I thought my 2013 C-MAX would be a Prius Killer? Ford’s “47MPG” marketing campaign tarnished what should have been the roll-out of a truly remarkable vehicle, the CMAX. Maybe it was the rush to go to market? My mileage in the Prius is 50-plus, the Insight is 40-plus. As a returning Ford buyer I feel deceived.
