Great hybrid car to drive and save money and good for environment.
I love my ford c max. It is hybrid so the gas mileage is awesome. I get about 400 miles with a tank of gas. I like it that it is higher up from the ground and it is easier for me to get in and out of the vehicle. It drives smooth and has had so mechanical issues since I bought it over a year ago. It is compact but good leg room for front and back. It is a hatchback style and the trunk space is a bit small however you can fold down the back seat to make more room is you need to load more or larger items. The only thing I do not like about this car is the turning radius. Otherwise, I love it and it is too bad ford discontinued it.

All about the cmax and it is drive.
I love my car it is small and compact. I do not like the fact that I get less out of the hybrid portion when going to and from work I use just as much gas as before. I wish it had remote start. It drives very smoothly. It is very comfortable to drive but very sensitive brakes.

Comfortable, economical and practical.
It is a very economical, comfortable vehicle with a large luggage compartment. Fit 5 people perfectly. Simple design, a great car for city and highway. The company is reliable the value of the vehicle is compatible with what it offers. It's worth the investment.

Gas mileage is seriously amazing.
It is performance is very good, it is very good with gas mileage. I have never had too many issues with it other than it locking me out a couple of times and it wouldn't even open with the replacement key. Besides that issue, we’ve had it for a while now and it is really treated my husband and I well.

Nice overall car, if you do not need a lot of trunk space.
I like the fact that I get the first 18 miles or so battery powered. I wish though that it lasted longer. The tires for some reason are very noisy. Not sure why. Trunk space is small but adequate for me. Overall good dependable vehicle. Not sure if I would purchase this vehicle again, but would consider if battery life was longer.

The great gas mileage, never had a car go so far on a tank of fuel!
It's a hybrid gas/electric that gets great gas mileage. Being disabled it's easy for me to get in and out of. I wish the dual climate control worked better though!

Love everything about my c-max energi.
This car has been really great since I bought it six months ago. I have not had any issues at all. The car has some really awesome features such as heated seats, color changing interior lights, and came with a portable charger that can be plugged into any outdoor outlet.

C-max looks and battery sizes.
It is the best on gas and there is a lot of room in the inside of the car. It is not the best in the snow but it does climb a nice size hill to my house though. The only problem that I have with the car is the charging system and the battery size in the trunk. It is really big.

Beware the failing battery
Buyer beware: The Ford HV battery warranty is a fraud. Ford will not replace the HV battery unless it totally dies. So you can kiss the 20 miles per charge good by after 30,000 mi. The warranty's" fine print says the "battery may degrade" - which translates to "we won't replace it as long as your car runs"! This warranty is a FRAUD. No need to pay for a plug-in hybrid, it won't be long before you are driving a straight hybrid. Ford want $13K to replace the faulty battery - more than the car is worth! Lots of luck. A nice car devalued by a manufacturer who cares not about its customers!

Family friendly and great on gas.
The only problem I have is the Bluetooth disconnects randomly when driving. The car does great on gas. It's a great size for kids, the car seat fits with no problem.

I like that it is half electric. I wish the charge would go further. It would be nice to use less gas.
It is Eco-friendly by being half electric, half gas.

Great car! Amazing gas mileage, comfy seats, durable!
I do enjoy this car. The gas mileage on the c-max is incredible! I have had this car for about 4 years and the mpg is about 50. I have had issues with the radio not being able to turn off, etc., but they are generally easy fixes. This car is durable with a great turning radius and extremely spacious on the inside. The seats are comfortable and adjustable in three different ways (height, distance from pedals, and the slant of the back side).

C max road warrior designed for ease and comfort.
Comfortable and quiet with good power and reasonable gas mileage for a hybrid. The no interest 72 month loan was key to the purchase. Low road noise great smart computer and solid sound system round out the advantages. The lack of a GPS compatible with cell phone a problem.

It is a hybrid and that means it leaves a small energy footprint on the planet.
Our car is a reliable, economical hybrid. We chose it because it would be dependable and importantly, a hybrid. The red color is a bonus. Our car performs well and is a reasonable size for us.

Great small car with lots of space and great gas mileage.
It gets great gas mileage. It has lots of space for a smaller car. The Bluetooth is very convenient. I can listen to music, make and receive calls and listen to text messages. Everything is automatic. The computer system is slow. There is a delay when playing audio. The wipers are very slow and have stopped working occasionally.

C-max hybrid is great for a small family!!
I love this vehicle. It is the perfect size for my fiancé and our two dogs, one small and one medium sized. It takes about 26 bucks to fill the tank and a full tank normally lasts about 2 weeks. It is very comfortable and very smooth. When you turn the car on you cannot even hear the engine! It is so quiet! The battery charges super easily, in fact it even has a little "game" you can do to help with braking to charge the battery! So far it is been very reliable!
Barbara H
on November 18, 2020
This is a very reliable and gas efficient car.
I have found the vehicle to be very reliable. I have only done routine maintenance on the car. My gas mileage averages about 44/gallon. The car is comfortable enough. The only thing that bothers me is the glove compartment which has space between the shelves and the cover so everything slides off the shelf. Same with the rear storage. The hatch is not flush with the floor of the cargo area so items get between it and the hatch and fall out on the ground when you open it.
Jack K
on November 15, 2020
A typical hybrid with good mpg.
I personally prefer a truck or a car with more power to it. Now given that the c-max is a hybrid it is not going to shine in that field. So my biggest ‘complaint’ with the car is that is that it lacks in hp. The very real problem, however, is the trunk space. I really does not have a lot of storage room and you'd likely only be able to fit one sizable suitcase for example and that could be a problem for people who travel a lot. Other than that, the car has great mpg, leg room, head space etc.

Fuel efficiency without sacrificing zip.
I love my c-max hybrid because it gets great mileage when not using the electric battery and is even more efficient when using the battery. I also like that it has enough pick-up and speed to perform like a 'normal car'. The heated leather seats and parktronic senses are also nice. I enjoy the Bluetooth connectivity for listening to podcasts and answering the phone hands-free.

We love our cmax. We are buying a second one for our teenage driver.
It is the most fun car to drive. Even though we expected it to be “standard” it is actually very easy and fun to drive. We went from a Yukon to this, and our gas bill is less than 25% of what it was before. It is great with the hov lane sticker. Have had zero problems with it.
Gretchen H
on November 8, 2020
Perfect combination of fuel efficiency, size, and Drivability.
The c-max has a perfect balance between smallish size, fuel efficiency, and cargo space. It also has good acceleration when needed. I wish the turn radius was a little tighter, but I have no other complaints about my vehicle. I wish ford still made them.
Kristina L

My vehicle is a tan colored car and it is the best.
My vehicle is great. It is a gas saver and so it only takes about $25 to fill up the whole thing! Its performance is great and so far had my vehicle for about 1/2 a year and it has no problems. If you want a car that is reliable, a gas saver, can get you to far distances, this is your car. Disclaimer is that this is a small car and so the backspace for groceries or big objects is limited.
Kristi B
on October 10, 2020
The height inside the vehicle is wonderful for a tall driver or passenger.
The c-max is a wonderful vehicle. The height inside the car is perfect for a tall person. Hitting your head when getting into the vehicle is not an issue in this car. The battery life has worked well for long commutes to work. We love this car for long trips as well. It is a great vehicle.

Best road tripping partner.
I love my car! I like to thrift and go to estate sales and have found that my car holds a surprising amount of stuff. I even fit a huge chair in the back! It gets great gas mileage, too and is great for road trips. I wish charging it was more worth it, though. The charge just does not last very long.

Seat warmers are terrific.
Very comfortable with plenty of get up and go. Details are not great with trim issues and seat belt problems. Gas mileage is fair for a hybrid at 40 mpg. Overall very comfortable and easy to drive. The technology is good but not great. Turning radius is poor. Overall I would recommend this vehicle.
Larry H
on August 11, 2020
Plug in gets me around town.
I like the look and feel of the car. For an electric plugin hybrid, it has the power that I need. It only gets (at most) 20 miles on electricity, and that depends on driving conditions and the temperature outside. I have not had any problems with the car. I had to make some minor repairs when I got it due to it being used, but all good since.

Great inexpensive hybrid with lots of cargo room.
I just purchased this car and so far no issues. I love that it is a hybrid which gets about 45 miles to the gallon. It is a hatchback with fold down back seats. I have 3 little dogs and love to take road trips. This car has plenty of room for us and if we ever needed to sleep in the car it is pretty roomy.

Ford c max has a spacious rear area.
My car is a c-max hybrid. It gets good gas mileage. It has a spacious rear area with fold down rear seats to bring home bulky things that I would otherwise have to have delivered. For instance I can bring home several bags of mulch in the spring and a medium sized tree at Christmas.

The greatest vehicle of my lifetime
My vehicle works really well I have had no problem with it. I love the way it runs. It's got good power and great speed. It has great mileage and a really perfectly loud stereo system. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone and everyone. It has been the greatest experience being able to drive a ford vehicle

Amazing car, affordable and environmentally-friendly.
The c-max is a great size car. It is compact, but fits people and stuff. It is quiet and I love that it is environmentally friendly. It is very comfortable and easy to use/drive. It is reliable and does not take a lot of gas to fill up. I love the backup camera and the map features. It has a great Bluetooth that connects to my phone.

Very convenient and money saving
Comfortable car. I only need to buy gas about once a month. I like the convenience of having both electrical and gas. This is the second C Max I have owned and I have been very happy with it. I use it mostly for errands and every day driving. There is no extra electricity cost.
Gail S

It's spacious for a small car and handles very well.
It feels like a big car getting in and out, sits higher than most cars, very comfortable and this is coming from someone that drove vans for over 30 years. We love the gas mileage. It's also flat towable to pull behind our motor home.

My c-max with sunroof ( ).
No problems with this vehicle, over 45000 miles - great mileage and plenty of pep. This may be the perfect marriage of gasoline and electric propulsion (no gears as we used to have) the appointments are luxury all the way: navigation system, premium sound, leather seats, express up and down windows... Who could ask for anything more?
Janet S
on March 23, 2020
By far you get the greatest gas mileage that is around to my knowledge.
It is the best thing for gas mileage, get between 46 and 69 miles per gallon. Really bought it for the easiness to get in and out of. Could be a little more sound proof.
Beau M

My c-max experience, likes and dislikes.
The gas mileage is really great. It is the primary reason I purchased the car. I have a hatchback, so it is very roomy and comfortable. It is on the smaller side, though, so I cannot fit very much in the car. I enjoy the auto sensors and back video camera display. There’s auto-park, which is insanely convenient.
Sarah L

There are secret compartments in the trunk and below the floors!
I love the fact that my car gets great gas mileage. It is almost as big as an SUV and I can haul a large amount of items. It's extremely quiet for night time driving.
Katie B

It gets fantastic gas mileage!
I like the size and height, as well as the gas mileage I get. I wish the bottom of the car was a bit taller for getting through snow, and I am not a huge fan of the touchscreen - I feel they promote distracted driving.

Ford C-max hybrid - The perfect option for gas or electric driving
I love this car because it is an electric hybrid. I can go about 20 miles on an electric charge which is perfect for errands. However, if I want to take a road trip I can go about 450 miles. The car automatically and seamlessly switches from electric to gas. I like how I sit 'up' in this car (I am short) and feel good about reducing my carbon footprint. It is easy enough to put down the back seat and I can fit an impressive amount of stuff in the car when I do so.

C-max energi combines electric and gas, so I can plug the car in to charge.
The engine blew up after a year, but the ford service has been great in fixing things. Love the hybrid aspect since it is a c-max energi. Very comfortable and the touch screen aspect is good. Just wish it had a back camera instead of sensors. The look is good, as well.
Bob M

Gas mileage is amazing. A fill up is only about $40 for over 500 miles.
Nice looking, plenty of room, great gas mileage, and plenty of power. First 25 miles, when fully charged, is all electric and after that the car re-charges when breaking or not using gas pedal (coasting).

Good 2016 ford hybrid for the price.
I really like my ford, I love that it is a hybrid so I feel like I am helping the environment. I also love how I can always count on it to get me where I am going. I got it in 2018 used and it has never failed me. The only thing that I would change is I didn't love the cheap feel of the interior.
Jennifer G

Best car ever! Would recommend to anyone.
Ever since I got my car I have not had any problems with it! It's great and very sensitive and has a lot of power behind it.It's very good on gas. Extremely powerful. I love it! I would definitely recommend this beautiful car to any and everyone it's the best car I have ever had. It's so spacious. However the trunk space is a little limited but other than that the car is great. The leather heated seats are the best feature in my opinion.
Tiffany M

Perfect first car for a teen.
Sunroof gets stuck sometimes, but reliability is 100%. Comfortable. Saves a lot of gas and would be a great beginner car. Has push to start, heated seats, rear view camera. Even judges your braking pattern. Everytime you brake, it gives you a percentage out of 100 of how good of a stop it was. At the end, you’ll get a final score. Almost like a game.

2016 c-max a pleasure to own.
My 2016 ford c-max hybrid has been wonderful. Reliably gets 40+ mpg in combined city/highway driving. Best reading I have had was nearly 45 mpg. Spacious, practical, and comfortable. Ride is quite nice, relatively quiet. Plenty of power is available if needed to zip onto the freeway or pass somebody. I really like the braking as well, stops with confidence and stability. I bought mine virtually new (less than 10,000 miles) and have put approximately 25,000 miles on it. Planning on driving it until it croaks!

Very quiet in garage. Note, I-25 speeds gas motor engages above 47 mph.
Our driving does not yield very high miles per gallon. Typical is around forty(40) miles per gallon. Too much I-25 driving, maybe. Really good back seats, good upright feel and head room. Heat and air seem to be enough. Good visuality from all seats. Worried about main battery lifespan!??

Ford c-max: highs and lows.
I love my Ford c-max. The only thing is space is a little small in the front and the trunk. When you charge it, you only get about 20 miles of it before it switches to gas. Luckily I do not drive very far each day so not too big of a deal for me. We have a little one and it is fine for the 3 of us but when we have another baby we will definitely need to upgrade to something more spacious. The interior is very nice. I love the leather seats and the music system. Overall a great car.
Nancy C

It's wonderful gas mileage. Because it's a hybrid, on the average I get over 40 miles per gallon.

It is a hybrid so runs on battery which. Does not need to be plugged in.
I like the energy efficiency of this vehicle. It is a hybrid and we only fill the gas tank every other week. It is comfortable to ride in for long distances. It has plenty of cargo capacity for when we take trips. We have had no maintenance issues and it is easy to get service for routine maintenance at a nearby Ford dealership.

Good car, great actually so yeah.
It is really good in the snow, the four wheel drive is fantastic. The seats are very comfortable to sit on and enough for my whole family of six! The Bluetooth is great, it just handles really well! The engine and oil seems to be really great as well, never an issue.
Joe T
on February 25, 2019
If you drive only relatively short distances and have a place to charge your car, you can go for months at a time without buying gasoline while always having the option to fall back on gasoline if the hybrid battery is depleted.
I currently am averaging 125.6 mpg in just over slightly more than 18,000 miles driven. This is because my C-Max is a plug in hybrid. In the future, I will buy only a car that is either a plug in hybrid or totally electric. I have not purchased any gasoline since December 2017.
Charles R
on February 1, 2019
Great gas mileage and comfort also.
My car is a hybrid it has regenerative charging. I can go as fast as 85 mph when on ev mode. It as navigation and several information screens you can modify for your needs. The cargo space is really good and the back seat fold forward and flat so you can really carry a lot.
Matthew P

The reverse sensors on the car are temperamental and go off far to early.
I've had the car for over 3 years now and I've had no major issues with it. However the rubber seals around the doors where coming away. Probably the result of sitting in prolonged heat for too long... Gorilla glue fixed it though. Everything else seems to be alright though.
SYDNEY L
on December 16, 2018
The purchase I could have made as a first adult car
It's the smoothest and quietest car. I fill up on gas every month in a half at the most. The car encourages smart driving because it shows the percentage of fuel efficiency from a brake or acceleration. It's larger than it looks and there's plenty of foot room and trunk space.

It's a hybrid and I rarely have to get gas, and it's a cute hatchback.
I like that it's a hybrid and gets really good mileage. I don't like that the doors are so low that it's impossible to park next to a curb without scraping the door when you open it. It has poor pick up. I like the navigation interface.
Ashley C
on December 1, 2018
Fast, roomy, easy on the wallet at the gas station.
For a hybrid it is fast! Love that I can drive back and forth from home to work and still not have to fill up the tank but every 7-9 days. I drive about 50 miles total a day. I have the sel and love all the extra features, heated leather seats, panoramic roof, ambient interior lights, GPS, Sirius radio, CD player, USB connection, and hands free phone connection. Myself and husband are 6 ft tall and 6'4 and we have plenty of head room and leg room. We have two giant car seats in the back and our tall kids have good legroom as well. Having the hatchback gives us extra storage space so we can pack for a long trip and even weekend camping trips. We prefer taking the c-max because of the great gas/electric mileage for most trips and quick errands. Imagine getting to your destination 7 hours away and not needing to fill the tank until it is time to leave.
Alex K

The sel highly competitive with newer cars. This is a great car overall.
I love everything about this car. Test drive a lot of cars before buying this one. When you hit the gas it moves no hesitation. Getting on the freeway is a breeze. Never had any mechanical problems. I am the original owner of this car and have driven it cross country, over the mountains many times. Still looks like new. The sel has all things that still make it competitive with newer cars.
