Nicer than I ever expected

I never thought I would buy a Ford, but wanted a hybrid, and love the crossover styling. It is comfortable, plenty of room, big back seat, too. The ride is quiet and smooth.

Most Reliable and Economical car we have owned

This is the second C-Max that we have owned. They are easy to get in and out of and drive. The back up camera is the cats meow, I don't know how I got along with out it. You can't beat getting 40 miles to the gallon either.

Best Auto to Own

This is a fun auto to drive. It handles much easier than my pick up truck. I have no idea why other people choose not to go Hybrid.

It is the easiest car to drive-truly economical

This car is perfect for elders. It is high enough to enter and exit. It drives very well in both city and on the road. The design of all functions are convenient laid out. MY wife and I love driving it.

Better View than my Prius

I love my new C-Max Hybrid! I've driven a Prius IV Hybrid for more than 5 years and the gas mileage is great, but as I get older, it was too hard and painful on my knees getting in and out of it since it sits so low to the ground. That's what put me in the hunt for something new and I wanted to stick with the Hybrid technology. The Prius C and Prius V both have the same problem -- sit too low to the ground -- so were not an option. My search for a hybrid with a higher seat (and roof, since I'm taller than average) landed on the Ford C-Max, which is a crossover. It's taller than the Prius and with the 10-way adjustable electronic seat, I was able to find a comfortable seat and still have headroom. Now my knees don't complain every time I get in and out! The C-Max also has better visibility all around than the Prius. I have no need for a big SUV (and the poor gas milage that go with them) so didn't want to go for anything bigger (which also would mean a bigger price tag). The C-Max was the perfect fit for my size, comfort, fuel efficiency and price. The ride is quiet, smooth, comfortable, and it handles well with a tight turning radius. The C-Max checked all my boxes and I'm still thrilled with it after driving it about 500 miles -- and still haven't had to put gas in it!
