Very underestimated hybrid!

Its a shame Ford didnt just redesign the car to make it sleeker instead of discontinuing it. This blows away aPrius by far. Great pick up and fun to drive. Smooth and quiet ride! Using the plug in we get about 1000 miles for each tank of gas. And 37 mpg with the hybrid engine.

1999 Ford F-250 4X4

Very economical cost of operation. Nice size. Comfortable. Ford service mechanics seem unprepared to work on it, however. We like it. So far. good performance.

One of the best cars i have ever owned

This car was terrific from the intuitive layout to paddle switches that make sense to an average of 60 mpg over 10,000 miles it is quiet and has great road manners. Consumer reports was all wrong, on electric alone it will go 80 MPH not 50 I am so impressed it beats my wife's Prius all to heck and at $10,000 less dollars!!

love it so far & fun to drive

just got my ford c-max yesterday & love it so far. the car is unusual & unique. it has a very different look and feel than anything else I have ever driven, which makes it more fun. very comfortable seats and smooth ride. very fast pick-up speed for a 4 cylinder car. the car looks small on the outside, but very roomy on the inside. I chose the c-max over the prius after some research & glad I picked the Ford c-max.

I LOVE this Ford.

It is extraordinary. I use it for work. We've had it 3 weeks and haven't put gas in it yet. It's fast, smooth riding, and easy on the eyes.

Best performance hybrid plug-in!

The C-Max Energi exceeds my expectation! Handling, acceleration and seating comfort are ahead of the direct competition. This is by far the quietest car I?ve ever driven!

Technology Loaded and Very Fuel Efficient

Loved the C-Max! Extremely fuel efficient, high amounts of technology, and features that make it feel very high end. The ride is extremely comfortable. The plug in feature is a game changer. I can commute around town for days before I actually use my gas engine.

I love my Energi!

I absolutely love my CMax Energi. It has been everything I hoped for and more. It is comfortable, and has great take off. It has so many additional features, including the built in navigation.

A Really Good Vehicle

The Ford CMax Energi was purchased because of our experience with the CMAX hybrid. It outperforms, out handles, offers more value and is more useful than every other vehicle in its class. We tried them all. The Ford service has been excellent as well. The car abounds in many great touches. Having a hatch that opens wide by proximity is really helpful. No other car offers electrically operated lumbar support and electrically heated and cooled seats for both driver AND passenger. We had the hybrid version for 3 years and nothing went wrong. The car is quiet, yet there's never concern that there's enough power on hand. The exterior styling is a bit stodgy (to me), but there's ample room inside and the materials are top quality. Even better, if you can find one, Ford is usually ready to deal, since the 2017 was the last model year.
