2009 Ford Flex LTD AWD
Editors' rating: 4
The good: With Ford's full tech package, including Sync and navigation with Sirius Travel Link, the 2009 Ford Flex offers the most cutting-edge cabin tech available. The Sony sound system is a nice addition, as is the rear seat refrigerator.
The bad: Gas mileage isn't all it could be, and the driving experience is a little bland, although some people will prefer that in a cruiser like the Flex.
The bottom line: With its unique looks, excellent cabin tech, and spacious interior, the 2009 Ford Flex makes for a family vacation cruiser that you can be proud of.
