2011 ford flex Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...It produces 355 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic with manual shift control are standard.

2011 Ford Flex Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Luckily, my 10-year-old sister was limber enough to climb over the car seats and basically fall into the third row. I couldn't imagine having anyone older than 10 or without a sense of humor use the third row with my car seats blocking access to it. While my car seats thwarted most of the Flex's seating configurations, they're still worth mentioning.

2011 Ford Flex Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...At lower speeds, many drivers will want more power assist.
