Ford Flex
A lot has been written about the Flex! Its ninety-degree lines and size make this crossover vehicle some kind of modern interpretation of the minivan. Depending on the equipment selection, the Flex offers six or seven places, which isn’t surprising if we consider its huge interior space. For several months now, the 262 horsepower 3.5-litre V6 is offered alongside the very contemporary 355 horsepower 3.5-litre Ecoboost V6, an almost frugal double turbo engine!
