Extremely Happy

By Ken written on Sep 3, 2015

I have had the C-Max since buying it new in the summer of 2015. I have put 25,000 miles on it as of today and all is good. I average 39 miles a gallon and mostly do interstate driving and often run at 75 to 85 mph. You have to run 85 around Cincinnati or you'll get run over. It never seems like I am going 75. It always seems slower. I was given a warning once because I was 70 in a 55. The officer asked me if I knew how fast I was going and I said "70, but with this new car it seems like 50." He gave me the warning because my record was clean. The C-Max engine was much better than the CR-v or Crosstech that I test drove. It can move, has the gas economy and plenty of head and body space. The bells and whistles inside seem to be the biggest negative that I've read about. They are a bit awkward but not that important to me. Good music sound. For economy and power this is a great car. It runs quite. I am hoping Ford has put in the technology for it to last me a long trouble free time. (Sept. 2016 and all is still going great and hitting 20,000 miles - March 2017 and 25,00 miles). A NEGATIVE SITUATION has developed: Sometimes it will not recognize my phone and says no phone available. This may happen for all or part of the day. The next time it works.

Your Prius SUCKS compared to this car!!!!!!!

By Phil Demarest written on Apr 26, 2016

I LOVE this car!!! I had a 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid prior to this and wasn't enamored with the Hybrid system in it. With the C-Max, Ford has hit a HOME RUN! The system runs great and the switchover from electric to gas/gas to electric is seamless. I love that I can cruise at 85mph in electric mode! We went to San Diego from Phoenix and it used only 3/4ths of a tank of gas,(it has a 12 gallon tank). I thought it was totally cool going down the mountain doing 72mph TOTALLY IN ELECTRIC!!! Driving around town I am getting 60 to 70 mpg as displayed by the computer when I shut it off!!!! The controls are easy to use and my kids think the efficiency leaves in the display are cute. I like the visibility out of the car and the built in blindside mirrors are great. I have no complaints about this car and I highly recommend it to future purchasers. I think that because the hybrid system is so good Ford should put it into the Escape. My youngest daughter, (she's 17), keeps saying she wants my car!

Unfortunately my wife got hit by another vehicle last December and totaled our Cmax. We had just over 80,000 miles on it and still had the original tires, brakes, etc. During the time that we owned the vehicle, we had no problems with anything. We loved the vehicle and really thought about purchasing another one. The game changer was that this happened in winter and gas prices have been low. We decided to replace it with a Ford Escape Platinum. We have over 15,000 miles on it and are very pleased with that vehicle so far. Since my wife drives 150 miles round trip every day for work, I wanted her to have all wheel drive in winter. Had it not been for that, we would have had another Cmax.

No spare

By Robert written on Oct 9, 2015

Not only does Ford NOT provide you with a spare tire. They make it very difficult to buy one on your own. There is little information on the internet and nothing in the owner s manual. They have no information on use of a carjack etc. They make too much money selling you tire insurance, to help you get a spare tire. And I am sorry but waiting 90 minutes for AAA to come and tow your car to repair shop just doesn't seem as easy a just changing a spare tire and being on your way in 15 minutes.

Leaves the Prius in the dust

By Loring written on Jul 15, 2016

I wanted a hybrid as most of my driving is short rides in the city, but I was used to driving a large sedan and didn't want to give up that cossetted feeling. I test drove a Prius and felt like I was in a golf cart. It was noisy, slow to accelerate, and sloppy on turns. The C-Max, on the other hand, handled beautifully and was quieter than some luxury vehicles. So I bought one and am delighted with it. I'm getting 46.7 miles per gallon and climbing. The dashboard driving coach, which is easy to understand and doesn't distract you while driving, will make you a better and safer driver. Really, it has transformed me as driver. I used to roar up to red lights; now I start stopping hundreds of feet before a light. As braking regenerates the battery, I find myself hoping the light will turn red instead of stay green. The driver coach has made driving as much fun as a video game. Having the C-Max has turned driving which I used to regard as the price of getting somewhere into a lot of fun. On the down side, the rear seats are like sitting on a board and there isn't much cargo space. So, if you always have passengers and need to haul around a lot of stuff, you'll probably want a different car. But, for me, this car is PERFECT. Yeah, Ford!
