I've been impressed with it's acceleration when getting up to speed to merge or when passing. Much better than what I expected from a V6 in a vehicle of this size. However this performance comes with a hit on your MPG so I try to keep my foot out of it. see full Ford Flex review |

It's front wheel drive. I really miss the RWD of my Yukon. My Bonniville was FWD but it was a car and it wasn't going to be a long term vehicle for me anyway. 90+% of the time I don't notice that it's FWD. However, when accelerating when turning onto a road, if the aceleration is enough to cause wheel slip (wet roads, heavy foot etc.) the sterring wheel jerks and it feels very odd & unsafe. It may be that I am just so used to RWD I'm having trouble adjusting. having a vehicle fishtail feels normal to me. The jerking shaking wheel doesn't. see full Ford Flex review |
