2009 Ford Flex SEL AWD

Pros

Superb handling, bright & spacious interior, comfortable seating, multiple storage options, lovely

Cons

Wish it came with the option of cooled seats like the Lincolns offer.

Purchased As New

Our family couldn't be happier with this vehicle. We purchased our Flex with the multi-panel vista roof and each of us appreciates the bright interior this feature provides. We've found in the past that bigger vehicles are typically quite dark inside especially the far rear seating but not the Flex, it's nice and bright even on rainy days. We appreciate that. It's amazing how much head room this vehicle has. Entering and exiting is well thought out as even our fathers do not have difficulty getting in and out of the Flex as they did in other vehicles we've driven. Plus, the theater-like seating allows us to comfortably talk to each other yet driver visibility is not impacted in the slightest. The power folding feature of the second row seating makes it very easy to enter and exit the far rear seating. It's great that the button is easy for the passengers to reach in the back so they can exit without any difficulties or needing assistance from anyone else. We purchased built in headrest DVD players and this provides a nice quiet ride on long trips with wireless headphones and the ability for the kids to watch their own movies/play their own games. Plus, it's nice to not have the obstruction of a center DVD player in the rear view mirror. We were surprised at how comfortable and spacious even the far rear seating is as my husband is 6'3 and doesn't have any problems with leg room or head clearance. We opted not to have a console in the second row seating and it allows us ease of movement throughout the vehicle even with passengers in both seats. We've transported many different types of items in this vehicle because of the multiple ways we can adjust the folding seats including the front passenger seat. Clearly, everything was well thought out in the design and engineering of this vehicle. We think Flex stands for flexibility as this vehicle offers a ton of options and drives extremely well. Thanks to everyone at Ford Motor Company for this wonderful vehicle as our family couldn't be happier!...read morehide

Pros

Lots of room, very smooth ride, very well equiped vehicle, high quality of fit and finish

Cons

A little underpowered on hills when fully loaded with passengers but not a big deal.

After having 4 Dodge Caravans over the last 20 years the Flex was a welcomed change. Really a wonderful design that will give Mini Van owner some fuel for thought. Very roomy inside and practical. The ride is as comfortable as any vehicle I have driven. Great out of the box styling (no pun intended) which makes the interior very functional. The fit, finish and quality inside and out is outstanding. Love this vehicle. First Ford I have ever owned and if this is a preview of what's to come, go out and buy Ford Stock as they will be the premier US auto company....read morehide

Pros

Rides like a CADILAC, Very tight, fabuouls finished, 100% Comfort, MEDIA center that rivals comptuer

Cons

NONE

This car is very unique. I would say, this is the best car I have ever driven. It doesn't drive like a mini van, or an suv. It is very sold and no slouch on the road. The car turns heads everywhere I go. I think this is one of the best products on the road as far as style, comfort, ride, practicality, MPG and function....read morehide

Great job Ford. We love this Car/SUV/Van. The AWD works very well in bad weather we ran into on the first trip we took last weekend. Every were we go it get the looks and people love it. The quality of this vehcile is at the top. Fit and finish is great. No issue with the A/C works well. Handles like a sport car with a Lincoln ride....read morehide
