WHAT A FUN UNIQUE SUV - SUPER ROOMY & COMFORTABLE TO DRIVE - 1 OWNER - FLORIDA DRIVEN CLEAN CARFAX 2012 FORD FLEX TITANIUM 6 PASSENGER - NAVIGATION - MICROSOFT SYNC - LEATHER - VISTA ROOF - MORE!

This Ford Flex is a really cool vehicle - surprising actually. It's nicely package with features including driver information system, touch screen radio and climate controls, steering wheel controls for the cruise, hands free calling and audio system, power options package including windows, locks, driver's seat and mirrors, rear door child safety locks, air bag safety and so so much more!

This Flex is a Florida driven, Florida maintained vehicle and has never been exposed to the harsh winters, roads, mountains, or overall harsh conditions of up north driving.

Vehicle Overview

This Flex is one of Ford's entries in the three-row crossover segment, which includes models like the Mazda CX-9 and Chevrolet Traverse. This Flex comes standard with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine and is front--wheel drive. It can seat up to six people.

New for 2012
Roof rack side rails are now available with the optional multipanel Vista Roof panoramic moonroof.

Exterior
In contrast to many crossovers, which are moving away from the boxy designs that defined truck-based SUVs for years, the Flex's styling embraces the box.

This Flex rides relatively low to the ground and has an upright three-bar grille. Its roof pillars are finished in piano black, which gives the roof a floating appearance. The grille, roof, side mirrors and liftgate have either a black chrome or black paint treatment. Exterior features include:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Fog lamps
  • Power mirrors
  • Keypad security door system
  • Powered liftgate
  • Vista Roof moonroof


Interior
This Flex has captain's chairs, it can seat six, respectively. The Limited has leather-trimmed seats. The second row folds and tumbles to make room to get into the third row.

There's a well behind the third row that gives this Flex more cargo room. The third-row seat folds backward into the well when it isn't in use, creating a flat load floor. Interior features include:

  • Leather seating
  • Metallic trim
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Air conditioning with front and rear controls
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter
  • Steering wheel with cruise and audio controls


Under the Hood
This Flex comes standard with a 3.5-liter V-6 paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.

This Flex uses a capless fueling system designed to reduce emissions from evaporating gas during fill-ups. Mechanical features include:

  • 262-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 with 248 pounds-feet of torque
  • Six-speed automatic transmission
  • Front-wheel drive
  •  


Safety
This Ford Flex comes standard with MyKey, which allows owners to limit top speed, add extra seat belt warnings and limit the volume of the car stereo for drivers using a specific key. Safety features include:

  • Front-seat side-impact airbags
  • Side curtain airbags
  • Rear parking sensors
  • Antilock brakes
  • Traction control
  • Electronic stability system with Roll Stability Control
  •

Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
