Buying the 2016 Ford C-MAX
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2016 Ford C-MAX; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page puts the 2016 Ford C-MAX in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the C-MAX
NHTSA has 56 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, back over prevention and unknown or other. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder hybrid with front-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
At 6.1 L/100 km combined, it is easy on fuel: about 18 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $28.38 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the C-MAX
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
How big it is
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA lists 680 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
If the C-MAX is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the C-MAX for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$1,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $9.46 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $94.60 at our price setting.
