Peppy, Well Handling Car

I like everything about it except the lack of interior storage space. I wish there were more trays or cubbies.

I drove this 50,000 miles in 1 year as SF Uber/Lyft driver. Good gas mileage. Roomy interior. Hard to sync Bluetooth. Easy to fill gas (no cap) Heavy passenger doors. Slow power lift gate. Small rear storage. Jumpy car. Slow power to pass. Wheels spin on take off and braking, dry & wet roads. Loud turn signal. Uncomfortable seats. Driver seat too high for correct angle of legs to pedals = back pain. Big windshield for good view. Car feels tippy on bumps = low back pain. Windshield wipers bad timing. Nice loud speakers. Ugly side profile of car. Ugly front view of car. Steerng wheel to front tires feels unstable, insecure, esp on highway. First 20,000 miles brakes made awful skid sound when coming to stop at slow speeds. Dealer said "hot spot, can't fix, not dangerous". Seemed like bs.

This rolling computer delivers 41 mpg. No issues after 7500 miles other than a discovery of the need to maintain 40 psi tire pressure.

One of the Best

This "orphan" hybrid from Ford is one of the best cars I have owned. It is solid, relatively quiet, fast, roomy and economical.

Our little blue gas saver.

We bought our 2016 C-Max new in September of 2016. Me and my wife tested the SE and the plug in Energi. We opted for the SE with no options on it. It's has saved us a lot on gas. We average around 44 mpg, my wife has gotten 49 mpg a couple of times. It has great acceleration gets to 80 mph easily. The only things we wish it had was a backup camera and a shorter turn radius.
