    Battery beats the body.

    A great 2014 car, fantastic mileage. Engine and battery her flawless. 2022 now and my tailgate is resting out. It looks like the battery will outlast the car. No help from Ford whatsoever they couldn't care less. If I had had 12 years without rust I would have been happy but 8 years is a disgrace. "Built at the Michigan Plant with Pride" according to the sticker. The paint is just flaking off in places leaving the clean metal exposed to rust. Bottom of rear window and both rear wheel edges. Single owner $35,000 car been rustproofed several times and still the paint flakes off. Body shops asking $3,000 plus for repairs on the paint. Too bad I can't attach the photograph.

    This is my third C- Max

    I drove 500 miles to pick this up. This is the best car I’ve ever had. I drive with jackrabbit starts and get 38+ mpg. Very peppy and handles great.

    Easy entry and exit. Great mileage!

    I'm 6' and over 80 so do not bend well but can get in and out of this car without banging my head as I do in my Fusion. Mileage is great. Around 39 mpg. Have had no issues with the car so far. Main complaint I have with the manufactures is not supplying hybris with spare tires. They should at least ship them with "run flat" tires. My replacements will be as this is an issue.

    Best car I have ever owned!!!

    I own a 2014 CMax, gas mileage is the best! I average a tank of gas every 2-3 wks, drive it every day for work and errands. This is the best car I have ever owned. Fabulous on gas mileage, easy to handle, spacious. I never thought I would be happy with a hybrid but it was a decision for the better. I recommend the CMax to everyone I know looking for another car. The best value for the money, well worth the purchase.

    Love the way this Car rides and great gas mileage.

    I love it! I enjoy driving this car. It is so nice the way it handles. I have RA and it is a very comfortable car for me. It has a awesome ride for a smaller car. Very good on gas too. I only stop at the pump 2 times a month now. The other cars I've owned it was twice a week.

    Best car I've ever owned.

    Most economical car I have ever owned

    My wife and I were looking for a car that got better than 25 - 30 mpg. The Ford C-Max hybrid meets and beats that requirement. We are currently getting better than 40 mpg, city and highway combined. Beyond the mileage it is a very comfortable car to drive, with great visibility and good handling. Couldn't ask for more!

    Perfect for single person

    The CMax is compact, but because the back seat folds down I am able to transport what I need to. I have three dogs - two who weigh less than 20 lbs. and one who weighs 55 lbs. we travel comfortably in the CMax. Gas mileage is phenomenal. I average 41.5 mpg around town. I haven?t taken a road trip yet, but can?t wait to see highway mileage. The vehicle is easy to handle and has, thus far, been dependable. And parking is a breeze. I am really enjoying my CMax Hybrid!
