zeitgeist57 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 My wife and I have been looking at kiddie-wagons, since the 2005 Caravan we have has over 130k miles on it. We've driven Odysseys, Siennas, GM minivans, GMC Acadia, etc etc etc... I'm in Cleveland for the weekend, visiting family. Stopped by Mullinax Ford because my wife mentioned going to check out the Ford Flex. We're both smitten. Soooo nice, and we didn't even drive the Ecoboost model! Any recommendations out there? Good/bad opinions on the thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Never driven one, but I've heard good things, GET THE ECOBOOST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Brian Carter has one Pretty sure he has an Edge.... But +1 to an ecoboost Flex, sexy brick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Is it still being made? Thought unheard it was being chopped from the line up? I reserve the right to be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 They are very large on the inside. Bigger than the suburban as far as people room is concerned. And they have huge amounts of headroom even for me. Cool vehicle. Much better alternative to a suburban and minivan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I drove one the other day they are sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchy chan Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 they are cool, i liked the ford freestyle/taurus x's, too...i felt they drove more like a car than a mini van when i borrowed one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick-n-Columbus Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I have the Lincoln version, the MKT and love it. Get the EcoBoost, you'll love it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohones Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I work @ a Ford Dealer, these vehicles are superb. Been working here for 6 mos only, talked to custs in service getting oil changes etc, they luv this vehicle - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangsn95gt Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 +1 get the ecoboost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 If I find an Ecoboost, it's at least $30k since they are all MY 2010...can't afford that right now. Wifey is kinda sick of the freebie van we have...If I can convince her to wait a couple of years we'd be good. It's either buy a loaded SEL now, or wait a year or so to get an Ecoboost SEL or Limited...or Titanium??? BTW, Ford guys...let this be a tribute to Ford from a die-hard Chevy Truck/Corvette guy: My wife and I are very impressed with Ford and looking forward to buying one now.

armin922 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 yeah go ford. Great lineup of automobiles out right now!! I wish i still had a ford. I like the new explorers. Anyways, the flex is awesome and +1 for ecoboost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Eck. I didn't even know what a Ford Flex was...I don't think there will ever be a point in my life where I would want to consider something like that. It looks like an ugly crossover IMO.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Lincoln leads all brands in JD power 2011 vehicle dependability study. Ford is a stone's throw behind and still better than the industry average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
