TERRIBLE car! I expected something that drove like our Australian Ford XR6 Sports sedan - it was more like a dinghy in a choppy sea - hopeless. So for the second half of the trip, Calgary to Victoria BC via Prince Rupert, we got the only thing left apart from the second Marquis we had booked - a Taurus X. I really liked it; it handled well and was comfortable and responsive, lots of room and good fuel economy. I hope the Flex is as good.

You can't take a car thats been around forever, and has forever exisited as a sedan and then one day just wham look at my taurus SUV, what the hell were they thinking. I've seen like three and each time from far away i go oh its just another ford escape, or expedition. but nope upon closer inspection its one of those stupid cross-overs but they didn't change the name. thats what bothers me the most is that they made a vechicle which looks completely different from the original yet named it after the original only within the space of like 4 years. thank you god, finally some sense. i was driving one day when i first saw it and i had to do a double take, which angered my mother sitting next to me, not until i explained it to her though.
