Earlier this year I took a 2 month 6500 road trip around the USA! My CMax ran the trip without missing a beat, no problems at all and the fuel mileage was awesome. I wish Ford still built these cars instead of hugh trucks and boring SUVs (Updated 11/2022). I have owned two C Max Hybrids, a 2013 and currently a 2016! I enjoy the fuel mileage, the acceleration along with the comfort and quiet of these cars. My 2013 had about 50,000 when I traded it for the 2016. The main difference between the two is the stereo. One thing that wore out earlier than they should have were the Michelin Tires. The ones on my 2013 needed to be changed out at about 30,000 miles. Both cars have average over 42 miles to a gallon. About 1/4 of the miles drive have been with the electric motor. I recommend this model highly. Oh, the hatch and folding seats mean the car can carry lots of stuff. I have even slept comfortably in mine! May, 2023: my car now has 83,000 miles on the odometer and running strong and getting over 43 MPG. All the headlight bulbs have been replaced as one turn single stopped working. The remaining bulbs worked but this hopefully mean that it will be a long time before they need to be replaced. It would be nice if they were still being manufactured but I am looking to getting well over one quarter of a million miles! From the end of July 2023 to mid-September my road trip of 7350 miles went without any problems. I drove to PA, WV, TN, OK, AZ and then home. There was no ZnVH at all. The odometer shows 95,000 miles and my 2016 Ford CMax is running strong. To bad for discontinued this vehicle and decided to build all trucks and SUV's that are inefficient and overpriced and horrible EV's. They lost my business as they are so greedy! As for the high voltage battery it is doing fine!

Car purchased in June 2016 at Livermore Ford. It ran less than 40 miles and had to be picked up by a Ford dealership as it would not start. It is now going on seven (7) weeks later and I still do not have the car. Since this happened, both Ford Motor Co. as well as the selling dealership have made many promises. There has been no actual follow-through and I still do not know the exact status of the car, nor have I received any return of payment for the vehicle. It seems that neither Ford, nor the selling dealership, are at all concerned that I paid in full for a vehicle that would not run after 40 miles and that I still do not have after seven weeks. I hope this helps you think twice before purchasing a Ford product! After ten (10) weeks I finally have a car that works rather well. However, the dealership as well as Ford Motor Company made little effort to quickly solve the problem. Adding to the problem, after Ford Motor Company finally resolved the computer-based problem, Livermore Ford did not send the necessary paperwork to enable me to license this vehicle. POOR Service!!

Love the car & its features, but very, very disappointed in the cheap plastic surrounding the rear view mirror. I cannot put up a sun shade without it falling off. Truly, had I known this would have been a deal-breaker. I'm in TX and need to be able to use a shade.

I love my cmax it is simple , but perfect for me. I love the look with a small front grill good looking manufacturer parts. Leather seats are better than the manufacturers . Got added with buying the car. Also got to choose my color of leather for entire interior. The best sales people in LA.
