Great vehicle, 43.2 mpg! Saved me $$$$$

This car saved me enough money in three years of gas consumption to be able to purchase a newer model Ford. This car gives a smooth ride and NEVER gave me one issue! Lots of cargo room, too.

This car is awful!

I have 154,000 miles on my 2013 Ford C-Max. Bought mine new in January of 2013.right out of the gate the rear wiper never worked right. Wouldn’t do a full sweep on half speed. Then the transmission needed replaced in 2017 at just over 100k miles. The control arm bushings rot and need replaced during inspections, the brakes feel like they go out when braking over a bump which can be scary. Road noise is terrible and so is wind buffeting when you have just one window rolled down. Recommend this dumpster fire of a car to your worst enemy! Don’t ever get one for yourself!!

I Love This Car

This car has been the most reliable car I have ever owned! Comfortable, great gas mileage and lots of space in back, especially when back seats are Folded down. I would keep it but I need a car that I can tow with and I don’t drive enough to justify keeping it.

I got this car after the dealership told myself li

It's a lemon. I had issues with this car from day one and 3 years . To find out this car wasn't put together right. My car wasn't working and I reported it to have my sister's. Car pop up on the lemon law list hers was fine never a issue but mine good God they had it more than I did . Fake sales and promise just to get a sale. Even told to buy extended warranty for what anything wrong they charge for. I will not be ever buying another one from them . Almost 40,000 for a lemon!!!?!!!

battery Problems corrected in 2016

The car is fun to drive and kit delivers very good mileage. The problem has been the the battery that starts the car. The dealer has been very good and has exchanged batteries with no charge to me. I would suggest that if you are looking for a hybrid cart that you check the,C-Max However, look at the 2016 or later models.

Love this car. Best car I've ever owned.

I've owned many cars over the years and sad they quit making this one. This has been reliable and comfortable. This has been a perfect commuter car.

First Car I've Owned

This car is very comfortable and easy to drive. It is also very fuel efficient giving me about 40 mpg. I cannot wait to take this car on road trips.

Excellent car.

We were reluctant to part with our Ford C-Max hybrid. It was comfortable to drive both short and long distances, especially for my wife who has serious back problems. It got terrific gas mileage, it was easy for me to get in and out of, it ran trouble-free the entire 67,000 miles we drove it. Our only complaint was that it was too small to be able to handle transporting our stuff and my wife’s walker and mobility scooter. Our trips required planning and compromises, especially if we took our fur-buddies with us. That is why I was so torn between the RAV4 and the new Escape hybrid coming next month. I believe,, based on our 7 years driving our Ford C-Max, the hybrid technology for the new Escape will be as good as Toyota’s. I do not hesitate to say that we would still be driving the C-Max if it was larger like our RAV4.
