The exterior of this attractive AWD definitely deserves a second look (some may be turned off by its wagon-like styling). But, one thing's for sure, you won't see another vehicle on the road quite like the Ford Flex (it most definitely stands out from the rest). Um, don't you think? We sure do, I mean how many vehicles have you seen on the road that looks like the Flex? The unique styling alone will capture the attention of others. In addition, the 2013 Flex-Limited AWD sports dynamic and enthralling design elements, both inside and out.

Can't find that darn garage door opener?

Annoying, right? There's nothing worst than losing the garage door opener! We've all been there, and we all know how annoying it can be trying to hunt down the garage opener? It can be very frustrating, especially if it's raining out or you have a car full of groceries! Besides, it's already hard enough trying to keep up with those darn keys, right?

Can you believe that the Flex-Limited comes with a universal garage door opener? That's super cool right? The Flex's universal garage door opener replaces the common hand-held garage door opener with a three-button transmitter (seen above) and it's conveniently located above the driver's sun visor. How awesome is that? Pretty darn awesome, if you ask me! Now, it's time to retire that old clunky garage door opener. Good riddance!

The Steering Wheel

There's SO much for families to love about the 2013 Ford Flex-Limited AWD, it's one amazing vehicle and it literally feels like pure-butter on the road. The Ford Flex-Limited has everything your family could ever want in a vehicle — and much, much more! On the road, the Flex drives extremely easy for a vehicle of its size and it's fairly easy to navigate. When I first hopped in the driver's seat, I couldn't get over how fascinating the steering wheel was, it's very ergonomic and super-friendly on the wrist. My grip really felt at home when handling the Flex's steering wheel, yes it's that AMAZING!

Spacious. Spacious. Spacious.

The Flex-Limited in known for its capaciousness and third row seating, which is why we choose to test-drive this particular vehicle. The third row seating can be folded-back to facilitate luggage, sporting equipment, groceries or other large items. Also, the third row seating features a power one-touch operation that'll allow you to adjust the seating into a normal, stow, or tailgate position with just a simple touch of a button (seen above).

Let's back up now....

The Flex takes backing out of the driveway (or parking lot) to the next level, that's for sure! With the rear-sensing system, the Flex-Limited will conveniently chime when the vehicle comes into close proximately of another automobile OR object. It's quite amazing! When an object is fewer than twelve inches away, the warning sound will chime continuously. Also, if there's an object detected near the side of the vehicle, the warning sound will chime for three seconds. Once the systems detects an object approaching, the warning sound will chime, again! <-- How cool is that?

GPS Navigation

One thing's for sure, you'll never have to worry about getting lost while driving the Flex-Limited. It comes fully-equipped with a state-of-the-art GPS, voice recognition system and it's phenomenal. It's the perfect road side-kick, especially if you're journeying through uncharted territory,  and we all know how frightening that can be, right?

 Final Thoughts

The 2013 Ford Flex-Limited AWD is very comfortable and extremely spacious! Besides that, it's a ton of fun to drive and my family absolutely adores it, especially the hubs. I wish we could have kept this wondrous vehicle a week longer, it would have given me more time to learn more about the features. There's so many features and I'm so sorry that I couldn't cover them all, so please forgive me. So, if you're looking for a vehicle that's spacious, gas-friendly and safe, then look no further than the 2013 Ford Flex-Limited AWD. It has reliable performance as well as a reasonable price, which is a plus given the size.

  11. I used to hate Fords and then I got one. Now, I see why my oldest brother loves them (and he has worked at Toyota for YEARS). The Flex would be a nice vehicle to go on a little road trip. :)

  12. This would be the perfect vehicle for my son and his 5 children. He needs a lot of space and we love Ford vehicles. He currently has their Expedition but will soon need to replace for a newer model

  13. I love my old Ford Explorer. This could be a contender as the eventual replacement, but that might be awhile... Ford trucks last & last.

  14. I have to admit that I am not a fan of the outside because of the wagon style but the inside is great and all the features. Everything that this vehicle has to offer may be enough for me to overlook the outside appearance

  24. That looks like the world's coolest station wagon. I would love to have something this spacious and roomy. I love our mini-van, but I wouldn't mind a bit of trunk space.

    ReplyDelete
  25. It sure is a fun looking vehicle...almost retro! Those back up cameras are amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  26. The universal garage door opener is really cool. But could you open other doors with it by accident?

    I love that color.

  42. We only buy Fords. I'm not familiar with the Flex, though. I'd definitely consider it when we're in the market for a new vehicle.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I was so sad our car didn't have keyless start when we bought it. Maybe the next car we get will be a ford?!
