| 2013 Ford C-MAX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| There's plenty of space for adults in the back seat of the C-MAX. But the seat is mounted too low to provide thigh support, and between this and the angle of the floor I could find no comfortable way to position my legs and feet. There's a huge amount of headroom, so this was not the limiting factor. Instead, the seat seems to be so low to enable a flat floor when it is folded without requiring that the seat bottom be folded separately from the seat back. Combine the low seat with a high beltline (bottom of the side windows), and children can't see out well. see full Ford C-MAX review | ||

| 2013 Ford C-MAX Powertrain: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | The C-MAX shares its powertrain with the Fusion Hybrid. Compared to the previous-generation Ford hybrids, the new ones have smaller gasoline engines but more powerful electric motors. A combined output of 188 horsepower isn't much for a 3,640-pound vehicle, but this doesn't consider the instant, low-end torque provided by the relatively large electric motor. In real-world driving, this torque makes the C-MAX feel much more energetic than the specs suggest. Unlike a Prius, it never feels sluggish. The big motor also enables electric-only operation as high as 62 miles-per-hour. Transitions between the two power sources are nearly seamless. Partly because engine noise is well-suppressed, it's not obvious when the gas engine cuts in and out. It also doesn't hurt that the well-programmed planetary gearset-based CVT is much more responsive than Ford's six-speed automatic transmission. Unlike in the Prius, you can't choose between multiple power modes in the C-MAX. You're essentially in "power" mode all the time. see full Ford C-MAX review | |
