Zach, its literally like my 04 Focus ran into my 16 Explorer and the mash-up was a Flex. Maybe you would had to own both to know what I mean. It handles like a go-cart. So flat and smooth with zero body roll through tight curves. I bet the EcoBoost version with a tune and 3 bar map sensor would be a total blast!! For some reason this looks "mean" to me seeing my wife come up the road in it. Stance is perfect and these wheels look so good.

Literally wore my arms out today. Gave the Flex a full detail, inside, outside, door jambs and engine bay. Thank goodness for a DA buffer.

My old man just got a flex, and although i love the looks for the most part inside and out, there is something about the center stack that i just hate, maybe its too simple IDK. on a separate note, what wax did you use for the wheels? anything special?

Collinite 845 is all I use for wax. Everything on the center stack is also on the SYNC2 screen.

The Flex sure looks good, Summers. Like I said, you're a virtuoso!

The Flex is truly a unique vehicle nothing else much like it on the road.

I can see why you needed the stubby. That looks like a tight fit going in the garage.

Thanks guys. Made it a little more unique today. Added Navigation the the SYNC2, and used Forscan to enable nav, plus nav in motion, bambi mode and 6 flashes with turn signal. Just ordered a A7 nav card after testing it with my daughters nav card.

Thanks Scorge, I like it. Got Husky mats, hatch trim and glove box door deliveries today. Gotta get home and install it all. Still have ambient lighting, cupholder lighting and led heads/fogs on the way.
