FORD FLEX

One of my reasons was the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter v/6 engine that just takes charge on our hectic roadways.  It passed an 18 Wheeler on a two-lane road like it was standing still; thanks to the available 355 horsepower ECOBoost V/6.  Our Flex came with a six-speed automatic transmission that went through its gears as smooth as a baby's bottom.

I was asked recently why we chose the Ford Flex over all those other shiny and pretty large SUV's.  Well it was easy, since the Flex just stood out from its competition in more ways than one.  The professionals at Waxahachie Ford were extremely helpful with us in helping to make that right decision with all the choices that we were contemplating.  With a clear head we pointed at the Flex.


I know some will talk about its so called boxy styling, but to us that is one of the things that sets it apart from those other same “look a likes”.  Our neighbor Ralph even mentioned, “I see y’all got a Ford Flex”.  He didn't say, “What kind of a SUV is it”.  Know what I mean?

Our Flex handles seven adults in comfort, even in the third row.  They aren't sitting there with their knees in their chests.  Other SUV's we looked at had the rear set reserved for kids; not the Flex.  This vehicle is just a large and comfortable “people mover”.  If you are concerned about gas mileage and who isn’t in today’s time, don't fret it.  The Ford Flex standard V/6 will deliver 18/25 mpg, which is really great for this class.

It comes equipped with heated side mirrors, rear parking sensors, Ford's voice-controlled SYNC System with Bluetooth and the necessary USB port.  Up grades of all kinds are available and my wife chose the dual-zone automatic climate control. She always complained that I “froze her out” with our old car.  I chose the Navigation system as men don't ask for directions.

Now if you want to talk about the “safety factor”, according to U.S.NEW BEST CARS, the Flex gets a 9.7 out of 10. The CONSUMER REPORTS gave the Ford Flex the high mark on Customer Satisfaction. Feel better?  All we can say is this large, comfortable transporter really deserves your consideration.
