 depending on cold. You can buy non hybrids that get that. Does not bode well for the future, so we have decided to return at the end of the lease. Still don't like the Courtesy wipe. The Sync System (which Ford has revamped since 2013) is an afront to anyone tech savvy. Sirius cuts out often...don't get that on the other car. Maps can go wildly out of wack and need to be updated annually as part of the included package. Navigation is kind of a frivolous waste with things like WAZE now. Definitely needs the snow tires. Integrated garage remote works about 50% of the time, as do the door locks and foot swipe rear hatch when its cold. Better in warmer weather, but still not over 90%. What is next is up in the air. Kind of thinking Ford has gone from Quality is Job 1 to Quality is Job None. : (

Everything is great except the quality. We purchased a C-Max for our business and it has been a disaster. When it works we loved it... Is it worth it to have a vehicle that may leave you stranded at any point? "NO." You cannot unlock doors without power. We have had to abandon the vehicle and use an alternate to get our work done on three occasions. I was so pleased to give Ford another chance but what a disappointment. Do not buy this car until they figure out the bugs and fix them. I will never buy another Ford.
Great, Peppy 42-43 MPG car

For most people it's not a 47 MPG car, but the fact is a great 42-43 MPG car. (My lifetime MPG peaked at 45 in October but is going down with colder weather.) Myfordtouch is fun to play with even though the speech recognition is a bit dodgy at times. The car performs much better than the Prius and is roomy for 4 adults. It doesn't really NEED a backup cam in that visibility in the back is better than a prius even without a cam, but a cam would be nice. Mine has the rear sonar which is useful, but a camera would be better. My only problem has been a tire pressure warning system light that won't go off withotu a dealer re, but that's not unique to the CMAX, that's a standard Ford part.
Okay. Enough time to tell.

The only reason I'm rating it low on comfort is the seats. Hard seats, with leather and heaters. But all the cars I test drove had hard seats - Subarus, Toyotas, Hondas. C-Max Hybrid is a great little zipper. Overtakes other traffic easily. Ease of entry and exit - no banging head or knees while getting out or in. Good storage space (but do keep in mind, this is not an SUV). I hope the C-Max will prove to be a great decision, as I spent the better part of 5 months reading articles, driving cars, comparing all aspects. My last car - Nissan Murano-2004 traded it in, before that Nissan Pathfinder 1996 and still running. I would have rated fuel economy as great, but for the fact that it is not the top of the line MPG. It is close to great. Just not perfection. I fill up once every two weeks, and it costs me on average $23.00 to do so. Only once have I achieved over 40MPG's. Mostly it holds around 37 to 39MPG's. 90% of my miles are city. But I do make the quarterly trip to upper Vermont, and the quarterly trip to upper NY state. Those longer road trips go by with ease, and mostly a feeling of comfort. I would recommend this car for the single driver, the small family with one child, and even the person who heads to the box store a lot to load up on supplies. The back seats lay down flat and are a really great help. My first ever Ford, so there is a lot at stake here - the Ford reputation. Ford, don't let me down now.
