I have a fam of 5, we live at 9000 ft on top of a mountain in Colorado with switchbacks an heavy winters, I commute 30 min each way to work and live on a very tight budget. I have had over a dozen vehicles in the last 15 years, as I seem to have the devils luck in cars. This Flex has been my lifesaver. Regular maintenance, the occasional windshield replacement (living in The Rockies does that), and switching 20"rain tires for 18" snow tires has been my only costs in 2 years, purchased used at 98k, now has almost 150k (we road trip a lot too). Plus we have the EcoBoost which has saved our lives countless times living on the hwy and gas mileage is pretty dang decent. Update: sadly at the beginning of the year something failed in my turbo, which then ended up blowing the engine while I still over several thousand on it. :( I still miss my Flex though. I would get another if I could afford it, but I would definitely take it in for checkups more often.

I bought my flex used in 2019. Had just a tick under 100k miles when bought and I have had it now for 6 years and it's just under 140k miles on it. It's the Limited trim with the Ecoboost. The fuel efficiency is legitimately my only complaint on this vehicle. It's way under the EPA estimates in practice for me. Other than that, this car is an all star. The ecoboost provides SUPRISING power and acceleration. Great handling and there is a ton of cargo room in the back. The SYNC system is kind of cumbersome, but it functions. Too bad they discontinued the Flexes as this has really been one of my favorite vehicles I've ever owned to date.

The car has 135,000 miles on it. The interior is a light tan leather and with the dark colored weather tech mats added for the preserving of this vehicle, I very much take pride when I get behind the wheel of my Ford flex. The exterior is the light green shade. The best color as everyone says.
