2011 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 355hp 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The seating throughout the vehicle is extremely roomy. Adults can fit comfortably in both the second and third row seats. The driver and passenger seats are also extremely comfortable. see full Ford Flex review |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2012 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I find the heated front seats exceptionally comfortable. I am 6' 2" and have very good room. Note, however, that my wife finds the forward lean in the headrests uncomfortable. see full Acura TSX review |
