Flexible, versatile, comfortable family vehicle

Why it’s so hard to make a three-row SUV with good third row legroom AND cargo space, I’ll never know. The Flex hits the mark and is probably the most versatile and practical vehicle I’ve ever owned. Despite its controversial stylings, you can’t beat the interior. It’s very comfortable and usable. Features are great too. Only complaints at 100k miles: 1) It has had interior rattles since we bought with 38k miles on it. They can’t be fixed easily. 2) The infotainment is a little frustrating when it comes to navigation to what you need while driving. For instance, simple tasks like turning on seat warmers or simply viewing interior temp take several steps on screen, which can be distracting while driving. Other than that, it has been the best vehicle we’ve owned aside from a mini van.

2014 flex sel, with 202a. Has been the best car I ever owned, since my 1979 Granada. Smooth, quiet, and runs as it should every time we drive it. 88k on it now, besides regular maintenance it has needed one gasket, and one emissions control valve. It is a pleasure a drive.

Loved the car for three rows to tote the old people on excursions and the dog loves it too.

Rollback

My driveway has a slope in it, so one day I was leaving and forgot something and pulled back in my driveway, , thought I put it in park, the car started rolling back in drive, so I applied the brake, and took my feet off the brake to see why that happened, and it continue to roll out the driveway into the street, with me watching, hoping it would stop and it kept going until I applied the service brake, has this happen to anyone else??
