I think I bought this car by mistake. I thought is roomier but it's not, I will switch this car to Honda Odyssey. Reliable. Not!!, huhh...Interior bad...seat really unorganized, only fit for 6 not 7 or 8.

A real sleeper
Comfortable, roomy, well equiped, and smooth. This Flex with its Twin Turbo, Eco-Boost engine and all wheel drive really surprises my car enthusiast friends.

Flexing my muscle
I just recently purchased a used 2011 Ford Flex SEL, I have to tell you that I was s little leery to purchase a Ford. I have to say that this is one the most comfortable vehicle I have driven or been in for that matter. It's a very smooth and solid ride. I really enjoy the Microsoft Sync system, It has the best blue tooth for smart phone ever. If you are looking for a great teenage hauler and do not want a minivan, go test drive the Ford Flex.

2011 Ford Flex Ecoboost
The Flex Limited Ecoboost is a very comfortable car. Great performance and infomatics. Sync and Sirius radio are great. Gas mileage not too bad for a large, AWD, (twin turbo!) crossover - 18 mpg around town, up to 22 mpg highway so far. Twin turbo = cure for mid-life crisis! I shopped a ton of crossovers both large and small - wound up large due to needing room for 3 kids. 6 passenger seating gives up a little utility but adds a lot to an already comfortable second row. In the end, if a V6 was in order the room, comfort and overall package couldn't be beat. A new-to-me low mileage used vehicle made the budget work, too.

Great Ride
Purchased a used (29,000 miles) 2011 Ford Flex SEL creampuff. This is the best car I have ever owned (have had 8). We test drove everything that was out there and kept coming back to the Flex for all it had to offer. This is great car. I have 2 kids and have an 05 Explorer. I wanted more space and more comfort/refinement. The Flex hit the nail on the head. You would be selling youself short not to consider one. I love the way it looks. My wife didn't like the looks at first but now she can't stop admiring what a beautiful car she has.

Perfect fit
After driving several new and used Flex I decided on a previous daily rental. $23k for a car that has 14k miles on it. Full remaining warrenty so all I lost out on was the depreciation of a new vehicle driven off the lot. This model with these options would have been $49k new. I had owned a Scion Xb and wanted a bigger version of that and something that all wheel drive. The milage of the Flex is really the only thing that keeps this from being the perfect car. 23MPG in the hills or around town is a lot different then the 35 I got with the Xb. The Flex is a very solidly built car. The seats are the most comfortable I've ever sat in. Wood trim in the dash and doors looks good. Visibility is very good. I would definetly recommend this car. Haven't been able to get in the snow enough to evaluate that but all reviews I read were positive.

Everything they said it would be.
After doing much research I decided to purchase a Ford Flex Limited. The research showed it to be very quiet, comfortable and roomy. Now that I have first hand experience, I can confirm what the research showed. Purchsed the vehicle used with 11,000 miles on it. After driving it for about 2 months and 2,000 miles, I can not find anything I don't like about it. Ford hit a home run on this one.

Road Warrior Flex
Purchased a Pre-Owned Flex, the car has obviously seen a lot of highway miles judging by the navigation system details. So far we love it. Its very comfortable, the interior is nice, the exterior is great. Just wish the previous owner had taken better care of the tires and the paint job. The trailer hitch should really be standard on a car like this. With such a small trunk and no roof rails, which I can see tht some would find distracting from the exterior stying, the addition of a trailer carrier is a must for long car trips.

Love this vehicle!
We bought this vehicle a a few months ago and have really enjoyed it. The handling is great and the ride is very comfortable. The fold down seats in the third row allow for the dog to get comfortable and extra cargo when needed. One seat can be flat for boxes and the other up for seating if needed. Flipping the seats for tailgate access is fun for the kids. Lots of leg room no matter where one sits, this car is so spacious. My husband is a big guy and it's the first car we've owned that offers him the room he needs. He even enjoys driving now. This car is a great buy for the price. We rarely do highway driving and live in a small community with lots of traffic stops and the gas mileage is 18.3 mpg. If I had any suggestions for Ford it would be to configure the front seat to accommodate a bit more storage.

Wonderful SUV
47,000 miles on an 2009. Not one trouble. Rides as comfortable as a luxury car. Handling is superb especially on ice or snow. Extremely stable on curves. As quiet a car as I've ever been in. Manuvers like a small car but has quite a bit of storage inside and a bunches with the seats down.. Mileage is ok with 21 overall ave with 2/3 on the high way. We'll buy another one.
