The enjoyment of the c-max hybrid.

The c-max hybrid utilized both gas and electric for fuel which saves money. I enjoy the sync 3 radio which hooks up nicely to my phone. I really enjoy the higher seating compared to a sedan. The back seats lay down flat allowing for greater trunk space. The car has high visibility due to the large windshield.

Ford C MAX hybrid is an excellent vehicle.

The ford C Max is extremely comfortable to drive, it exceeds all of my expectations for a hybrid vehicle. Not only is the pick up fast, but it drives like a sedan with all of the extra room and comfort of a hatchback.

You can get around town without using gasoline by driving a hybrid.

I like that it is a hybrid that we can plug in at home to charge. We rarely buy gas anymore. It has enough of a charge to get me to the store in town and back home without using gasoline, but I like having a gas tank for a backup just in case. I don't have to worry about not making it home. I have no complaints.

Mpg is better than they tell you.

Super great mpg, runs smooth, can sit back and enjoy the ride. Fit easily into all parking spots, can travel long distances on a tank of gas.

Susie M

It saves a lot on gas and you can drive 500 miles on one tank (13 gallons).

Very economic for gas usage, never broke in the almost 2 years I own it. Have carpool tags, so it helps a lot during morning rush hours. Like that I am helping environment. Like the interior of the car.

Worst of all time in the world.

Engine and inside problem all kind issues start acting weird and some time machine could act a lot problem new or old car can be difficult and not same problem sometime new car can be different than old car or sometime have a lot problems with the engine and the gas.

Anita N

Great value for money, American made.

Pretty consistently get over 35 mpg. Lots of space for size. Smooth ride. Love the heated seats. Do not love that there is only one vent in the back. Makes it hard to heat/ cool the car.

It is a plug-in hybrid that gets around 23 miles on a charge.

I love having very good gas mileage. I wish the tires were all-weather tires. It's terrible for maneuvering on winter roads.

James A on March 29, 2021

Minimal cost to operate especially if operating less than 30 miles a day.

Small, energy efficient, perfect for our retirement life. Requires minimal maintenance. Comfortable with plenty of headroom for small vehicle... Hard to list any complaints except that Ford has discontinued producing this model and will not be able to replace when the time comes..
