The best cars are cmax hybrid hatchbacks and here’s why!
My car is a hatchback hybrid. I absolutely love the features that it comes with. My favorite features are the mpg, it gets 42 city mpg!! The heated leather seats are perfect for Wisconsin winters. It has a beautiful panoramic roof that makes the inside feel even more spacious than it already is. My passengers are always shocked to see how much space is in the back seat. I get the trunk space with seats that let down like an SUV. It is like I have the perks of a SUV in a hybrid sedan. It is the best car I have ever owned!

Great car all around! No issues here.
Great car! We get awesome gas mileage and love all the different features. The leather interior along with the heated seats rocks and the interior lighting when the sun goes down is so cool! We initially thought that our car would be slow considering that it is a hybrid but this car gets up and goes!

Small tips for ford c- max hybrid.
The vehicle is extremely environmentally friendly and saves me a lot of money on gas. The issue with this vehicle is that there is no spare tire, but there is a temporary tire patch pump. Because the car is push start it sometimes can die and you will. Have to use your physical car key which is located inside your key fob. You will have to put the actual key next to the steering wheel for the car to detect that there is a key. The car will start again. Another thing is if your car is dead and need to get it jumped the main car battery is not located on the form but in the back of the car. You will have to go through inside the backseat of the car.

I can drive electric with no gas for short trips.
I love the technology in the car. I do wish it had a rear camera and more sensors, but that was a more expensive model. I love driving gas free. The ac is starting to go out now but summer is winding down so I may just worry about it next year.

Ford review good and bad.
Wish it had more electric capability. I really like all the features like all the hands free features the lighting. Would like more trunk space. And the ability to fix problems without taking it to a mechanic everything is more complicated and expensive to fix.

Amazing little gas saver!
This little car is amazing on gas! It is a smooth ride and I love that it provides ample room in the back when folding the seats forward. However one drawback when driving on cruise control for an extended amount of time it struggles to adjust its rpms when switched to manual.

Excellent gas mileage. Roomy and comfortable ride
Sync connect is awful. Mileage is unbelievable. Comfortable ride and very roomy vehicle. Average mileage and 70 mpg.

Reliable car and a gas saver that feels like a luxury car.
My vehicle does not have major performance issues. It saves a great deal of gas and it very environmentally friendly. Despite being a relatively small sized car, its interior is very spacious and comfortable. My specific car includes an incorporated GPS with voice activation, cruise control, and back camera. The online issue I have encountered so far is that the electric system of the car started being a bit glitchy after 100k miles, in that the back camera does not work consistently. Other than that, this specific model of ford is a very reliable car that I would buy again.

Superior head clearance than all other compact, high mpg vehicles.
The car gets great gas mileage. There is far more head and leg room than comparable cars. It is very peppy for such a small engine. I do not like that the turning radius is larger than my full size truck.
EMILY H
on January 8, 2021
GAS MILEAGE IS AWESOME, BUT THE LACK OF A TRUNK WITH A 2 YEAR OLD SUCKS.
THE VEHICLE CAN GET ON AVERAGE 50 MILES PER GALLON WITH NORMAL FAMILY DAY TO DAY DRIVING

Cute hybrid car with a lot of fuel.
It is a quiet car that drives really smoothly. It is a small car with a lot of room. The storage in the car is endless. It has night time lights inside that change colors. It is also fuel efficient. It is a smart car that lets you know what is wrong with the car because it is runs diagnostic test.

Amazing electric hybrid ford.
This car feels bigger on the inside than it appears to be from outside. It is extremely comfortable and provides a smooth ride. It does not have the longest range of hybrid electrics but if you do not have a long commute it is far enough. I routinely go a month or more without buying gas. You can select if you want it to run on gas or electric. Nice sound system. The navigation is okay but I prefer to use google maps. The electric range is shortened when it is cold outside. The thing I dislike the most is a poor turning radius.

A red, 4 door ford c max with plenty of storage and foldable back seats.
My ford c max is a great combination of comfort, efficiency, safety, and performance. It is a great hybrid option for those who are environmentally conscious and want to save on gas. It is a 2014 model, which I got October of 2019 and looks and runs like new.

My chargeable car that rides as smooth as can be.
I love the feel. It drives smooth. I do not have any complaints. The car works well with the two motors. The only struggle is having a charging port at home or somewhere else. The charging port I bought was expensive but it is worth the money you save on gas.
Gloria A
on October 20, 2020
It is my first car and I have a bind with it.
Like that it is so great on mileage and is easy to maneuver in traffic. I do not like to park with it because there seems to be limited line of sight when looking back towards the rear side doors. Would have preferred more window areas.

Best hybrid ever, no plugin needed.
It has been awesome! As a hybrid, but a rolling hybrid, I get 40 mi to the gallon and I love it. Over the years it has dropped down to about 32 mi to the gallon but other than that it is been wonderful absolutely love it. The only problem I have experienced is that it does not have a spare tire but that actually helps it to be lighter and it helps to get better gas mileage so I am okay.

Why buy ford c-max for your personal and business purpose.
The 2014 ford c- max hybrid is an interesting alternative to compact crossovers wagons and hybrid. It could very well have you considering your option. The c-max is still very miserly. The c-max has more cargo capacity than a compact sedan or hatchback. Is falls short of similarly price wagons and SUVs.
Jayla B
on September 9, 2020
In love with my ford c max.
I absolutely love my car. It is always so quiet, the engines turns off if you are stopped at a red light for a while. Only downfall about the cmax is that the charge does not hold for many miles. It runs amazing on gas though and I have no complaints about my car. I highly recommend it.
Laurence R
on August 18, 2020
It is a fun car with good endurance.
Mpg went down severely after 50k miles. Namely it went from about 45 mpg to 32 mpg. It is transmission fluid ran dry around 100k. Also the smaller front battery kept running down without explanation. I replaced the battery 6 times in the last 3 years.
Jennifer W
on August 16, 2020
Pros and cons for my ford c max.
Great gas mileage, love the Bluetooth phone and audio features, also the electric seat adjustments, and heated front seats and the plug in feature. Backseat is a little cramped and the cargo area is not very spacious,. But overall I enjoy my car and it works for my family.
Carol H

The paint color is unique, depending on the sky, it is green, blue, or gray.
It is quiet. Gets great gas mileage because it is a hybrid. I love the color which depends on the sky. It helps the environment.

I would want people to know that a hybrid can be as powerful as a gas powered car and don't need to be plugged in.
I love the way my car drives and handles. I love the cargo capacity of my care. I love the fuel efficiency of my car. I wish my car had a cargo net in the hatchback because loose items fall out.

The ford c-max is a great car for traveling.
The ford c-max hybrid has been a very reliable car. I do not travel much so I have only had to spend less than $50 dollars. It has a lot of space in it. The seats are very comfortable. It drives well. Super easy to navigate in city traffic. Great for traveling.
Robert C

Good hybrid car for families.
Nice, comfortable car with a really smooth drive. Has plenty of room for kids, groceries, and some small hauling. Only downside is the tires have give me problems, since the side walls are thinner than on normal, non-hybrid cars. I would recommend this as a nice family car.
Randy B
on July 20, 2020
Even with a big battery I still have plenty of cargo capacity with room in back.
My Ford C-MAX Energi phi is great overall but best for short trips and city drives. Needs more range on battery to a better fit for longer trips and multiple short trips between charges. Smart collaboration with gas engine that I can select on demand to save battery for city start/stop high efficiency. I average 66 mpg effectively doing this.

Gas Mileage and Comfort
Absolutely no problems with this vehicle. I intend to drive this car until it quits or I do. 40 mpg with excellent power and comfortable ride. I have driven it 65m miles is 6 years. We are older so no children at home. With the rear seat down, it offers plenty of cargo room. I can't understand why they stopped making this great car.
Mark C

Our c-max energi, perfect transportation.
PHEV, 18 miles of total ev range, average gas mileage since we got the car: 48.9mpg, over 90000 miles, quiet, comfortable, lots of cargo space. Full view sunroof, best sound system in a car I have ever owned (Sony premium), a very good voice activated navigation system.

I like the Microsoft sync tech in the car. Also the great gas mileage it has.
Battery goes out every 4 to 5 months. Then I have to change it. Which runs about $150 to $200. Also the rims are extremely hard to find if you damage one. Has taken me about three months to actually find someone who has a replacement on hand. Besides that it is a great car.

Debra R

Big car luxury ride in a powerful hybrid vehicle!
Love the gas savings, the heated seats in the winter and the excellent ac in the summer! The turning radius however, needs improvement! Chevy's is better. This smaller vehicle rides like a luxury large car and is wonderful for long road trips. It could, however, be improved with more luggage space.

A plug in hybrid that does everything right.
I love my plug in hybrid, extremely cheap to keep. The upgraded Sony stereo is the best factory system I have ever heard. Very nice in dash navigation system, and I love all the guide sand gauges to help you drive as efficiently as possible. As an average continuously for the past 4 1/2 years: 49.0 mpg.

Ford c-max, good vehicle for commuting to work.
I currently lease a Ford c-max. It is a very reliable little car. Has a lot of get up and go and even though it is a smaller car, the way it sits makes it not feel so small. Only disadvantage to it is there is very little trunk space due to rechargeable battery being in the back.

Being a hybrid it is great on fuel and with more horsepower than the popular prius. Better car than prius design wise and space.
It has great fuel economy and is spacious allowing plenty of cargo for it's hatchback area. Nice features, plenty of them and solid design looks good on the road.

90 mpg and only $20 a month for gas is the one most important thing
My hybrid averages 90 mpg combined gas and electric use. I spend $20 mo. On gas. The is almost perfect but does not have the latest safety features like auto braking and other warning systems
Marc Q

Gas mileage. I fill up my tank twice a month and that is coming from someone who drives a lot. Gas is also cheap. The tank fills for $25.
I love my car. It is a hybrid and I love the gas mileage. I only fill up my tank twice a month and as a coach who travels a lot this is a big help. It is quiet, a smooth ride, and very safe for my daughter.
Joanne P
on December 5, 2019
Best feature is the gas mileage.
The best thing about this vehicle is the gas mileage, averaging about 41 mpg in the city. I do not think the car is comfortable, so I do not like it for extended drives of 75+ miles. Some of the layout is awkward - the glove box is unreachable when driving, and not easy to use even when you are not. It is too deep to have things easily accessible. The visors are pretty much useless due to the very large windshield and the shape of the car. The sound system and voice-controlled features are lame, and usually do not work.

It is been reliable & a great deal for the price.
I like that it is a nice in between size, not so small that you feel like you will be in danger of getting hit but yet small enough for easy parking. Also like the option of running on gas or battery power. Only drawback is small trunk space battery takes up most of that.

It is smaller and red. Leather seats
It is quiet and easy to drive. The Bluetooth works well and it get great gas mileage. I also love the rear park assist. It has heated seats and you can plug it in to charge. Little trunk space due to the battery. Leather seats are nice don't like that the vents move easily

Spacious little car that does well in snow.
Me and my family love the gas mileage we get and how spacious the car feels on the inside. It is also very convenient how the seats fold down if you need to haul something a little bigger. With that said our seat handle did become unlatched so we are no longer able to put one side of the seat down so that is very disappointing. Lastly it handles itself pretty well in the snow so we are impressed with that.

Joyce W

Great storage, little compartments all over the car, under the seats, etc.
Only downside is miles per gallon does go down by almost (ten miles per gallon.) Hard to find back windshield wiper parts. Have had issues with electronic codes popping up different readings but was solved by system update. Voice command can get frustrating sometimes as it is ai (artificial intelligence) is not as on par with a google assistant or amazon’s Alexa. Child safety features are great, easy to install car seats on side (passenger sides not middle.) Biggest issue is the turning radius, absolutely a nightmare. You really have to turn the car and make sure it is a wide enough space otherwise you'll have to do that 3 point turn for a tight u-turn for a example, which you really shouldn't have to be doing when bigger cars have a better turning radius than a compact SUV.
Jessica F
on July 1, 2019
Perfect car for the minimalist mom.
In the 3 years I have owned this vehicle I have never had a maintenance problem. The gas performance is excellent because I only get gas about once a month. There is more headroom than you what would expect in a smaller hatchback. The cloth seats are easy to clean and it has a great moonroof. My only real complaint is the amount of rear cargo space. It can fit a load of groceries or a stroller, not both.
robert l

Ford c max a great mileage car that drives nice and more horsepower than prius
Tires are made for less rolling resistance from factory so not as good on wet roads. Great gas mileage. Nice space inside. Good equipment and options. Nice wheels.

Great pick up and gas mileage.
I love my ford c-max hybrid. I gets great mileage and it has great pick up. I have not had any problems with it the only thing is when you close the hatch with the button inside the car you have to either have a window down or a door open or it will not shut.

I love my car! I have had no problems at all and I have the car for over 3 years. I just do basic maintenance and it runs forever. There have been no recalls on this model. It is a comfortable car w/ leather, heated seats and very powerful engine. I would buy another one when the time comes however they discontinued it for what reasons I do not know.
JENNIFER L

Acceleration is incredible
Handling is good, acceleration is great. Would love a sunroof on my year. I would like a push button option over a real key. The back windows wont go down due to where the wheels are located. The size of the car is good, my son is super tall so the space above works great. I would like more options to change the colors in the lighting for internal lighting
Sherry L
on March 13, 2019
Great gas mileage and above-average performance!
The car gets very good gas mileage, 45 - 60 mpg. It runs very well; we have had it for over four years and have had no mechanical problems with it. Of course, we do get it serviced when we are supposed to. The seats are not real comfortable for long-distance trips, but they are above average in comfort for the size and type of car that it is. Overall, we are very satisfied with this car.

The hybrid battery is great, it charges and holds a charge up to 25 miles of city driving that's enough to get you around for a while. So that's nice!
Issues with radio quitting, bad signal, plug-in hybrid is nice, but manufacturer recall because the plug melts and ours did. Other than that, it's great, I feel safe and it drives great.

Ford C-Max: A great little vehicle for the environmentally conscious
I love this vehicle. The fuel efficiency is amazing, it's really the biggest selling point. I've saved so much money on gas. It runs well too, good enough to get around easily. Not the most powerful engine out there, but that was never a concern to me. I've had no problems at all, although I have only had it for a few months. The only drawback is that the interior space is pretty small, so if you need lots of passengers, then this isn't the car for you. Other than that, it's great.

Quite, wonderful fuel economy 2014 c-max hybrid.
I love the look of it, hatchback. Smoothest ride ever, four wheel drive. Amazing gas mileage since it is a hybrid and practically recharges itself while you drive. Love that it scores my braking. Mine is a lovely baby blue, super roomy front and backseat, plus the trunk that opens and closes on its own. Extremely quiet.

A small car with so much room you think you are driving a Suburban.
When sitting in my vehicle, I feel that I am in a much larger car. The interior is very roomy. The headroom and legroom is amazing. It seats five people comfortably but could easily accommodate 4 very large and/or tall people. I travel with my job and the gas mileage is awesome. I average between 43 and 45 mpg. The back seats fold down giving you room to haul a good size load. The interior has colored lights at your feet, on the door handle and in the drink holders.

The navigation system is great.
The truck space of this car is very small. I love the technology that comes with the car. The side mirrors have the little inset windows that are very helpful when changing lanes. The car does not come with a spare tire unfortunately which has not been a concern. The charging plug is a bit short.

Perfect car for a family!
I love my Ford c max energi. I get about 104 miles per gallon and plugging it my garage did not make my electric bill go up. Perfect car- fits 4 comfortably and although trunk is small we can do a load of groceries or overnight bags for a trip. Love the no hands phone system as well.
Diane P

Ford made an amazing hybrid car.
I really like our c-max hybrid it is great on gas, when driving around the town it is quick and responsive, one of my favorite things is how well it hugs the curves on the back country roads. One thing I have noticed is that it slides a bit in the rain, might be the style of tires that came on it, otherwise it is a great car.
Linda S
on November 20, 2018
I really love my c-max hybrid.
I absolutely love my c-max hybrid. I get better mileage than the listed average. I have had zero issues with reliability. No mechanical or safety issues. The car is comfortable. My only complaints: 1. The a/c vents do not direct the air as well as I like. . 2. There is no spare tire so I need to put it in the trunk area. . 3. I wish there was a cargo net so packages do not fall out when I open the hatch. . 4. The foot activated opening of the hatch does not work well. . Aside from these issues, I love it. Seat warmers are great. The car is really cute and I love the changing blue/green color. I love the electrical plug! It has really just been a great car.
Bruno P
on November 17, 2018
That it uses half the gasoline that their car does.
I love this car. Very roomy for it's small size, Quietest car we've ever owned, hatchback with fold down rear seats, factory GPS, Ford Sync, and a plug in Hybrid power plant that has delivered 48.3 MPG since January 2016, 55000 miles ago.
Annalise A
on November 15, 2018
I love how quiet it is, it is very nice.
My c max is a very nice car. I like it quite a bit, mostly because it is very quiet. You can barely even hear when the car is on, which saves me from a lot of headaches. The Bluetooth interface is easy to use and syncs up well with my phone, and it is easy to use it to play music and answer phone calls. In fact, two phones can be synced at the same time; my mother normally syncs her phone for calls, while I sync mine to play music. The car is very smooth to drive, and has a lot of control. I like it quite a bit! If there was anything I had complaints on, they are few, but here they are. Sometimes the navigation system lags or is hard to understand. The turn radius on the car is also not very good, you have to crank the wheel to turn it fully. But the brakes and gas react at a slight tap, so that is very nice.
Mingli H
on November 13, 2018
Ford for the environmentally lazy.
This car is excellent for city driving and short road trips. The battery lasts for a good 15 miles if you obey traffic laws and only needs gas about once every couple weeks. I would say the only downfall is the trunk space being quite limited so investing in rooftop storage is a good idea.
Dot H
on November 11, 2018
The features of a c max hybrid.
It is very reliable and surprisingly spacious. The gas mileage is very well. It is also helpful that it shows it digitally. In total I thoroughly enjoy all the features this car has, from the Bluetooth, to it being a hybrid. It teaches me how to be the most efficient when driving.
Merle S
on November 6, 2018
It is very comfortable to drive both locally and long distance.
It is a plug in hybrid and it is awesome! I looked at one 2 yrs ago that was a 2013 and bought a truck instead. When it came time to purchase another new/used car I went back to the C-Max and I have no regrets. There is only one thing they forgot and that is a button from the inside to close the door to cover the plug for the plug in. I am always forgetting to close that little door!

That you can only go 20 miles on a full charge and it takes over 8 hours to charge on 110 volt AC.
Like that it uses electricity, dislike that it only goes 20 miles on a full charge
