Favorite features, too Many but we like that it less expensive than many vehicles that we look at for the comfort and what you get is very comfortable seating lots of room not all piled up, excellent handling for as big as it is. So far we love the Flex as much as we did are Ford Windstar.

Another Great Flex

I purchased an 09 Ford FLex Limited in 2009. Made the mistake of trading for 2011 Ford Explorer. Ok car, but wasn't what I had expected. Kept it 2 months, trade back for a 2011 Ford FLex Titanium. Ah, yes, back to my good ole Flex again. My 2009 Flex is the ONLY car that I have ever owned that was problem free. I am confident that my new one will be the same.

Love the Flex

2012 Ford Flex SEL 4dr Wagon (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

We chose the Flex for its interior space, exterior styling, and 4,500 pound towing capacity. We think the red with white roof combination looks stunning. We were concerned that the non-turbo engine would struggle pulling our 3,200 lb. camper in the mountains, but the standard engine has worked just fine -- including a tow through the Eisenhower tunnel at 11,138 feet. Mileage commonly runs around 26 mpg on the highway, and 16 mpg pulling the camper at 60 mph. We love this vehicle.

I bought my Ford Flex in 2012 with 150 miles on it basically out of the box. 257000 miles later I just put brakes on it. I have literally done nothing but change the oil every 4000 miles and this car just continues to run excellent! Depending on how fast I go out on the highway it's close to 25 miles per gallon. It's roomy and you can instantly convert it to 7 passengers and there all regular seats not a bench seat. It has a big nice smooth ride and it handles great and when I need power I just put it down on the floor and it flat gets up and goes! It's excellent in towing and I can pull the biggest trailers with no problem whatsoever! I love the sync system in it which is very easy to integrate your phone to the system. It sits lower than an SUV but higher than a car which makes it easy to get in and out of the car. This Flex was by far the best purchase I've ever made in a vehicle!
