The first Flex I drove was the 2009 model, and I don't think it was the SEL model, it may have been the SE.
This first impression of this car is "man this is BIG." The headroom was massive, and it felt like I was driving a living room. The suspension felt very soft and while very comfortable, it made for a very sluggish and almost boring ride. The 3.5 liter V6 felt decent, however, I'd love to see what this vehicle feels like with the EcoBoost that is now available.
The interior was nicely appointed, and the leather seats were very comfortable. The dash had more controls than are probably necessary, and the dials used to change the radio volume and the driver or passenger temperatures were nearly identical. I found myself reaching for the wrong dial more than once.
I did like the parking assist on this car. I went to the Memphis Grizzlies' game, and getting out of the parking lot was a lot easier thanks to the warning it gives when you nearly back into another car.
This model stickers for about $34k, and would go up to $40k for the EcoBoost. The next trim level up with all of the "bells and whistles" and AWD/EcoBoost is tops out at $43k.
