What to check on the Flex

What the specs mean
The 3.5L 6-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Combined fuel use is 11.8 L/100 km: about 35 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $54.87 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,350 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Living with the Flex
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
When the Flex makes sense
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Rent it for a week first
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A test week in the Flex tells you more than any review. Rent the Flex for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2010 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
