GREAT HAULER

I have only had my Flex for three weeks however, I must say the whole family likes it a lot including the 4 dogs. I had a smaller really great cuv but, needed something bigger. It is our weekend traveler and there are 8 of us 4 being our dogs. The other way was a safety hazard we were squashed in it. We all took it for a test drive and it handled really well turns , bends and stopping. I purchased the eco boost . It is a limited white with dune interior. bucket seats first and second row, Has the dvd player which i really didn't want but my 2 children like it. It is an extremely comfortable ride and I do not hurt when I get out of it. I wanted the panoramic windows. Don't have the tow package and one or 2 other pkgs . The pick up is just right, great for getting onto highways. It is so family friendly. I looked at the explorer but I am a wagon person. I don't know what they classify the flex as , to me it is a large wagon. SOme of the materials are not the best in quality but they aren't the worst either. I don't ever buy a car in the dark and when I woke up the next morning and went out to check it over I saw that the rear molding doesn't fit. The piece is in and that will get replaced next week. Also the wiring wasn't hooked up for the ambient lighting on the shifter area that has been fixed. I also learned they have to take pictures of parts even if the car is new because people try to say it is a warrenty problem when they had an accident. Turning radius is big and parking in tiny lots is doable just not one turn your in.I am not complaining i knew all of these things about the car before I bought it. I am just letting others know.
