Much Better Than A Prius

I have driven this vehicle for almost 3 years and have been thoroughly satisfied in every way! I love the higher panoramic view compared to the Prius. I pulled up next to a new Prius at the traffic light and was surprised at how much lower the driver sits in the Toyota! Of course, the performance of the Cmax is so much quicker , which is important when merging or passing! The quality, great mileage and comfortable ride will make me keep this car for many years to come! It's 5 stars!!

We like and enjoy the car very much. This is the third C-Max we have owned. Its economical, comfortable, and the backup, side and rear vision is very good. We also like the rear carrying space.

2018 C-Max fun to drive economical vehicle

2018 Ford C-Max Hybrid SE 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

After test driving this vehicle, a year prior to purchasing, I knew when the time came for a new car, this would be it. I was so happy my salesman was able to track a new one down since there were few remaining within a 300 mile radius. So sad this model is now discontinued. I keep a running mpg average which now reads 39.1 for 5400 miles combined hwy. and city. The car handles great in snow. It Is also fun to drive and has ample cargo space. I am even able to transport my 8ft kayak with back seats down. Although other hybrids may achieve higher mpg's I am very pleased with this Ford version. It is stylish and a good value for the price.

I looked at the C-max on and off for years prior to purchasing one. Like everyone I had heard all the tales of Fords reliability. So, I waited and did my research on the car before spending my money. After a year of ownership and 10,000 miles, I am pleased with my purchase. I have consistently gotten over 600 miles to a tank and have enjoyed the features. The only issue I have is with the electrical system. My display screen on multiple occasions has just turned off then rebooted to the Ford screen. I am not sure what that is about but it is annoying to say the least. I have also read a lot of reviews saying it is quiet. In my experience, it is quiet while idle however I can definitely hear the motor while driving. I do most of my driving on I95 and the C-max is louder than my 10 year old Kia Sorento.

This is my second C-max, first one was a hybrid and this one is a plug in. It has never disappointed me. I am a little upset with Ford because they wont be making the C-max any more. It has been a very good and comfortable car. Mileage with combined features is about 63 miles per gallon.
