I am 6'8 and used to have a suburban. I found that the flex has more head room and the same about of leg space of the suburban. I liked the suburban, but found the flex road nicer and the seats to be a little more comfortable. The biggest loss in the flex is cargo room. The other thing that I wish was a little better was fuel mileage and a bigger gas tank. But overall I own two of them and we love them. It is like owning a mini expedition, without the huge costs.

Previous car was a 300 Sedan...which was very low to the ground..like being up for visibility and safety. NEVER owned a Ford before, Flex is the only vehicle that even appealed to me...I must say so far I'm pretty happy. Fuel economy not the greatest and the engine seems a bit small for the large body..but haven't tried to climb any mountains yet. More technology than I will ever use. Missing that refrigerated console that was discontinued but extremely roomy and the Multi Vista Sun Roof is really desirable.

7 seat car has a very nice interior. 3rd row has a great head space even for adults. Highway ride is very smooth, extremely quiet and comfortable. AWD is a must option. It is not a Sporty SUV, but it has comparable clearance. It will go through snow where minivan will get stuck.

This car is spacious! It does drive and ride like a car and not a truck--which is great because we don't need 8 inches of ground clearance like other SUV/crossovers. There is ample shoulder, hip, and leg room up front and in the 2nd row. Visibility is great. The steering wheel controls are not intuitive like some other vehicles, but having configurable screens is nice in the gauge cluster. The touch screen is responsive and pretty easy to use. One complaint I have is the sluggish feeling of the transmission. You really have to dip into the throttle for it to kick down, and it will typically have to kick down 2 gears to find the powerband. The turbo engine would not have that problem.
