The Flex has many big crossover rivals, and some have its crowd-pleasing features if not its quirky panache.
The Buick Enclave has its own curvaceous charm, but its V-6 is throatier and its cabin isn’t quite as nicely trimmed as that in the Ford.
The Honda Pilot used to be our no-brainer recommendation, but the latest version has traded a glassy cabin and high-dollar trim for trucky styling and huge sheets of tacky, grainy plastic on the dash.
A functional trump card would be the Chrysler Town & Country; the Flex oozes sophistication by comparison, but the minivan’s sliding side doors make better sense if carpooling is job one.
And if you’re contemplating the $55,000 sticker on a Flex Platinum, you may as well cross-shop a Range Rover Sport.
It’s nowhere near as convenient or reliable, but the swagger’s all there.
