Our Ford Flex has filled the needs we had. We have three kids, but refuse to drive a minivan. The flexibility of the interior of our Flex was perfect. We were able to get captains chairs in the second row, and a bench seat in the rear. But this wasn't just for the kids. The ecoboost V6 makes this little Flex a rocket. Acceleration is very responsive. The interior seats are literally the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in. They are wide bottomed, very supple leather. The heated seat feature is a bonus in the winter. The ride of the flex is superior to any other vehicle I have owned. It is very smooth, quiet, and responsive. It hugs turns with very minimal body roll for a longer vehicle.
