I did quite a bit of research on this vehicle before I ever set foot on a car lot. I looked at everything from the safety ratings to the general maintenance. I knew this was what I wanted. It has great safety ratings, which is important to me because I'm driving my 1 year old daughter around in it. It is stylish, sleek, different from other vehicles on the market, good fuel economy, comfortable seats, quiet and smooth ride and tons of room! The general maintenance is pretty easy and affordable. We have already taken it on several road trips and it is very comfortable. Plus we had room for bags for 4 people, a stroller, toys, and tons of presents on the way back! I love the air vents in each row of seats. I can have it cool up front and I can have it warmer in the back for my daughter. I love that the seats lay down all the way up to the front. I am a funeral director and if I ever needed to, I could pick up my clients in the back! It's really a multipurpose vehicle! I would definitely recommend this vehicle to people looking for a family vehicle. It's great!

When I went to the car dealership, I had full intentions of buying another SUV, Maybe it was nostalgia for the station wagons I grew up with, but my eyes were immediately drawn to the flex. I'm six feet tall so I loved the roominess and comfort of the driving seat, better yet I have two teen age boys who cannot sit next to each other without fighting and the flex had a third row of seats. Love the fact that the two back rows can go down, for those times you need to carry stuff home from home Depot. The flex is very easy getting in and out of. It's not to low to the ground so its comparable to a full size car with entering and exiting. My short and elderly family members love the fact they don't have to climb up to get in and out. If a bunch of us are going out we can fit 8 people in the car. My kids love the fact that there are rear controls for heater and AC. It doesn't seem to be a real popular car, don't think ford has ever really advertised that much so its rare to see on the road another one, This translates into very easy to spot in a parking lot! Now the flex won't win any awards for being pretty on the inside its more a family car where kids get muddy shoes on the floor and yes the occasional French fry or spilt drink. I do get a lot of people asking about the car when I'm in parking lots etc.

We bought our 2009 Ford Flex in 2009 so we were the one and only drivers of our vehicle. I have one son and lots of nephews and nieces which was a major factor in choosing our vehicle. Let me tell you that this was the smartest purchase we have made in a while. It runs very smoothly, and you don't even know that you are going over the speed limit most of the time. It's comfortable and roomy. I am 5'6 and I have a nephew who is over 6 feet tall and we both can fit comfortably in the third row! We've only ever had to use our warranty once when our heater was making a funny noise but other than that it worked and is still working perfectly.
