  • Real Solid Vehicle - 2009 Ford Flex
    By -

    With two young kids and a few more nieces/nephews we can carry/haul all we really want to with this car. So far the car has been a delight to own. We feel very safe riding/driving in it. Id recommend (with one stipulation - see improvements) it to anyone. All-in-all though it really is a good solid vehicle.

  • This is a well built vehicle. - 2009 Ford Flex
    By -

    I have owned my FWD Limited for three weeks now but have already put 1500 miles on it. I traded my 2002 530 BMW for this vehicle because I wanted a vehicle that that had more rear leg room for the kids and the sports stuff they need to haul around. The first time I got behind the wheel it was like, I cant believe this is a Ford, the fit and finish is first class and it is quieter than my old BMW. The interior space is limo like, no more kids complaining about leg room. The vista roof is awsome but I will miss using my roof top cargo carrier( no roof rails with the large glass panels, if you are traveling with more than four, there is not much room behind the third seat. Highy recommend

  • From a Mini Van to a FLEX - 2009 Ford Flex
    By -

    This is the first American Car I have ever purchased and I am tickled Flex! I traded a Toyota Sienna Mini Van & have never looked back. The only thing I thought I *might miss are the sliding doors but it turns out the Flex doors are so wide its easy enough for the kiddos to get in and out. People stop and ask me about it wherever I go because there arent many out there. I def think the white roof on colored body makes it! This purchase was supposed to be for my hubby and yet in the end, I won. He loves it so much that we are thinking about buying a second Flex with a few less options. There is not one thing that I dont like about this car.

  • This is a great way to go - 2009 Ford Flex
    By -

    Very nicely laid out interior. very Spacious with easy entry and exit from all seats. Even my mother in-law (a very large woman) said it was easy to get into and out of the passenger seat and the second row. Did not attempt the third row thankfully. Decent acceleration and stopping is also good. This is not a race car after all but a family transporter so set your expectations correctly and you wont be disappointed. The sound and video systems are excellent! Usually do not even consider a Ford. I am converted.

  • Lovin It - 2009 Ford Flex
    By -

    The week after we bought our solid silver Flex we took a 4,000 mile road trip. Had many chances to check fuel economy with the cruise control on and came up with these numbers: 80 mph - 23 mpg; 70 mph - 24 mpg; 60 mph - 28+ mpg. Very pleased! The ride is really comfortable except (as others have noted) the head rests tilt forward. I experienced the same thing when we test drove an 09 Pilot. I talked my husband into this car - hes 63", Im 50" and we both love driving it. Plenty of cargo space (musician hauling keyboards & amps). Cant answer as to reliability yet, but this replaces our 99 Explorer that had 175k miles on it. I dont expect anything less from the Flex

  • Ford Flex is Outstanding! - 2009 Ford Flex
    By -

    What a very pleasant surprise from Ford. We chose after a test ride and paid $29,800 out the door. Second and third row legroom is very strong. Vehicle tracks perfectly straight on highway! Safety for rollover on an SUV has to be tops with this car, as center of gravity is lower. Cant believe how much this auto has won us over. Ford is definitely heading in the right direction. Very proud we dropped Mercedes and saved $60,000.

    Although I still drive my 96 Windstar daily for work (229,000 miles) the Flex is for weekend and pleasure use for now. Ford has outdone themselves and can compete with the imports with the Flex. The ride is exceptional and the interior room is huge. I am averaging about 25.5 mpg on the road. I do not live in a congested area so gas mileage should be good for me.

  • Love at first sight? Not really, but... - 2009 Ford Flex
    By -

    A solid home run from Ford Motor Company. When I first saw pictures of the Flex, I didnt get it. It was polarizing. But that was the genius the designers were going for. You either loved it, or hated it. Initially I was stuck right in the middle i.e. dont love it, but dont hate it either. But the more I saw the vehicle, it started to grow on me. Then I had an opportunity to ride in one, boy did my feelings change immediately! From that point forward it was , I want one. So I bought one. Turns out to be one of the best purchase decision Ive ever made. What a fabulous vehicle. Dont believe me? Drive one.

  • Fords Come-Back Vehicle - 2009 Ford Flex
    By -

    All I have to say is wow. I love this car. never thought I would buy a Ford vehicle. I went to the dealership to look at the vehicle and test drive it. It was the first vehicle I looked at. From that moment I had to have it. I have had Mercedes, VW, and Honda in the past. This car drives as nice as the Mercedes did. Ford you did good.

  • LUV THAT FLEXIBILITY - 2009 Ford Flex
    By -

    I purchased the flex, because I needed room for my mothers wheelchair, the dog and myself. Couldnt be happier and proud of an American vehicle. Go Ford and go American.
