you can't compare the extreme hideousness of the aztec to the meh styling of the flex. I will agree the flex is not beautiful but it's also not butt ugly

Wait for the EcoBoost motor? More power with better mileage?

I disagree. The aztek was horrid. This thing is kind of odd looking, but in an interesting way.

I think the mileage is comparable to similar people haulers.
It is - I don't know why people keep mentioning low mpg with the Flex when its competition is in the same range.

Inside Line has over 25,000 miles on a Flex and they love the thing.

They've averaged nearly 20 mpg with is crazy good for something with that much utility. If I had 2 or more kids plus a dog this would be the first vehicle I test drove.

[QUOTE=zachismisitok,Jun 5 2009, 07:19 AM] well, if the sub par gas mileage doesn't deter you, I say go for it.

I never really liked the way the Flex looked but it's supposed to be really good. I personally like the the Ford Edge more but I think it's more expensive.
