Consumer Reports Initial Impression

It makes me laught how the auto journalists don't know what to call the C-Max. I've seen it referred to as a tall Focus, high roofed sedan, micro-van, van, wagon, cross over wagon, cross over suv, etc. Though I am shocked that Consumer Reports gave it an overall positive review. They've always been very critical of Ford and particularly the MyFord Touch system. All I know is that after almost two months and 2600 miles I still love this car! Gas mileage has been creeping up and is now averaging 41.5mpg.

Glad to hear mileage is going up. I have about 750 miles on only my first tank of gas (Dealer filled it when I got it. Delivery of about 350 miles for a dealer swap to get my SEL without any other options.) I head from Chicago to Boston for a week and we will see how the mileage does. Learned to easily get 30 to 32 on my 2008 Mariner Hybrid. Hope this one gets close to the EPA ratings.
