Bought my Ruby Red Flex Limited new in 2013 and it is my favorite of all the cars I have ever owned, almost equal to my 1995 Ford T-Bird. It has been an awesome car with no issues after 68k miles. Was originally going to look at the Explorer until I saw the Flex and fell in love. I like having a car that stands out from others. I love the panoramic vista sunroof, navigation works great as does My Sync. Love the touchscreen as so easy to use. Love the large seats, which is hard to find as most are narrow and short. When people get in my Flex they are shocked at how nice it is and how quiet and smooth the ride is. They always want me to drive when we go somewhere. The Sony stereo with 12 speakers and subwoofer is AWESOME! My husband can hear and feel when I have arrived home! I personally LOVE the boxy look! Have looked at new cars and NOTHING compares. Getting worried since the Flex will be discontinued soon, and thinking I'll have to buy the last year model they make. I really think Ford made a huge mistake in the way they marketed the Flex, as it could have been a big hit.

Absolutely love this 2013 Flex!!Only sorry we didn't switch from a full sized truck sooner. Thought we needed the truck for its ability to haul, etc., but the Flex is satisfying that need. Gets better gas mileage, and the costs of operation aren't a stress to our budget.

The perfect small family hauler

Our 2013 Ford Flex SEL with equipment group 202A has been an excellent family vehicle. Purchased used 6 years ago with about 45k miles, it now has 194k. Our unit features leather seating with middle row captain's chairs and center console. With older, tall children (2 at 6'4"), the cavernous space in the middle row was a deciding factor, as was the easy to clean leather interior and rolling comfort. The third row is spacious enough for children and small adults, even for long hauls. Its split seat configuration allows for seating for 1 plus additional storage if needed, which sometimes we used for our 90 pound doodle. With the third row seats up, there is ample storage in the deep well at the rear. The factory tow hitch provided additional options for tow hitch storage and light towing, both of which we have done on numerous occasions. Our unit was a FWD only model and it handled Iowa winter snows with ease. What we love: ample power, spacious interior, solid electronics/entertainment package, comfortable ride, flexible interior configurations, blind spot detection backup camera, and tow hitch. It pulls up to the 2,000 lb tow limit with ease. Very comfortable vehicle for long trips. What we did not love: in-town gas mileage of around 16 mpg, info screen takes a while to change from screen to screen, bluetooth microphone placement only catches driver's voice, low towing capacity (we wish it had more), and braking. (Brakes worked fine, but needed frequent replacement due to the weight of the vehicle. Repairs: our unit has a recurring issue with the driver's side sway bar link. It comes loose and rattles. It's been replaced 4 times over the course of our ownership. The shocks and struts were shot at 90k miles and needed replacement. The brakes wear quickly due to the weight of the vehicle. Sometimes they would warp under heavy braking at highway speeds. An upgrade to cross-drilled rotors seemed to help. The fuel pump died at around 130k miles. We've had to replace the passenger side heating/cooling vent door actuator (motor that opens and closes ducts behind the dashboard). The car definitely rides and handles better with higher quality tires. We have loved our Flex and been impressed with Ford's quality. We are nearing the point of doing suspension maintenance again, and trying to decide between putting the money into this Flex or buying another one. Aside from maintaining the wearable components, it seems like it is still going strong. Highly recommend the Flex to anyone looking for a comfortable ride, spacious interior and flexible seating/cargo options.

I was looking or a larger car yet didn't want a sit up high SUV. I liked these when they first came out yet was hessitant so waited a few years and I am glad I did. It glides real smooth when driving it has great handling and turning radius. Not hard to park. The eco boost is awesome. It gets up and goes when you hit the peddle. Great for long hauls and short hauls. Highway and back roads with all the curves. I have over 3,000 miles on it and can't complain. Teenagers and friends fit in fine. can carry 4 dogs 4 adults and some with no problem. If you want a minivan look at this first. Has all wheel drive too.
