Thanks for the clarification of the QC rebate, I was told by a fellow journalist in QC that it was $8000. I'll modify.My tester is also on winter tires.... Michelin x-ice, probably would get better mileage if it was on the OEM tires.

I wonder how it will fair against the current crop of CUVs we would consider, which include, in no order of importance the Renegade, HR-V, and Crosstrek. This doesn't have AWD, but if it performs well in our Canadian winters, then perhaps that's moot.and within less than a year this vehicle will have another director competitor with the all new dedicated hybrid the Kia Niro. No robbed cargo area for this one.I am surprised it took this long before the Korea fanboys showed up I guess you must be ashamed of what you own as you don't list it

No robbed cargo area for this one.The Niro is pictured is just a hybrid, not a plug-in. The regular C-Max Hybrid has a pretty useable trunk.

wish to see more of such body style car to be sold in canada... like the matrix...Off topic.... why am i missing some article listed in the weekly newsletter email? Tuesday supposes to have 'First Drive: 2017 Audi A4 Allroad, by Jonathan Yarkony', today supposes to have '2017 Dodge Durango, by Jonathan Yarkony'
This car certainly is very eco friendly. This little guy approves.
I like this car, but Consumer Reports rates the reliability as 'worse than average', which would stop me from buying one.

Not much room for facts, just general questions. I've had mine for 6 months and it's a real kick to drive. Had a 2013 Focus before and it was reliable even though it had the transmission woes we all hear about. Biggest beef with feedback to the likes of CR has been Sync and MFT/MLT. I have used that for about 4 yeas now and it works great for me. Much easier to use than the Toyota system in my Lexus. The 2016 CMax has the newer version, which I've not used, but is reportedly better. So if Sync/MFT is CRs biggest beef with the car, not a viable reason for passing on it.

JasDmw, can the C-Max pull a small utility trailer?
Can the back seats fold at all in this car?
