I've owned this 2014 FLEX SEL for 2 months and have driven over 2600 miles. It continues to be what I expected, a solid, good handling, reliable vehicle that carries 7 people for short trips or 4 and too much luggage for longer trips. We average over 22 MPG on the road. It's more comfortable, handles better, and carries more than it's GM competitors, Buick Enclave and Chevy Traverse.

Although my wife thought the Flex was ugly, I convinced her to consider it along with the GMC Acadia in our shopping for a 3-row seating SUV. Once she drove it she was convinced the looks were not enough to keep us from buying one. She was not expecting to like it that much. I was impressed with the EcoBoost engine performance, the strong brakes, and very good ride and handling. It blew away the Acadia once we had taken test drives in both. The price of the EcoBoost AWD Flex is also very competitive with that of the Acadia Denali AWD.

I traded I my Mercedes r350 for my 2014 limited w/eco boost Ford Flex and all in all I'm glad I did. While the Mercedes was solid as a tank, The ford flex styling is much more me. It's deceiving in that it looks like some slow mom/pop car but when I pull up to a red light and a luxury vehicle tries to out gun me, they are quickly left mouth open in my 365 horsepower dust. This mom/pop car is pretty fast - and I love it. I love the color too, it's a unique white diamond tri coat (it's somewhat sparkly in the sun) and has a black roof. Very unique, although mini-cooper and Range Rover make a similar combination. Actually looking at it from the front the flex could pass as a Range Rover.
Great Vehicle

I wanted a Flex and my wife talked me into the Explorer after driving the Explorer for 9 months we both agreed we did not like it. Uncomfortable and just not pleased with the vehicle. We went back to the dealer they were able to work a deal to get us out of the Explorer and into the Flex. Could not be happier. I love the way this vehicle rides and handles. We use a car service in Florida for airport transportation and that is what the driver uses which is why I wanted the Flex my wife had a hard time getting over the box look. I have had the vehicle for 2 years still happy with it although I understand that 2016 will be te last year for the vehicle which disappoints me. It is a fund car to drive and I hope to have it for a long time. Still happy and glad to see Ford is bringing out a 2019 model This is my every day car about 8 months of the year I travel between here and a home in Florida where I have a 2014 Escape which I also like very much

Little Wagon That Can

If you have kids, or are a do-it-yourselfer you will find this vehicle is meets your needs. Plenty of room, the back seats fold down to allow 12-foot lumber to be loaded. Groceries are no problem and I can even put four gas cans to fill up at the gas station. Ride is incredible, very smooth, quiet, and handling is exceptional. The turning radius is not great but is manageable. The Flex looks like a wagon that it is but is great at so many things I have it give it a five-star overall rating. If you plan to travel with kids make sure you get the DVD player for the back seat. The kids can watch movies or even play video games. Safety features are very good although I wish my model had the adaptive cruise control that is on my 2017 Ford Fusion. I can't say enough about this little wagon that can! Update 02/27/2019: I still own the vehicle but haven't driven it much since I also own a Ford Fusion Hybrid. The Flex is much easier to get in and out of and it is one of the best riding vehicles I have ever owned. When I purchase my next Flex (never certain when Ford will stop producing) I want the technology upgrade that my Ford Fusion has: the updated SYNC system, lane departure, adaptive cruise control, adaptive headlights, heated steering wheel and front-end collision warning. As I get older I find these technologies really help. Because of its versatility, good gas mileage, and exceptional driving and riding comfort (even the rear seats are cozy and comfortable), I still highly recommend this car. I do not use the third row seats and instead use that area for storage. Update 8/27/2019. I purchased a new 2019 Limited Flex and it has most of the safety features I had on my Fusion. The only safety feature it lacks is the front-end collision warning, which I really miss. This feature is especially handy when I am parking in a retailer's parking lot. It prevents me from getting too close to the vehicle in front of me but not so far away the back of my Flex is sticking out. 08/30/2020 Update: I moved to a smaller place with a smaller garage so I traded in my Flex. I miss the roominess, comfort, and ease of entrance and exit. I keep bumping my head on my new, smaller vehicle. I also miss the ability to carry supplies from the hardware and big box stores for my unending renovations to my home. I highly recommend the Flex, you will not regret your purchase.
