darrelld Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) http://www.motortrend.com/oftheyear/car/1301_2013_motor_trend_car_of_the_year_contenders_and_finalists/viewall.html Let's start with how well it drives. Said Floyd, "This car glides over the road in EV mode, wonderfully balanced ride for a top-heavy-looking vehicle. Wind noise and other cabin intrusions are kept to a minimum." MacKenzie added, "Michelin Energy tires mean not much grip, but steering and chassis feel more integrated and controlled than in a Prius." And as Toyota's all-star hybrid is the C-Max's target, the fact that the Ford drives better is a huge selling point. While no barnstormer, the C-Max feels quick.

Jus-A-CMax Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 "It's as if a Ford Focus and Escape had a menage a trois with a Toyota Prius and the best of each made it into the C-Max. It has the Focus' fun-to-drive bones, the Escape's utility, and the Prius' fuel efficiency." :wub2: & ;) However, the Tesla Model S is sensational though, worthy winner of the COTY :drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
