I work at Donway Ford, and the Flex's are badass. Pretty nice cars, and I am not a Ford guy at all- but youve gotta get the Limited with navi, projectors, etc. The rear passenger seating area has little wedges that velcro to the mats so you have a foot rest like on a plane, and there automatic flip up seats for the 3rd row accessability, etc. 2 tvs, its like a tall station wagon. crossover i guess........ theres way more ****tier cars out there, so whoever started this thread needs to ease lol.

the reviewes have been good so far so I'm a bit at ease LOL. Time will tell if it delivers or not ... If this vehicle is really as good as the reviews are, ford shudve done this years ago. They have a reputation issue IMO.

nothing is in place...its cheap inside out...the suspension is wobbly wtf....the brake handle feels like a hammer rod, seat height adjustment controls feel like hard rubber....immense body roll while turning. trunk is so hard to pull open even though its remote release.
tranny is smooth and the car pulls decently though beyond 3K.
overall not impressed. cant wait to get my si back.

I have built the interior of the "flex" for the last 8 mths.
I have built the suspension/fuel system and the exterior prior to that.
In all honesty...judge a car by it's SEATS.
This crossover is JUNK!
If it was good I might still have my job instead of being laid off.
But honestly if some1 is over 275lbs and purchases 1.... GOOD LUCK!
The seats will come apart on you.... I have built the seats on all trim levels... from welding the frame to putting the cover on that says "Dealer Must remove"
They also made some 10,000 seats which had the fabric held on by zip ties and an operator pushing random holes into the fabric....
Honestly stay away from this one!
I’m going to be working on the next version of the Flex the Lincoln.... and I think it will be the same thing! The engineers @ Detroit all felt stupid when I implemented a better design... I doubt they took my advice for the next version lol.
