Ford Flex?
Anyone have one or know anything about one? We are in the market for an 8-seater and we are investigating both minivan and crossover options. TIA.

This website is excellent. Most people are happy with their cars for the first couple of years, but then the lemons start to surface...

Have you read the G.M Ford series with sm
Frank Corso? His very last book "Blown Away" was a cliffhanger, too. I keep looking to see if there is sequal to it, but I fear there isn't one. His other books were fantastic but that last book left me feeling like I need to write the author and beg him to publish a sequel so I know what happens to the main character. Just a warning, if you decide to read his books, read "Blown Away" last.

I drove Ford pickups most of my life, but - sm
I got tired of the fact that the danged things don't steer well. They all have steering-gear problems. Each of my trucks ended up having anywhere from 2-4 new or rebuilt gears put in during my ownership, and they still were next to impossible to drive in a straight line. Getting parts was a pain too, as often you had to know the month the vehicle was built in order to get the right part. Simple do-it-yourself work often had to go to the shop instead, because of the difficulty of accessing the area without taking half of the front end apart. So of course the shop bills were high, too. It became increasingly difficult to get parts after the truck was 5 or 6 years old, and I drove most of mine for 12+ years.
So when it was time for a new car, I wanted a midsize SUM. I did my homework, and chose a 4Runner because of the quality & favorable consumer reports. I couldn't afford a new one, so got a used one that was 5 years old. I'm still driving it, loving it, and it's like they say in the Timex watch commercials: 'It takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'!'
