(I'm 57.) But I kind of like to read about new ones, because in 7-8 years I may just get a second-hand one of these. :-) I’ve never owned a new car in my life, and probably won’t. (I’m 57.)

My hubby did the IP integration and the front console on the Flex! He hopes you like it! :) Personally, I agree - it looks like a giant toaster (that's the BEST description I've heard yet!) ... but the inside is SWEET and VERY comfy. Wish I could afford one ;) Glad you had fun with it! It really is a great vehicle for those in the market! Hey Mir! My hubby did the IP integration and the front console on the Flex!

The nearest I can tell, they are very similar. Mine is the top of the line (bought used) but with no backup cam (has the back up beeps~LOVE IT), and the GPS is not voice activated. My GPS does recalculate if I make a wrong turn. So I guess my point is~if you like the Flex, look at a used Freestyle, and you might come out a whole lot better on price! The one thing I didn't want on the car (DVD player) I discovered on a 6 hour trip to Hilton Head with a 1 year old, that Elmo for 6 hours can be wonderful! Well, not as bad as the alternative!

I actually find it has pep and handling so maybe they've come aways from when you had it. The Flex sounds nice, but the look on the outside is hard for me to take in...

Not in the market for a "new" car just yet, but as a mother or 4 this looks like it might be a nice option. We own 2 minivan's now, and it would be nice to own something else. We will check it out this summer. Thanks again. Thanks Mir. Not in the market for a “new” car just yet, but as a mother or 4 this looks like it might be a nice option.
