  • My Ford CMax is the best vehicle I have ever owned

    I bought a leftover Ford CMax Energi plug-in hybrid 6 years ago. My only regret is, that Ford discontinued making this model. I was a Mopar man all my life, but I am now a Ford man. My CMax is the most satisfying car I have ever owned, and I will keep it until I die. It's a plug -in hybrid, so I can drive 1,000 miles from Philly to Tampa without sopping to charge the battery. One or two fill-ups for gas. And it has electric everything, so it's so comfortable to drive all day. I just wish I was younger, so I could enjoy it longer.

  • Great car, just not the most appealing body style.

    Great reliable car. Nice to run around town on nothing but the battery, but always have the gas/hybrid system so you don't worry about finding a charging station when traveling. The interior features are some of the nicest in the cars we own.

  • So excited to have a hybrid again

    Very happy to have a hybrid again, and especially a plug-in. The size is perfect, and the advances since the first hybrids are amazing. A little on the pricey side - even though used - but I'm thoroughly pleased.

  • Excellent for daily driver and comfortable.

    All of our family members love this car for the very reliable easy driving and comfortable interior. Great gas mileage. We had an issue with a windshield leak when new and it was fixed under warranty promptly . Otherwise there has been no problems for four years.

  • Ford Issues On Recall

    Ford is the absolute worst to deal with when filing a claim on a SAFETY recall. It's a RECALL, so obviously they acknowledge the issue but refuse to step up and take ownership of a safety defect with the C-Max Energi charger. I now understand the multiple lawsuits they face regarding recalls and defective vehicles and will not own another Ford product again.

  • This is the best car I have ever owned

    I bought this car with only 29,000 mile. So far this has been a great car. I plug this car in every night and drive to work in mostly electric mode only. So great as I am averaging about 45 mpg. This car comes standard with so many great options.

  • Fantastic Car from a great dealer!

    The first thing I look for is a car that fits. Im a big guy, wide and tall, so I need head room, shoulder width, leg room and can't have my knees crunch on the dashboard. I drove my VW Bug until it was ready to be done and found the Ford C-Max Energi This vehicle is Amazing! Comfortable, sporty, small but large. Lots of bells and whistles in the SEL model like remote start, redirective brakes, push start, Sirius, USB ports- steering wheel controls, touch screen- I love that I have driven back and forth to work the entire week on 1/8 tank of gas. Charging is easy as it comes with a standard 110v EVSN. I have purchased a lot of cars in my life from auction to neighbor to mechanic to dealer. This was above and beyond by best experience! Carin at Ford Maguire in Ithaca, NY was a phenomenal sales person. Though she admitted she was new to this profession, you couldn't tell- she seemed to care what I drove and why I needed what I needed- a very good listener. No pressure on the up-sells and great communication. Other dealerships in town, Ive found smarmy, pushy or just flaked out. Carin made it an easy, thorough and smooth transaction. So happy with my new hybrid!

    This is the first car I've bought since 1997. With all the great features and controls, it is way smarter than I am. I am very happy with the Ford C-Max Energi.

  • Great Car & Great Value

    Bought this car CPO about 3 weeks ago. I plug it in every time I get home. Drove for 10 days straight without using a single drop of gas!! Went on a road trip & averaged 51.3MPG in hybrid mode! Mine is fully loaded with navigation, back up cam, parking sensors & glass roof. Got a good deal on it. I wish it had blind spot monitoring. The cargo area is a bit tight on the Energi model, but worth the trade off for the 20 miles of gas free driving per charge. It?s surprisingly peppy when you get on it & both the electric motor & gas motor are working together. It?ll squeal the tires no problem! Got the extended bumper to bumper warranty because all these electronics are expensive!

  • !5 free miles a day

    I love this C Max. The visability from the way the windows are designed makes me feel comfortable. I plug it in and drive around with the first 15 miles of energy stored. the height inside is better than many cars. And its spunky.
