CARS.COM —  Ford’s boxy, family-hauling Flex is a champ when it comes to road trips or taking half of the softball team to and from practice. Many media outlets have reported that Ford will stop making the wagonlike SUV in 2020. That’s too bad, because many buyers find its generous cargo space and flexibility meets their needs.

Ttheb from Richmond writes:

“I had two Ford Freestyles back to back. What attracted me to the Flex was the similar interior to the Freestyle. I loved the Freestyles and I love the Flex. Had a wee bit of trouble adjusting to the somewhat wider turning radius and the added width, but there are enough safety features through the backup sensors and cross-traffic sensors to put me at ease. Absolutely love the Sync 3 [multimedia] system versus the old, slow, Microsoft-based software.”
