2010 Ford Flex Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by mike.swierczek

Front seat support & comfort

Very comfortable and easy to adjust front seats with good materials, good controls, and sufficient room to stretch out your legs.

Fuel economy

1000 miles of ownership so far, 21-22 mpg in light suburb and highway driving, 24-25 mpg on 500 mile trip (fuel economy measured by calculating miles driven divided by gallons of fuel purchased).

Driving position & visibility

Outstanding visibility from all sides and obstacle detection system is standard.

Quietness

Very quiet ride.

Powertrain performance

Transmission is fine under light acceleration or foot-to-floor heavy acceleration. But if you tap your pedal down two inches there is a noticeable long hesitation before the vehicle starts to build speed. Not a deal breaker, but very annoying.
