Plenty of room in the first and second rows. The third row will fit an adult, but is better for the kids. see full Ford Flex review |

Took awhile to think of something that could be improved but a bit larger area in the front drivers footwell would be appreciated. That's about it. see full Ford Flex review |

The seat heaters are an absolute joke. We thought they were broken. No, they're just terrible. If you live in regular -10c weather you will want a a plug-in seat warmer.
The seats themselves are fantastic for driving.
Driver's seat does not slide forward when you move the seatback to access the back seat. Seems fine, who wants to reset their seat position every time.
The passenger seat does get loose when you pop the seat back up, but the chair slides around loose and left to gravity, will sit at the rearmost spot. Might be nice if it could sit in a divot at the full frontmost position.
