I had wanted a Ford Flex since they first came to the market. I loved how different they were to everything else on the road today. More importantly, the Flex had a retro look and feel. I am a nut for station wagons and had not had one since I was a kid. I really was drawn to the boxy look of the car. I have read that previous reviews called the Flex a rolling refrigerator and I said that's just what I want. This is the first brand new car I have owned, and I ordered it from a Ford dealership. I built out the spec sheet to my exact specifications. I was so excited and tracked my car being built along the way.

The car is very solid feeling, and I really like the interior finishes. The seats are very comfortable and supportive. I like the number of ways that the seat can be adjusted to fit each drive. My wife and I are much different in height, and the memory seat function makes changing drivers very easy. The ride of the car is extremely quiet and smooth. We have had no trouble using the infotainment and navigation system. They both seem to be easy to use and reliable. We have two children who regularly ride in the back seat area, and they have plenty of room and are comfortable. We have been able to have up to six adults in the car for short drives, and they have been comfortable as well. We made the addition of a trailer hitch, and it carries all four of our bicycles with ease. The power folding seat and power rear hatch have also been very nice. All in all, we have been very happy with the versatility of this vehicle.
