Nice looking video, RIDICULOUS that [a] the stupid copy writer mistakenly calls it a V8 with V6 fuel economy when in fact it's a V6 with V8 power... and that [b] the voice dude doesn't catch it either... yeah, real car guys are putting this together. Knobheads!
I can do just as good in my Hemi Charger for gas mileage (if I don't drive like a jackass) Not that impressed..It looks pretty cool though. Tons of room interior wise
16 mpg city for that vehicle is damn impressive, given that a current Subaru Impreza WRX STI with a four-cylinder single turbocharged engine gets from 16-18 city depending on your driving. Way to go ford!
Ya I really like the bold look of the flex, and LOVE the engine. However 16/22 doesn't seem that great to me, I guess I'm used to 25+ vehicles that are also fast. Seriously Ford, put that powerplant in a sport tuned, lightened fusion....
This report is showing what a 7 passenger vehicle can do with a pretty peppy v-6 engine. I think the fuel economy is amazing for a 7 passenger turbo charged SUV. How many people fit in a smart car? TWO? ok, so the Smart Car gets 33 mpg in the city and the Flex gets 16. See? this is math.....judging by some of the comments here, math is not your forte and I am not talking about the kia.
3 more things...prices START at just north of $42K?.....OUCH!...and the cheapo plastic paddle shifters?...and the ride height was lowered 10mm...let that sink in...1/10 of a centimeter....Is that REALLY worth touting?....Heck, run it on bald tires and it'll ride another 10mm lower too....derr
I stand corrected. okay, so I guess it is nearly 2/5ths of an inch lower?....Now ya got me questioning even THAT!) is that really such a big feature that it warrants mention in a video?...I dunno maybe it is...
LOL at :32 the Fire Breathing V8 !!!!!!!! LOL Uhhh it's a 3.5 V6 not a V8. I'm not trying to jump on you, I just think it's funny. Imagine if the Ecoboost Flex had the 5.4 V8 from the Shebly GT500. That would be ridicoulous :)
still ugly, great engine won't change that

Looks like a cool car! But that was pretty irresponsible and dangerous passing on a curve across double yellow lines.

A charger is a 5 seater, way less interior room. Different category. And you could get get 25 mpg in a mustang.

BTW, 16 mpg city in a crate THIS BIG, with AWD, and can hustle down the road too is pretty good.
rawsketch 2 years ago 5
your right, but the fuel tank is even to smal for such mpg. And think about chevy: 2010 Tahoe/Burbans got 15/21 in awd. i expect more from ford.

I wanna know what V6 is getting a (combined 16) [which is what the mags are getting]... mpg.
Plus, this isn't port fuel, its direct injection, and it's not a fire breathing V8... tards.

The Flex S.H.O. LOL that's funny. You got very lucky that you didn't get a tickect for passing over a solid double line at 1:45
