First leg done, Abq to Seattle, the c-max is a great car to take a trip in, Drives smooth and is easy to handle, We did 1500 miles in two days, no sweat. Now for the not so good, Had strong head winds the first day, lots of mountain roads, plus carrying a Yakima cargo box on the roof loaded with luggage, guessing 65 lbs, The MPG was 31.5, I was hoping for a little more than that but, that's the best it could do. Still have another 2000 miles to go on this trip, will keep posting, the next few days will be short local trips so the mpg should be better. Later,

Heading out for a 3000 mile trip in the C-Max today, have been averaging 40mpg in the mountains of NM, I hope it does that good on the trip. Check engine light came on yesterday, had the dealer check it. Seems the fuel filler cap sensor detected a fault. No problems to fix this time. Will post again with the trip mpg. Added Cargo container pictures, Have drove the C-Max for two days with the container, no wind noise or buffeting on the road, might have lost 1mpg due to more drag.

Great choice we just love ours.

Kind of a Light Blue/Green Metallic with clearcoat, looks nice. If you looking for one, the ford dealer in Santa Fe called me today and said he had just recieved 2 of them A white and grey. Plus they seem to have lots of them in Denver,Co But I had already bought mine Wed.

Hi, Everyone, Just bought the first Ford C-Max, SEL, Ice Storm, Charcoal, Sunroof, in Albuquerque area from Rich Ford Edgewood, NM. Our dealer gave us a great deal and I would recommend them to everyone. We drove a Mercury Marnier Hybrid for 3 years and it was a great car, but the C-Max is much better, Ford has fixed all of the little quirks in the C-Max, larger and better seats, more cockpit room, seamless switching between engine and battery power, better mpg, more horsepower, great handling and ride. My wife and drive up to 200 miles a day through the mountains east of Albuquerque and we really give our cars a workout. The C-Max is proving it’s value averaging over 40 mpg, twice as good as our previous car. Thanks to everyone’s comments in this forum, your input was very helpful.
