ok, i've seen names been called on this guy. ONE thing he did got it so right, is the information display with blue color at center and greenish to side. YES, it will drives me crazy as well if I had to look at it too long. I guess, if I decided to get Flex, then the first thing to do is go to Best Buy and have that changed.
god, get over the colors..... its a nice American car that's decently priced, and my opinion is that its nicer than most imports, i like chevys more but i would buy this if i had to.....
U Are Just Hatin On Ford Mr.Joe Wiesenfelder who takes a look at the 2009 Ford Flex. And Um Lls...Bhutt Uu Didnt Even Take Alook at it Uu Complained About Ever little Flaw That Uu Seen...One Sorry Excuse For A Man
why doesn't this fuckin douche nozzle just get back in his Honda Odessy and fuck off! Why don't you go eat a dick in your mormon assault vehicle and stay the fuck away from cool shit like this, you pathetic fuck head!
cool is american cars from before 1980 ish not bad copies of rangerover sports with the dissadvantages of a 4x4 (big brick on wheels) but without the advantages of a normal car, its like a horrible out of proportion van, but to each their own I supppose, I personally hate nearly all new cars, cheap plastic american ones especially.
I find the the 3rd row is the only one I've been comfortable in that can actually fit adults. The simply put, the Flex has the most legroom of ANY crossover/suv I have ever been in.
i like the car i got mine has the ecoboost and i have already driven it to colorado from california then to oregen then back to cali it was great for traveling even the 110volt outlet in the second row the kids were occupied the whole time
Other than for some reason looking at this vehicle i have the sudden urge to head to the bathroom and vomit.
I especially like the adjustable lights on the cupholder. I'm just curious whos idea and for what purpose was this done? If it was a Dodge Neon, I can see a little purpose. It however, is bascially a minivan.
All these people saying that the guy in the video did a shitty review, if you all did reviews there will be just as many haters saying you did shitty review(s)! Lol Karma baby karma.
As for the car, it's a Ford. Never driving one because I hate going to see a mechanic.
I agree. THE one good thing about having a Ford, is that they break so often that you can always find a mechanic that is familiar with them. Never have to take it back to the dealer for a raping after warranty expires...
why would someone buy this car? the names of these american cars are hideous. flex? lmao. just save up more more and get the actual range rover sport or mercedes ml. because this car isnt worth the money considering the front grille looks so cheap and looks like its going to fall off. its shit just get a junky kia sportage for like what 15-20 thousand?
well, for one the name is taken from a FLEX fuel Ethanol, that this lame SUV wannabe doesn't even run on!...I'm not making this up..The capless gas fill hole has E85 (ethanol) logos with the international crossed out slash all over it, to make sure no one puts flex fuel in a car they foolishly called flex! derr...Ford Marketing pukes score another ZERO!
Dont listen to this review. It is, like many cars(dot)com reviews on domestic vehicles, not a fair representation of the vehicle. Kelly Blue Books review is miles ahead of this review and goes more indepth with the car. Cars isnt one of the best reviews out there imo. In fact they are pretty bad in my opinon. The reviews are shorter than most, concentrate on unimportant features of the car and frankly are just negative when they review anything american. Furthermore.......
many popular features on the car werent mentioned like the navigation system, ford sync, dvd system, and even though it wasnt avalible at the time the ecoboost engine was in the works so it should have been mentioned. And for those who copmplain about resale value go to kelly blue books review. You will be suprised when you find out it and its cevy counterpart the traverse have better resale values than the foreign competition.
drive him crazy everytime he looks at the colors not matching!?!?!?! this car is awesome and hes complaining about fucking lights not matching!?!?!? THIS GUY IS A RETARTED GAY and i could make a better review right now and i will.
Glad to see that Ford brought back the Woody Station Wagon!
This guys is nitpicking this thing as if the Flex was competing directly with the BMW X6 or the Audi Q7. The vehicle appears to be a reasonably priced alternative to a minivan or a mid-large SUV. Its obviously not the luxury vehicle that this guy was expecting it to be. Perhaps if ford were to release the flex in a lincoln version, then he could make and argument.
I am glad to see everyone agrees this reviewer is retarded. Also, doesn't the title say quick drive??? Did I miss that in the 3 minutes and 40 seconds he thought was adequite to sum up this vehicle?
They don't seem to have sold a lot of these, but maybe the styling is just too "controvertial." Ford needs to take Ralph Gilles from Chrysler. He designed the 300C, 09 Ram, and 200C. That guy knows how to make a hell of a good looking vehicle. Anyway, I still like the Flex.
they've sold 10,972 (as of May 1) in the US in less than 4 months of production. that makes it the third-lowest selling Ford (only ahead of the Expedition and Taurus X). sooo, yeah, sales aren't that good. but neither are sales of the cars you mention. in fact, the Chryslers of your examples are all being outsold currently by Ford's counterparts. in April, for example, the Taurus outsold the 300 by a mark of 3,097 units to 2,946. F-Series outsold the Ram 28,757 to 17,903.
This guy really has no idea of how to review a car. He says um to much, pauses too often, says his opinion on every thing rather than an accumulation of everyone's thoughts. This car is very nice. At the beginning when he was talking about releasing the car after there have been 4 other models, who doesn't do that? After the first truck there were many more. If they only made one car and then every other company thought it to be stupid to make another version of that, we wouldnt have any cars.
thanks for everyone sayin what i was thinkin lol... i saw the car in person and i was like WOW WTF I LIKE IT... never heard of it lol...
and the car i saw had rims on it, it was black, it was nice, the car this fag picked was a basic model, every base model car sucks or not suck but isnt as nice as the luxury version.
i actually want one in 2010 and the 2010 mustang. im workin on it lol
I agree with you guys he is looking at every little TI NY detail, I mean why would a 40 year old male be sitting in the back seat. and who cares about plastic and green lettering, that shows that the car is so good that he had to look at the little things to make the review worth it, I DON'T OWN A FLEX
I hate this review, nit picks at every little thing about the platics. I've sat in Chevy's Hondas, Toyotas and they all have hard plastics where you don't need soft touch (by the mirrors?). The Flex's interior is best in class from livability, usiability and quality.
Sorry but the price makes it a non-starter. I might pay 20 for this but nothing close to 30 much less the ridiculous 45X max price...totally laughable wet dream at these prices.
ah com'on the flex is so much better, your best bet is checking it out for yourslef....joe made it sound like a piece of crap.....but let me tell you something its way better in person
Agreed. He makes a big fuckin deal over it not having a telescopic steering wheel! WTF? He has all the room in the fucking world, yet he's gotta bitch over a US car. You can tell that he's a pussy and that he's a typical Toyota or Honda owner. Those cars have plastic dashes too, a-hole. Type of pussy I walk away from at a party in mid fucking sentence. When I come across pussies like this guy Joe and realize he doesn't follow sports, he drives a pussy Honda, it's like get the fuck away asswipe.
@colderbeer Uu Should Ov Told His Ass To Wait For The 2010 Or 2011 To Come Out Or If Nhott Make Ur Own Damn Car That Fits Ur Damn Style Of Body And Custom adjustments......Ford Is Doing Very Well Now With Their Unique Style Ov A Crossover And Ilike It Itrade My 2010 Escalade Esv in For This Its Cheaper And A More Efficient Vehicle...
Does Flex fuel get better or worse mileage in general? How can I tell if there is a Flex fuel gas station in my area, and can this car run on regular fuel if there is no flex fuel nearby?
The car is a Ford Flex, not exactly sure why they named it that because I was thinking the same exact thing when I first saw/heard of it, thinking that it ran on flex fuel, which it doesn't. It runs on regular gasoline.
dude, honestly you are a total jack ass, seriously the most annoying commentator, other than a couple honest observations, u are so annoying. please please please, get someone else to review these vehicles, this guy is so sooo annoying.
You kno wat this guy need to shut the hell up who cares how u want the steering wheel closer seriously move the seat closer also i dont give a damn that the display has blue letters on the side and green in the middle if that drives you crazy then mutha fucka dont look at it then
Yeah. Me too. Just as soon as my employer finishes tricking the government into bailing their inept management team (temporarily) out, and I get my $100K bribe to go work somewhere else, I'm gonna get me one of these sweet rides too. Good thing too, because none of my friends really WANT to work for an auto company anyway. Send all that crap work to indonesia, and china. Good riddance.
Before you buy a Ford or invest on Ford, consider this quote:
"In the next nine months, we will introduce nine new products plus two new hybrids, which together account for 45% of our volume in 2009," said Jim Farley, Ford group vice president of marketing and communications, in a statement.
Doing some quick math, if 45%(the new cars) of their pitiful 130K monthly unit in 2008 goes like the Flex did in the last 4 months, Ford's sales will be:
If you take away the 5000 units needed to put just one of these cars on a ford lot, it yields true sales of only 4000 units nationwide! Each dealer only sold 1/2 of a Flex in the entire month!) GULP!
What happened to the target of annualized sales of 100K units (8.3K/mon. or close to 2 units sold per dealer/mon.) No wonder Ford shit-canned the Chief Design Engineer Gresens two months ago...Can you say Edsel? hahaha
Hey, how about this GAY-ASS used car ambush commercialism thats creeped into these threads? Who give a rats-ass about Gm and their used car lots...OMG, It is hilarious how these idiots at GM and Ford put window dressing on all their shit, rather than just build a goddamnd decent car! Ford even has its own (get this) iphone web site where someone can go and get a free picture/phot rendering app, just for watching Ford Flex ads....THATS gonna save you Ford!...NOT. How freaking ludicrous!!!!
This car is really a joke. I think a couple of fords engineers got in an agrument over wether to make an SUV or a van and it turned out nobody really won. all this car is is just a giant toyota scion. and wow why in the hell would u want ur cup holders to light up? anyoing! I thought chevy's wanna be escalade was gay but wow this car takes the cake for gayes SUV or van. watever it is. The only original design ive seen in a while for an SUV is the new toyota sequoia.

Are you just pulling our leg or what? you have the limited edition, and that's the best you can come up with to tell us about? The seats move up and back?
tell us about how long the fridge stays on after the car is turned off? How easy is it to get out of the rear side doors in a parking lot? How tall are you and do you like the headrest angle and the reach to the steering wheel. Will you renew your Sirius in 6 months?
Me no likey! ME vant de limeted edtition, even do, me too short to reachy da pedals....Me dink my chinese pony tail too tight, cause I can't see no more. Me likey seats...you get lots of seats ...even in the middle row....My wifey sez she so horny, she suck you long time....two dollars...maybe I'm not chinese...maybe I'm wetback...I no sure, since I got no parents...
Me Blueskyiii!!! Me like plugging asshole. It make a me horney. me have no friends thats why me type long ass coments that no-one cares about. And me wifey so horney for $.50 cents. She call me piece-o-shit. but i know already

Make up your mind Frankie. I guess you and I agree after all, that the Japanese dominate in automobile design and manufacture. Ford is ready to sell off Mazda, just like they did with the other PAG brands. Maybe Boeing will be ready to take Mulally back after their new CEO finishes getting his ASS handed to him by the brave IAM brethren! I doubt it tho. Time to retire Alan. No one else can use your ineptitude.
Uh oh. Frankie got me browsing,and it turns out that both Motor Trend and Car and Driver Already compared these CUVs, (as well as others)..Guess who won? Go browsing yourself to find out. google search "Ford Flex versus Honda Pilot". Sorry Frank. Like I said before, if you like the Flex, then go out and buy one...Ontario, Canada needs jobs too!
uh...nope $35405. You forgot $700 dealer destination. Your lack of attention also is present in your misrep of CR's article too..
"The interior is trimmed with soft-touch dash top and tasteful wood inlays. But some details such as the flimsy, hard-to-latch glove box door and some fits are disappointing. The lack of a telescopic steering wheel compromises the driving position because the wheel's long distance from the driver's seat causes some drivers to stretch their arms to reach."
"CR's take. The Flex is certainly functional and as its name says, flexible, but the powertrain lacks the polish and efficiency of some of its competitors. "
Just noticed that Ford changed it's website to make it harder for a buyer to get to the list of stanard options for the Flex. Instead, they now try to WOW you with graphics and only show the Package Options. There used to be a placde where you could enter a competitor CUV, and Ford would show the features of both cars. Looks like they de4cided to hide that deeper in the bowels of the web, or maybe they pulled it entirely. Frankie, you're not a web designer for Ford are you? :)
Ford options forces the most prized options(leather and stereo) into a package that pigeon-holes you into upgrading the entire platform. Perforated leather is only available on the Limited, as is the 12 speaker stereo. (BTW, Honda cars come with a full year of Free satellite radio, while Fords is only 6 monthswhy so cheap, Ford?)
Pilots 2wd EX-L version spanks the Flex on features for $35,865 which is only $460 more than the Flex Limited. Standard on the EX-L are heated front seats, rear DVD entertainment systems, 540W killer Radio (with subwoofer), telescoping steering wheel and much, much more.
Ford charges $1995 for the DVD headrest entertainment option, which bumps Fords Flex to almost $2K more that the EX-L Pilot.
Flex has no telescoping wheel option at all, which has been roundly dissed by auto pundits. Went to the free Consumer Reports page, and could not see any of the great Flex comments you mentioned. They like Lexus
Base price of the SE is 28,995 based on the Ford website. The ONLY options available on the SE are a 1 CD to 6CD/Satallite Stereo, Sync, roof rails and fancy floor mats. the SE comes with Cloth seats...CLOTH SEATS! When's the last time you saw CLOTH SEATS on a $29K vehicle?...never! ANY other options pushes you to the 2x4 (fancy talk for front wheel drive only...duh) SEL. BASE for the 2x4SEL is $32,770. Compare (as you did) to the Honda Pilot.A wealth of base features AND seats 8 for $27,595.
I wouldn't call it a LUXURY SUV, but it's more glamorous than other midsize SUV's, like the Mazda CX-9, Ford Explorer, and Honda Pilot. However, it is downscale compared to other SUV's with higher prices and more luxury, including the Audi Q7, Mercedes ML, BMW X5, Lexus GX, and Cadillac SRX. I think the base price is $27,000. That's reasonable, but not terribly inexpensive for a model like this one. It has about 230bhp and gets to 60mph in 9.1 seconds. It's not sporty, but it's an OK midsize SUV
ya think? ...affordable range of luxury? When did Ford ever get elevated to luxury status? I missed the memo...The way it works where I come from, you build a car or SUV that exceeds owners expectations...THEN,you get the right to up your prices. 6 months of improved INITIAL QUALITY ratings doesn't mean you get to jack your prices and claim uber-luxury...Look at resale/residuals on Ford before you start talking about Ford's luxury/quality status...yeah I hate Ford...youbetcha!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
True...I can't afford a car that is built with a historical useful life of 5 years instead of 15. I can't afford the immediate depreciation that Ford offers, and I have such a weak ego that I cannot even afford the shame I will feel when I drive around in a car that everyone who sees me in , will know I was FORCED to settle for it, since no other car maker would loan me the money to buy it. Anyone buying this car should consider themselves candidates for subprime car loan rapings.
dag namit, you caught me...I really love this non-truck vehicle, even though it's priced higher than a vehicle that can actually tow something... Dang you kids....you're too smart!
Went to Flex Forums and they wonder why the Flex has a higher rating on the towing than the same platform Edge, which actually has a tranny cooler on it's tow package...Most of the more knowledgeable techs over there seem to think this is NOT the Ford to buy if you are gonna try to tow, and have 6 people inside it with their gear... Explorer and more favorably, the Expedition...I would hate to see this Flex with 500lbs of tongue weight (as a class III hitch specifies) try to climb a boat ramp.
What a fag. I think the Flex is a new direction for Ford. At least it looks better than the freestar it replaces. That minivan was so ugly and looked like a scrawny windstar. Those two vans gave everyone problems. But the good models are the Flex, Taurus, Edge, Mustang, and the Fusion. They are the 'affordable' range of luxury. I also know that the 2010 Taurus is going to look very similar to the Lincoln MKS. And then they will debut the Fiesta here too. So don't think this is the end of Ford.
I only comment negatively about the Flex because I can see the future. I you buy a car only for how it looks, have a huge family, understand how quickly a 36,000 mile warranty expires, and don't mind having 25% fewer places to have it repaired under warranty, have a trade-in that hasn't lost 40% of it's trade-in value in the last year or so, AND really think this CUV is worth $40K, then I say follow your bliss...Buy one!
or buy a new one at the bankruptcy auction next year for .30 on the dollar.
its a shipping container LOL no1s gon buy this. whod waste there money on a wanna be hummer ? THIS IS Y U LOST 8 BILLION DOLLARS FORD BUILD SOME PROPER DAMN CARS
I have a Limited with the navigation so i do not have the different color lettering of what the reviewer speaks of... I love this car so much... great quality and great fit and finish... I'm 6'1'' and 200#s, and I have never been more comfy-even more than the 3 years in my 2006 Freestyle. I bought briliant silver with the white top... sharp! Great job Ford... and 23 mpg driving to montreal...
Styling on this car is always going to be Love it or hate it. but this guy is a dick trying to Nitpik on this car. I have driven and been in this car and I can say I love it. Its smooth and quiet and very roomy. The major issue with this car is the price. a fully loaded Flex will be around $40 to $45k. That is going into expedition territory. Lower it to $37K or $38K and it would be great. another issue is the Taurus X, styling wise aside, its pretty much identical though the Taurus X is bland.
Okay...this editor is just an ASSHOLE! EVERY OTHER automotive reviewer has given the Flex Rave reviews! HE just had to be different and nit-pick and every little thing he could find!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
There are no competitors for this car because this car is in a class all to itself. The class of cars that are so poorly thought out (for the moment in history in which they arrive to the market) that virtually no one will consider them. This is the modern day Edsel. This car offered at $25k base would be a hit and widely acclaimed as a game changer for Ford. At $35K it's yet another embarrassment for Ford and anyone foolish enough to purchase it. Residual value blackhole with $4 gas.
This yutz is just looking for things to complain about. The Flex is one of the best crossovers I have seen AND driven from any competitor. I'll agree a telescopic wheel would be nice, but not a dealbreaker . He complains about a couple of the plastics being hard? GET A GRIP!! The interior is awash in WAY more high quality plastics than even the Edge! Once Ford drops in the EcoBoost , I am purchasing one. Not that I am don't like the current V6, but the EcoBoost will add a little more kick to it.
what for review was that pffff. You said in the beginning they went for occupant space instead of cargo space but then you criticize them for the cargo space. I can't trust this review.
I too wish there was telescoping wheel. I have found that the dash's fit and finish are top notch in my opinion. I would have liked for Ford to keep the "Fairlane" nameplate as used in the concept. And yes I agree that the digital readouts should be in blue too... Ford are you listening? I am receiving my new Flex to replace my 2006 Freestyle next week. I'm excited anyway because it will do what I need it to do and it's fun to drive. SOLID.
Just letting you know I drive a 2006 Freestyle with almost 50,000 miles. I have not had one bit of trouble. The car runs great and is more reliable than my Infiniti M45 that has had more problems with the electrical including turning off on the highway going >55mph. The Freestyle is also terrific in the snow, cutting through 26" of wet snow like it wasn't even there. I do believe Ford makes a quality vehicle and I am looking forward to my new Flex which will be delivered next week. Peace RS
Lol..., your Infinity did that? That's funny for Infinity because, everybody CLAIMS, how reliable they're cars are...but, dangerous for you! It's a good thing that, you made it out of that situation safe! Go Ford! ;-)
Lol..., I'll definitely take your word for it! It's funny how, if it was an American made automobile..., that kind of info. would be all over the place, in the car magazines and, everybody would know about it...but, being that, it's foreign..., you'll never know about something like that...unless, you find out for yourself!
I got to look at this and the Edge(TheCar I originally wanted).What I found was the Edge-5000bucks more,wasn't built as well and the rear doors made an odd clank when I shut them-the Flex,me being 6foot even was nice, all rows were roomy in my opinion ,but the last row you were eatin your knees.
Probably the car I'm gettin is the Flex,although I haven't test driven it yet :(
Ok this car looks like ford put it in a car compressor then put it for sale. It's SQUARE!!! Not good. And why did you bring a Corrola into this? We all know the best corolla's where rear driven and even the new ones arn't that bad. 15G for a new toyota is excallent. 35G for that is a waste of money thow.
it says on the Ford website that a manual tilt/telescoping steering wheel is standard on all trim levels, and there's a power tilt/telescoping available on Limited trim
You're right, but Ford was wrong! We contacted them and they did indeed put the wrong feature on their website and are fixing it. There is just manual tilt. No power either on limited trim. Thanks for the catch!
you wouldn't know a good crossover if it smacked you in the ass

This guys is nitpicking this thing as if the Flex was competing directly with the BMW X6 or the Audi Q7. The vehicle appears to be a reasonably priced alternative to a minivan or a mid-large SUV. Its obviously not the luxury vehicle that this guy was expecting it to be. Perhaps if ford were to release the flex in a lincoln version, then he could make and argument.

They don't seem to have sold a lot of these, but maybe the styling is just too "controvertial." Ford needs to take Ralph Gilles from Chrysler. He designed the 300C, 09 Ram, and 200C. That guy knows how to make a hell of a good looking vehicle. Anyway, I still like the Flex.
somewhatlongdong 2 years ago 3
they've sold 10,972 (as of May 1) in the US in less than 4 months of production. that makes it the third-lowest selling Ford (only ahead of the Expedition and Taurus X). sooo, yeah, sales aren't that good. but neither are sales of the cars you mention. in fact, the Chryslers of your examples are all being outsold currently by Ford's counterparts. in April, for example, the Taurus outsold the 300 by a mark of 3,097 units to 2,946. F-Series outsold the Ram 28,757 to 17,903.

This guy really has no idea of how to review a car. He says um to much, pauses too often, says his opinion on every thing rather than an accumulation of everyone's thoughts. This car is very nice. At the beginning when he was talking about releasing the car after there have been 4 other models, who doesn't do that? After the first truck there were many more. If they only made one car and then every other company thought it to be stupid to make another version of that, we wouldnt have any cars.

The car is a Ford Flex, not exactly sure why they named it that because I was thinking the same exact thing when I first saw/heard of it, thinking that it ran on flex fuel, which it doesn't. It runs on regular gasoline.

Before you buy a Ford or invest on Ford, consider this quote:
"In the next nine months, we will introduce nine new products plus two new hybrids, which together account for 45% of our volume in 2009," said Jim Farley, Ford group vice president of marketing and communications, in a statement.
Doing some quick math, if 45%(the new cars) of their pitiful 130K monthly unit in 2008 goes like the Flex did in the last 4 months, Ford's sales will be:
(130Kx.55)+(11x2K)=71.5K+22K=9 3.5K= -28% sales

Latest Flex sales data is very sad:
Flex
Oct sales: 2,017
Total sales: 9,569
If you take away the 5000 units needed to put just one of these cars on a ford lot, it yields true sales of only 4000 units nationwide! Each dealer only sold 1/2 of a Flex in the entire month!) GULP!
What happened to the target of annualized sales of 100K units (8.3K/mon. or close to 2 units sold per dealer/mon.) No wonder Ford shit-canned the Chief Design Engineer Gresens two months ago...Can you say Edsel? hahaha

uh...nope $35405. You forgot $700 dealer destination. Your lack of attention also is present in your misrep of CR's article too..
"The interior is trimmed with soft-touch dash top and tasteful wood inlays. But some details such as the flimsy, hard-to-latch glove box door and some fits are disappointing. The lack of a telescopic steering wheel compromises the driving position because the wheel's long distance from the driver's seat causes some drivers to stretch their arms to reach."

Again, from Consumer Report's web site:
"CR's take. The Flex is certainly functional and as its name says, flexible, but the powertrain lacks the polish and efficiency of some of its competitors. "

Just noticed that Ford changed it's website to make it harder for a buyer to get to the list of stanard options for the Flex. Instead, they now try to WOW you with graphics and only show the Package Options. There used to be a placde where you could enter a competitor CUV, and Ford would show the features of both cars. Looks like they de4cided to hide that deeper in the bowels of the web, or maybe they pulled it entirely. Frankie, you're not a web designer for Ford are you? :)

SEL Limited is $35,405 for FWD.
Ford options forces the most prized options(leather and stereo) into a package that pigeon-holes you into upgrading the entire platform. Perforated leather is only available on the Limited, as is the 12 speaker stereo. (BTW, Honda cars come with a full year of Free satellite radio, while Fords is only 6 monthswhy so cheap, Ford?)

Pilots 2wd EX-L version spanks the Flex on features for $35,865 which is only $460 more than the Flex Limited. Standard on the EX-L are heated front seats, rear DVD entertainment systems, 540W killer Radio (with subwoofer), telescoping steering wheel and much, much more.
(cont'd)

Ford charges $1995 for the DVD headrest entertainment option, which bumps Fords Flex to almost $2K more that the EX-L Pilot.
Flex has no telescoping wheel option at all, which has been roundly dissed by auto pundits. Went to the free Consumer Reports page, and could not see any of the great Flex comments you mentioned. They like Lexus

Base price of the SE is 28,995 based on the Ford website. The ONLY options available on the SE are a 1 CD to 6CD/Satallite Stereo, Sync, roof rails and fancy floor mats. the SE comes with Cloth seats...CLOTH SEATS! When's the last time you saw CLOTH SEATS on a $29K vehicle?...never! ANY other options pushes you to the 2x4 (fancy talk for front wheel drive only...duh) SEL. BASE for the 2x4SEL is $32,770. Compare (as you did) to the Honda Pilot.A wealth of base features AND seats 8 for $27,595.

I wouldn't call it a LUXURY SUV, but it's more glamorous than other midsize SUV's, like the Mazda CX-9, Ford Explorer, and Honda Pilot. However, it is downscale compared to other SUV's with higher prices and more luxury, including the Audi Q7, Mercedes ML, BMW X5, Lexus GX, and Cadillac SRX. I think the base price is $27,000. That's reasonable, but not terribly inexpensive for a model like this one. It has about 230bhp and gets to 60mph in 9.1 seconds. It's not sporty, but it's an OK midsize SUV

ya think? ...affordable range of luxury? When did Ford ever get elevated to luxury status?

What a fag. I think the Flex is a new direction for Ford. At least it looks better than the freestar it replaces. That minivan was so ugly and looked like a scrawny windstar. Those two vans gave everyone problems. But the good models are the Flex, Taurus, Edge, Mustang, and the Fusion. They are the 'affordable' range of luxury. I also know that the 2010 Taurus is going to look very similar to the Lincoln MKS. And then they will debut the Fiesta here too. So don't think this is the end of Ford.

There are no competitors for this car because this car is in a class all to itself. The class of cars that are so poorly thought out (for the moment in history in which they arrive to the market) that virtually no one will consider them. This is the modern day Edsel. This car offered at $25k base would be a hit and widely acclaimed as a game changer for Ford. At $35K it's yet another embarrassment for Ford and anyone foolish enough to purchase it. Residual value blackhole with $4 gas.

This yutz is just looking for things to complain about. The Flex is one of the best crossovers I have seen AND driven from any competitor. I'll agree a telescopic wheel would be nice, but not a dealbreaker . He complains about a couple of the plastics being hard? GET A GRIP!! The interior is awash in WAY more high quality plastics than even the Edge! Once Ford drops in the EcoBoost , I am purchasing one. Not that I am don't like the current V6, but the EcoBoost will add a little more kick to it.

I'd say, square ain't too bad! Land Rover took that route...and, look how sucessful they've been with it?! ;-)

it says on the Ford website that a manual tilt/telescoping steering wheel is standard on all trim levels, and there's a power tilt/telescoping available on Limited trim

You're right, but Ford was wrong! We contacted them and they did indeed put the wrong feature on their website and are fixing it. There is just manual tilt. No power either on limited trim. Thanks for the catch!

Another Ford pile of crap. Why can't they make anything reasonably good?
