Update for our Cmax. We now have over 58,000 miles no problems for the last 2 yr or so. Just normal maintenance, oil changes, filters etc Still running on the original tires although I will have to replace them before winter this year. Everything is working as it should. Our Cmax is a daily driver usually 60 to 100 miles, we live out in the mountains east of Albuquerque and work in ABQ. So back and forth Monday to Friday. Lifetime MPG is 41.9

Sorry it took so long to reply to this post, I selected the 128 q post by reviewing the cars that it did fit, and then comparing the roof line contour to the C-Max, the q128 seems to be the best and it worked well, I had to do several re-adjustments to find the best fit. but it worked perfect in the end. Also getting a solid 42mpg in winter driving here in New Mexico, this car has saved me a lot of money on gas.

Fresh update on our CMax, Took the car in for the new powertrain update, this is the one that let's you drive up to 85mph in EV. Since we have a 40 mile drive downhill to work in the mornings. I thought this would be a interesting test. We were averaging 39mpg round trip before the update. After the update we are up to 45mpg. The downhill trip shows 60 to 70 mpg and the uphill coming home runs about 44mpg, big improvment for us. Thanks Ford! I don't know what the update number is, we just got a letter saying to take it in to the dealer, it took him about 3 hours to do the update and so far no problems with anything, our total mileage is just over 30K and we have been driving the car about 10 months

update at 28K, our C-Max is still doing great, the wife is beginning to like the car, she mentioned the other day that it drives nice, she being a truck girl. Had the software update installed last month, it took the dealer 2 days to figure out how to do it and then he did not have the right chip to do the install, had the chip overnighted to the dealer and he had it fixed the next day, we like the new features, temp on the display and easy Bluetooth hookup, plus separate music and phone.

Glad to hear you like you C-Max, I love ours, the wife didn't think to much of it to start, too small she said, she likes trucks, but after 28K, she mentions the other day that it is nice to drive. She has a 40 mile drive one way to work through the mountains here in New Mexico, We avg 39.7 but have a lot of up and down to drive. It is a SEL and has the pano which I like, makes the car feel much more open. No problems with the car except the computer upgrade last month, took the dealership 2 days to figure out how to do it and then they did not have the chip they needed, the upgrade changes are nice be sure to get them.

thanks for the update, still driving my c-max daily, avg as settled in at 39 to 40, we drive about 120 miles a day, up and down the canyon freeway, Maybe it would do better with a flat route, but we don't have that option. anyway we are happy to get 40, it is better than the 15 mpg that the GX56 got. LOL

Same here, clock is off random amounts of time, has happened about 4 times now.

Just ready to turn 10K on my C-Max. We are running a steady 37-38 in 20' degree weather. 80% highway, 65 to 75. It was doing around 40 untill the weather turned colder. FYI Did have a strange glitch the other day. Drove into town about 35 miles. Parked for a couple of hours, when I came out and started the car, the engine took off running wide open. Shut it off started it again same thing. I finnally realized that I had the heater turned way up. (engine runs when you turn the heater up, right) turned the heater off and it started and ran normal. No other problems, except the seat heaters are really hot even on low.

I agree, anything higher than 1 is too hot, I have a ford truck and the heated seats are just perfect on it, But the C-Max will burn you up. LOL

LOL, yeah you know how everything ends up in the glove box, of course you can't stuff much in this one.

My wife wanted me to post this comment on the glove box, she says that anything you put in the glove box just falls out when you open it. Plus it is so far under the dash you can't see what is in there, she ends up taking everything out just to find what she wants. Since no one is happy if she is not happy. This is not a good thing! So--- Ford Please fix the glove box, redsign it and make it a retro kit to all of the C-Max's already on the street LOL. Anybody else have this experience??????

Now have 7500 miles on the car, The mileage is finally getting better. Our usual daily trip of 100miles + is now up to 39 to 40 mpg. I see 50mpg + going into town (downhill) and 33 coming home (all uphill). This is 70% freeway 70mph + and 30mpg in the city. I was sort of happy at 33mpg, but I like 40 a lot better. not using any special driving techniques to get this mileage. Current weather conditions are daytime highs in the 50s and nighttime lows in the 30s. Maybe it will do better in the summer. Starting to see lots of C-Max's on the streets in town.

FYI I have a 2012 F350 which had to be in the dealers shop 3 times in the first 3 weeks after I bought it. Seems the sensors in the DEF tank did not work, The dealer finally installed the latest software update, no problems since, Now has 18K not a single issue. My C-Max now has 6500K, the only problem has been the fuel filler warning which the dealer fixed in about 10 minutes. No other problems.

Having owned a Mercury Mariner Hybrid for 3years/120,000miles then regretting selling it. The C-Max looked to me, like a great car and it is. Bought a SEL just over a month ago, 5,600miles already and it is better than the Mariner hybrid in every way, you will not be sorry if you buy one. I like all of the features that Ford put into the car, rain sensing wipers, one push, roll up/down windows, etc.

Thanks for the snow driving update, I am interested in hearing how the c-max does on icy patches on snow covered freeways, We do a lot of mountain driving in the winter. (northern New Mexico) The roads are cleared but lots of slush and slick spots, any update you can provide would be appreciated.
