stevedebi Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I am a 2005 Prius owner considering a 2013 CMax Hybrid. After reading this forum I am not sure if I shouldn't look for a newer Prius. If the battery issue was solved, I would definitely go for the CMax.JimI have not seen any reports of problems with the 2015, and few with the 2014, in either the C-Max or C-Max Energi forums. I think they have solved the basic issues. Of course, and individual car may have a problem not related to design, but that is true of any vehicle. I'd certainly shop both and see which one fits your needs, without worrying about the battery. But really, the two vehicles are pretty different. The Prius seems more oriented to MPG, and hence is lighter and drives that way. The C-Max is oriented to good gas mileage if driven right, but with more solid ride and comfort - completely different design concepts, and appropriate for different folks. I would not expect the same ride from the Prius and I would not expect the same MPG from a C-Max. Jus-A-CMax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
