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.

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.

From Fiesta ST to C-Max Hybrid

I actually enjoy driving the car. Not very fast but greatly spacious with all sorts of nooks and hidden compartments. It is however an enjoyable drive, it saves me money, and it's better for the environment than all of my previous cars combined. Went from an SRT-4, to Fiesta ST, to a C-max. lol, never saw this coming but happy to be here and happy to be out of the gas only, 93 oct life.

The best

The seating is comfortable, easy in and out. Good visibility all around. Kind of like a little mini-van. The ride is quiet. The handling is better than anything else I have driven. Passing power is like a V6. Over 100,000 kms and no issues. Except the 12v battery needed replacing. The mpg may not be as high as a tin-can Prius, but there is no comparison.

Roomy, good visibility, comfortable with leather seats, very peppy - only big complaint is low beam on headlights seems to point down way too much - would want some driver lights added - not a matter of brightness, just aim - high beams are fine - could see myself enjoying this car on long trips, though not quite as much as my 99 Mustang six -

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