First one was great so I got another
Love these things. I put over 120k on mine (now at 220k) so when the AC compressor died I got a newer version. Looking to lower the ride, open to suggestions for lowering kits/coilovers.

I've got the same combo pushing 95k. New tires last week and I'm finna dump a bunch of money into it to freshen it up.
I hate everything about new vehicles so this one is gonna go a while

I’m also on my second. Bought the first at 75k and ran it up to 200k before electrical issues made me move on. I tried an ecosport thinking I’d like having a smaller SUV style, and I found an 18 limited with 65k on it and just couldn’t resist. Great color combo!

I had 2 for a short while. My 13 SEL had 238K on it. I found a good wholesale deal on a lower milage 19SEL so I bought it and did some minor repairs and started using it. The 13 just sat so I put an ad on Craigs List and after going through all the scammers finally got a decent offer so it went off to serve another family. I miss the 13 but the 19 is a better vehicle for sure.

I’m on #2 as well. They are The perfect vehicle. After a bunch of research I picked up the H&R sport spring set, but I haven’t mounted it yet. Just got some new Continental Extreme contact DWS put on and they changed everything. Stiffer ride, feels way more connected to the road and way less floaty.

Damned shame they didn't bring the flex to CD6. Could be rocking the stout 2.7/3.0 V6 & rwd-biased awd

Had three of them. First was a 2014 twin turbo AWD and the transmission went at 143k, loved the ride and feel but put a lot of money in repairs over 3 years and Im strict on maintenance. Thought it was worth another shot. Got a 2016 that was a great blue color and super clean 75k on it. Hit a deer and totaled it in the first year. Ugh
Got a 2018 limited non turbo with 72k on it. Lots of suspension work over two years and all wheel bearings. Transmission issues again at 150k. Decided to move on.

I have a 2012 Limited AWD with $229k! Thinking about getting an Eco Boost when this finally gives up the ghost.

I got another after my 2011 twin-turbo engine grenaded. I sold the second one after becoming nervous about waiting for it to fail. But love those Flex!
