It is a great, versatile family car.
I like that it is low profile with high seating capacity. It is very comfortable for long family trips. It has a lot of features like the keyless entry that makes life a little easier.

Lots of utility in a stylish box.
Great vehicle. Lots of room for passengers and cargo. Very easy to drive. Feels solid on the road, but still nimble in traffic. Plenty of power and smooth shifting. Lots of creature comforts and gadgets to play with. Middling gas mileage and road noise are the only real negatives.

Ford flex is a winner for comfort and cargo space!
The ford flex is an extremely reliable vehicle. We purchased this as a 1 year used vehicle. No problems whatsoever beyond required maintenance. The comfort level is surprising for such a boxy vehicle however we use this for long trips, family of 4 (6 hrs or longer) and have been extremely pleased with the comfort level and roomy dimensions. The back up camera is helpful for all drivers.

The most important thing is that is good on gas.
I do not have any complaints about the car. But I do have a lot of things that I like about it for example there is a lot of space, I can feel my sister on flat if I need my room, and I also have 3rd row seating.

Favorite family car! Great performance and technology.
The flex is my favorite car. It is comfortable to drive in and drive. It is powerful! It feels spacious inside and is so versatile for carrying people and large items! It has amazing features inside; love the infotainment system! The GPS is one of my favorites to use, I use it over my phone apps all the time. It is also unique, it is not everywhere and it looks different than most cars.

Lots of room and drives great
It drives well and holds a lot of things. I am short and it's almost too long for me.

Great for large family. Enough room to fit the kids and all the luggage.
So far we have not had any issues or problems with the car. It has plenty of room for our family of 5 to travel back and forth from Arizona and Utah. We live how much space is in the back when the seats fold down and we love having the option of the third row seating.

Negative Owner Reviews

Vehicle is just ok. Not as roomy as first thought
Not happy with the transmission, it seems to be slipping & I only have 55K miles. Otherwise, car is just "ok"
accountCircle Amy W
I like that it has a lot of space and it is reliable. The extra row is nice and roomy. I don't like how long it is because it seems difficult to park. The heating and cooling doesn't seem to work very well.
It is a very large car. It has a lot of room but is pretty long.
accountCircle Debbie H
It's smooth ride for travel on long trips
Like the warming seats, control of air and heat in the front and back.the cup holders, the cup holder in the middle in the back seat.
accountCircle Sasha B
Its very spacious on the instead.
It is a mid-size sedan that has third row seating. I can seat up to eight people. I have no issues with the car I just think it is ugly. I can backup using my rear view camera, Bluetooth capabilities and cargo storage. My seats can fold down if I need them too.
accountCircle Kristi M
Good car for larger family.
My vehicle offers space for a larger sized family to fit in comfortably. We like the fact that we can easily fit our family of five plus luggage in the back when we are taking a trip and still feel like we have enough room in the car. The car travels nicely over long distances and seats are spacious and comfortable. I recommend the AWD that we currently own as I had problems with my previous flex in the winter months that was not when traveling on icy pavement. Another feature we like is the moonroof allowing airflow and out model has windows on the roof in the rear as well allowing for extra light.
accountCircle Kelly E
Very spacious, yet has some flaws.
Lots of things go wrong with it including a purring bubbly sound that nobody can tell us what it is but it is very spacious for a large family and we love the sun roofs. I don't like the keyless feature and I also don't like the touch screen control panel.

How to drive my car fast and quick.
It's fun to drive it fast and to make other people on the road mad at you. It's fun to drive it fast and to make other people on the road mad at you. It's fun to drive it fast and to make other people on the road mad at you. It's fun to drive it fast and to make other people on the road mad at you.

Recommend for families of 4+ more.
Extremely roomy vehicle. I haul five on a regular basis. The third-row is critical for a rambunctious kid. Boost is strong, radio is loud. My only issue is the exhaust, one full piece costs $1500 to fix. This is a van better with more style and more room.

Good buy or beginner drivers or elderly.
Has nice capacity, seats 6 people comfortably. Good trunk space for getting grocery’s or for camping supplies, speedometer is very Big, Easy to see even elderly van drive with ease. Glove box is pretty solid. The air-conditioning/ heating works fantastic haven’t had to replace any of the fans or blower motors for the unit.

Ford flex unique mom mobile.
I love my ford flex. It is very roomy. I like to describe it as driving a couch down the road. I appreciate its lower profile to enter and exit as most 7 passenger vehicles sit up high. The extra seating allows me to take my kids friends with us. Storage is great in this boxy car. I also like its unique look. Mine is red which I think is very fun. The downside is low gas mileage.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Donna E.

It tells me when oil needs changing, child proof locks, seat warmers, everything needed for comfort. It is comfortable, and holds 8 passengers. Has Bluetooth., Can set the drivers side seat for two different drivers with touch of button.

likeFilled Jamie M.

Comfortable, easy to drive, powerful, so many helpful features, versatile, so much space, quiet interior, great GPS system - helpful directions and images that make city driving easier, you do not see this car everywhere - unique, great drive and ride!

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Donna E.

It is hard to find the proper tire sizes. I had to wait a week for tires due to blowouts. Speakers are not of high quality. The door lock on drivers side does not work properly. There are not any cons left to mention as far as I can tell.

dislikeFilled Jamie M.

Only 1 thing... I would like a physical button for seat warming and cooling. When reversing, using GPS, or anything else that uses up the infotainment screen it can be inconvenient if you would like to turn on the seat.

How Reliable Is The 2015 Ford Flex?

As I said on the page before. It was reliable for 4 years and then started having electrical and computer problems.
Charleen R.
No not really. It is a very good running vehicle. I just love the way it handles. The only thing that I would change is to make it 8 passenger vehicle instead of 7
Emma H.

Is The 2015 Ford Flex A Good Value?

Approximately $38,000. When it does not have computer or electrical problems it lives up to its value. We really like the flex.
Charleen R.
It is very expensive. I think I paid more than I should have. But it is a reliable vehicle compared to the cost .
