We did not want a minivan
My first Ford. We bought the car in February. So, far we love it. Very roomy, comfortable ride. Great on the high way. With two young boys, I can imagine a better car. Perfect alternative to a minivan. I was surprised by interior quality (much improved over the years). I like the Sync, works pretty good. You can tell it can still use some refinement. We also looked at: Odyssey, Honda Pilot, Sienna.

Ford's hidden secret
Bought my Ford Flex (company demonstrator) in April and could not be more pleased. Ford is missing the boat by not advertising this fine vehichle. I have had two Lincoln Towncars and this is very comparable in ride, comfort, and performance. Gets interesting comments from passersby like "what kind of car IS that?" and "I thought that was a Cadillac at first." I also own a Chrysler 300 (2006) but prefer driving the Flex.

I drove them all ...
I researched crossovers for a year before making my purchase. I finally narrowed it down to the Ford Flex and the Buick Enclave/Chevy Traverse. The Flex just drives so much better. It is roomier and the whole family loves it. The Sync and voice activation is far and above anything you get with the Enclave. It can carry 8 adults quite comfortably ... and my kids and clients love the Vista Roof and Ambient lighting. I love the exterior ... but can understand some folks thinking it is too boxy or station wagon looking. I don't think either of those descriptions is accurate. People definatley look at it when you drive by. I like that! I feel incredibly safe in this vehicle and it is not so big that I can't park it easily. I am so thrilled with it and would recommend it highly. Ford did a diservice not advertising this car more!

Excellent crossover SUV!
We love styling of our 09 Flex Limited FWD. With 55k miles, it is still trouble free. Highway mileage is 27-28 mpg, but dips to 18-19 in the city (average is usually around 21). One whish would be ECOBOOST...

Love the room and great for families!
We've really enjoyed our car since we bought it a few months ago. We can carry the entire family and extra friends or family. Plus, the pick-up is great for a car this size. The seats are easily manipulated and there's still plenty of cargo room even with the third-row in use. Just wish I had saved more and gotten the model with the automatic back gate lift/close.

Unusual but GREAT car
I have owned my Flex since April and have enjoyed every minute of riding in it. I have a 2006 Chrysler 300 as well but prefer the ride of the Flex. It is a much quieter and softer ride. The performance has been great. Have only had to return to the dealer for minor corrections (i.e. seat latch not working properly in folding seat and air vents not staying open) which were corrected immediately. Don't know why Ford does not advertise this car more. Gets neat comments from admirers.

Love this car!
We bought our Ford Flex 3 months ago and couldn't be happier. I feel like I'm driving a luxury car with all the bells & whistles. It's very roomy with it's 3rd row...I don't miss my minivan one bit! We shopped the Enclave and Acadia as well....and for the money, you get so much more than those other models for a better price! Equipped with Microsoft SYNC....what a cool feature....my car responds to my voice commands....call home, play a certain song on my iPod, tell navigation where I want to go, etc, ...and boom...it does it!

Retro-style Wagon
Retro styling, amazing features, high mpg's, and more space than a factory warehouse, the Ford Flex is a cool and functional way to transport seven people in style. The Flex proves one thing once and for all; it's hip to be square.

Flex Rocks
This is the best vehicle we have owned, it is hard to believe that it is also the fasted, no let the size fool you, the Flex's V-6 growls like a V-8 and effortlessly powers this 7 passenger vehicle. This vehicle is worth every penny!
