  • Great Ride! - 2009 Ford Flex
    By -

    My new Ford Flex is turning heads while driving down the street. It is vey roomy inside and is a great package for our family of five. MPG is better than the Expedition we used to drive. The Sync technology is great, gauges are clear and easy to use. Overall a winner in my opinion.

  • Have a family without needing a minivan - 2009 Ford Flex
    By -

    My wife and I are expecting our third child, and with a dog in tow we needed to get a bigger vehicle than our VW Passat Wagon. We looked at the Routan but something about the Flex caught my eye. Its different, kind of a retro look with modern amenities--so basically it felt like us. So far, so good, it drives very nicely. One of the things I like best is how quiet it is, road noise isnt very present. Our kids really love it, and the automatic seat folding in the second row make it super easy for third row egress. Definitely roomy, smooth ride, SYNC is awesome, satellite radio 2 yr sub, panoramic sun roof...all in all a great experience so far.

  • Best Car I have ever owned! - 2009 Ford Flex
    By -

    This car is incredible! Drive experience so comfortable you dont really care about getting to your destination! The real surprise- my fuel economy has been a solid 21.5 mpg driving 90% city 10% highway. This car hauls large items well. I put an 8ft potted tree in the back in front of several skeptical on-lookers. I have had not one problem with this car and it was delivered with 0 defects. Warning: if you drive one, youll want one!

  • Shockingly pleasant to drive!!!!!!!! - 2009 Ford Flex
    By -

    I went from a GM minivan to this Flex. What a difference! Not that I didnt like my old Montana Van. It was just that my mechanic had it more than me! The first time I seen a Flex I laughed and thought what a weird looking car! Then I sat in it.... I knew then I was going to have to find something terribly wrong with it to convince myself that it wasnt the one to buy. So I took it for a test drive. Fortunately I was able to take it overnight to test the headlights out too. I do alot of night driving and the headlights are very important for me. To make a long story short, I tested over 11 crossovers/suvs from 4 manufacturers, and the Flexs ride, fit and finish, and style was the best!

  • I love it - 2009 Ford Flex

    Ford Flex rides as smooth as a luxury vehicle. Interior is thoughtfully appointed and the electronics are fantastic. I love Sync, Sirius, and travel link. Blows my friends away when i demonstrate it.

  • My new Ford Flex - 2009 Ford Flex
    By -

    I am very impressed with all aspects of my red Ford Flex SEL. It is very roomy and the quality is outstanding. My only cons on this vehicle is that I find my front seat headrests to be very uncomfortable and that the two second row captain chairs need armrests. The sync radio with bluetooth hands free cell phone features are a real plus. I can not get over how many people have asked to see my car and how many heads it turns when being driven. It is hard to believe that the dimensions on this roomy vehicle is almost identical to my 2005 Ford Freestyle. I am getting better than 20 miles to the gallon so far in mixed driving conditions.

  • Never thought Id own a Ford - 2009 Ford Flex
    By -

    I wasnt convinced on Ford cars/trucks or SUVs so I did my homework and Ford is comparable to Toyota and Honda as far as reliability. I love how the style is unique and different. I get excited knowing there arent that many of them on the road. We took a road trip the day after purchasing the Flex and it was so much fun discovering all the cool things the car has to offer. It is a lot of fun to drive and its great that my husband wants to drive my car now!

  • Happy Customer - 2009 Ford Flex
    By -

    This car is great, we searched high and low and we found nothing that had as much style, comfort and interior size. Beyond all that it is very cool, incredible retro look, great sound system and well designed nav/data system. I have already had the misfortune of being in an accident, I was smashed almost head on by a VW. The other car was destroyed and I barely felt anything. I was stunned at how hard a hit this car took (the police officer was very impressed) and I was still able to (sadly) drive it to the shop. We are not easy to please but the Flex did what Audi, Volvo and Honda were unable to do - make us very happy customers!

  • Great Choice! - 2009 Ford Flex

    I LOVE my Flex! We looked at a lot of crossovers and the Flex beat them all by far. The options are wonderful!
