Five-Point Inspection: 2013 Ford Flex Limited AWD

2: Loaded with useful tech

This Flex isn’t just performance oriented, it’s also surprisingly well equipped, with great technology everywhere you look. A car this big benefits greatly from aids like blind-spot assist and rear-view camera for moving the car around town.

When you get on the highway, the Flex manages quite well thanks to its adaptive cruise-control that accelerates and decelerates based on the car in front of you. Sadly, it won’t stop for you, but it does emit a loud beep reminding you to take control of the vehicle. If you don’t, there’s also an obnoxious collision alert system that ensures you’ll panic.
