First, I thoroughly enjoy my Cmax Hybrid. I pulled up next to a Toyota Prius and really noticed how much higher the seating position is compared to the much lower Prius! I took advice from other Cmax drivers and inflated my tires to 45 PSI....and must always alert the Ford service guys who change my oil to NOT deflate them to the 32 PSI they always seem to do! I finally was able to get my 'CMAX' personal plates this year, but noticed that Hybrid vehicles are now penalized $75 extra on plates....since the states are losing on gas revenue! I never use my wipers after applying 2 coats of Rain X on the windshield. The kids love watching the beads roll up the windshield in the rain! Of course, already applied 2 coats of wax/polish last month to prepare for the cold winter in Wisconsin! The car seems to be an optical illusion in a way. When I see a Cmax on the road, it appears small...however, when sitting in the vehicle it feels so roomy...especially the front seating with a high ceiling and comfortable distance from the passenger. I'm really impressed how I never hit my head getting in and out of the car compared to the sedans I use to drive. (I'm slightly over 6 ft)! I often try to talk to other Cmax drivers and they have always agreed on how they enjoy the car. I plan to keep this vehicle indefinitely. It's economical, it's definitely quicker than other hybrids, it has a high panoramic view of the road, it has incredible/comfortable seating and I never, ever come close to touching the front seat passenger ! I must finally mention the unique ability to haul oversized containers that a sedan could never handle....like lawnmowers, bicycles, large strollers, etc... and a 2 stage/ 24 inch snow thrower I purchased and saved a $60 delivery charge since I was able to fit the 200 lbs container through the rear in my Cmax! I think I impressed the guys that loaded it! Ha! Ha! Anyway, I'm a happy owner! Merry Christmas to all you Cmax owners!

The car was originally designed to compete with the Prius V, which it does very well. Glad you like it! My 6' 8" friend can fit height-wise, although knee room is a bit cramped; his car is normally a Durango..

That's the TARDIS effect. Welcome to the fold; glad you're having fun!
