Already Replaced Left TurboSource: Edmunds...I owned many Honda & Acura and one Volvo. I always despite the Ford products because of safety issues. I never felt more safe in that box! The front brakes are kinda weird when humidity is high or wet. I average about 18 - 19 mpg with the A/C on, and about 20 - 21 mpg when A/C is off. At 22500 miles I had to replace the left turbo (leaked oil), an A/C line and a radiator shroud (technician broke it while trying to reassemble the turbo.) I have been using Mobil 1 full synthetic oil since the 2nd oil change. Fortunately my Ford dealer is nice... |

Why should I also consider these?
The Honda Pilot, probably the most direct rival to the Flex, was redesigned last year, gaining a large, controversial grille to go with much thicker styling.
But the Pilot, in the opinion of TheCarConnection.com, has a cluttered interior with too much plastic.
The Chevrolet Traverse is a great alternative, but it feels bigger than the Flex and there isn't quite as much vertical space in the cabin.
The Traverse also suffers from a hesitant transmission.
The plush, quiet Hyundai Veracruz is a softer-styled alternative to the Flex; it offers good V-6 power and third-row seating, but it's certainly not as distinctive.
Finally, we throw in a minivan for good measure; the Nissan Quest is by far the most stylish of them.
