Q: Does a Ford Edge drive like a van? Is it a family vehicle? How does the Ford Flex drive?
Is the Edge basically a soccer mom and dad vehicle like a van?

A: They both drive more like cars than trucks or traditional SUV’s because they are car based. They are also not SUV’s they fall into the realm of crossovers. They are basically glorified station wagons/minivans. They are primarily front wheel drive and have unibody construction. They are not made for any kind of real off road use.

Q: Does the Ford Flex have good storage capacity?
We are looking into a Ford Flex because it is such a cool vehicle! However, we are a outdoorsy family who likes to camp. With the third row down, could you scrape and fit al your stuff inside (tent, food, matress, etc.) Only answer if you are a Ford Flex owner or know extensive amounts about the vehicle. Thanks!

A: are u kidding me?! heck yes!! i love my new ford flex!! and i just took it camping last weekend!! trust me in this. its amazing. id go to the dealer first because i was extremely unsure then i went and looked at it and it was very nice. i made a deal right there!! i was gonna get and expedition but wayyyy to gass guzzlerish. it even has wood trim and bixenon headlamps(the white ones) and everything and the whole cr lights up blue inside!!! take a look urself…

Q: What do you think about the Ford Flex?
My husbad and I are thinking of getting one as an alternative to a minivan. If you have one, please let me know how you like it and if there are any problems with it. If you don’t have one, would you get one?

A: The last job I has was working for Enterprise Rent A Car and we had just gotten a lot of these. On average they will get about 2,000 hard driven miles a week on them, this is the testing ground. Of all the cars we had, this was the only one that every one loved. They also have the best crash safety rating of any Ford vehicle on the road. Which is 5 stars, the highest possible. I’d give them an A+. My best advice though if you buy any new car is to keep tabs on recalls. The Flex is fairly durable and really fun to drive, but all of the technology in it is new. Getting an extended warranty will cost you a few hundred dollars more, but can save you from paying thousands in the future. I hope this helps. Happy Motoring

I mean from the front it’s fine… But the back…? Seriously, Ford? Let’s put no thought or style into the back. What are your thoughts?

Q: Which vehicle would be better for a snowy climate of Timmins, Ontario: Ford Escape or Ford Flex?
I love both vehicles and value to merits of each. I’m torn between the Flex and the 09 Escape. I’ve recently started a job as a pharmacist in Timmins, ON (A LOT of snow) and want to get ready for winter. I’m curious as to which of the two vehicles would better handle hard winters once equipped with snow shoes: a AWD Flex, a AWD Escape, or a 4×4 Escape.

Thanks in advance

A: The flex is bigger by far. it’s heavier and has taller, wider tires, which means it will perform better in the snow. although the escape has a higher ground clearance, which means less likely to get stuck on a snow bank. one thing i can’t find online is technical data on the drivetrains. you will want to choose that one that has differential locks for front axle and/or rear axle, but most importantly a center differential, which means at least one front wheel and at least on rear wheel will always have power. My last car only had a lock on the rear axle, which means that if the back wheels started to slip, there was NO power going to the front wheels, rendering the “AWD” system useless. tires will be more expensive for the flex, gas mileage will be better on escape. The flex is a better car, but more expensive. Me, i’d get the escape if you plan on using it primarily as a commuter. The Flex is a better family car because it is larger and a more comfortable drive.

Q: Morning everybody; Hey do any of you know how much a 2009 Ford Flex License plate cost to be renewed?

A: Depends on what state you’re in. So go to the DMV site for whatever state you’re planning on registering the car with

Q: What is the song in the new Ford Flex commercial? The female sings the words “ride with me”.?

Q: Any know about the Ford Flex?
Really interested in the Ford Flex, thinking about buying it. Let me know what you think about the car, good or bad.

A: Its a nice car but has some quirky sightlines and design to it. Personally I dont like it, mainly because I think it’s overpriced. You need to personally test drive one. I bought a Ford Edge instead, Found it to be more comfortable, and a better ride quality. Hope this helps!

Q: What’s that song on the Flex Ford commercial?
It’s a really cool song. And I want to get it on itunes.

A: Search itunes for “L.E.S Artistes” by Santogold, I am not sure but may be what you are looking for.
