Review: 2009 Ford Flex Test | Photos | Video | Page 6 of 9 | Next>> _1_1.jpg)
Driving north out of New York City..., the Flex demonstrated reasonable acceleration, and its handling was about as sprightly as one expects in a two-ton car. Ride is supple and controlled with minimal lean or fuss in turns, but the long wheelbase and mass are natural deterrents to any boy-racer inclinations. So is the transmission, the selector for which offers only "D" and "L."
