I love the Ford Flex's layout and features. It seats seven people, so with four kids, it is amazingly roomy. It also has a built-in DVD player in the back. Along with color-changeable light settings in the back, lights in the front cup-holders, and the front floor boards make it not-too-much of an uncool, mom car. The downfall comes with the actual maintenance of the car. I have bought around 15 tires in the last two years, because they are constantly blowing out or getting damaged and needing aired up. My husband and I don't do excessive or reckless driving in it, so I don't know what that is about. The brake systems also act weird occasionally. Just changed them eight months ago and now I need to go in to get the actual fuel lines looked at.

The car is loaded with amazing features, and it is extremely comfortable for my whole family. It is a great driving vehicle, and it is fun to drive overall. The car has had a lot of problems since purchasing it. Our engine and A/C fans both went out, so the car would overheat. Then we started having issues with the transmission which was fixed with a computer update. So far, this car has cost me the most in repairs and maintenance in the almost three years we have owned it. While it is a very nice car and it works well for our family, it has been a money pit with one problem after another.
