Buying the 2014 Ford Flex
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2014 Ford Flex; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is what to know about the 2014 Ford Flex before buying one.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. NHTSA has 249 owner complaints on file, mostly about steering, electrical system and fuel/propulsion system.
Specs, explained
The 3.5L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated 11.6 L/100 km combined: about 35 litres every 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $17.98 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,350 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Room inside
As a full-size SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Who it is for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
A longer test drive
Rent the Flex for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Flex answers the big questions.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.98 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
