  1. After LGT wagon, I got into a Ford Flex EcoBoost for a little while Now driving a 2011 M3 sedan Tired of turbos
  2. Dad of many kids chiming in. I went from LGT 5EAT wagon (crashed), to a Ford Flex EcoBoost which is absolutely fantastic car for sooooo many reasons. But not an enthusiast's car. But then! I found out right before school year I don't have to drive morning carpool for at least another year and a half Planning on E90 M3 sedan, auto (heavy Miami traffic) ... probably without EDC

  4. I went from an 05 LGT 5EAT wagon to a twin turbo v6 Ford Flex and damn am I pleased. That thing moves like h*** for a 5,000lb shoebox Wonderful car! except the (actual) engine note is awful. Exhaust is fine but quiet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Yeah the biggest surprise every single day I climb into it is the handling I just did a little research on the Sync 3 upgrade, looks easy enough DIY but pricey. $2100 at 4dtech am I right?
  6. Agreed Not terrible, but not sold. I haven't enjoyed Infiniti driving dynamics each time I've tried them
  7. All the stats in the world wouldn't convince me into a BRZ, but, to each his own I guess. In any case no one cross shops a BRZ and a Flex. I like my rye bread in five secs or less Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I am a Subaru fan 100%, but I think my toaster can outrun a BRZ Balanced, but ... gutless Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I read a hundred reviews. I get the theory. I even admire what they accomplished. But I do not like the BRZ ... at all Give me a ragged old S2000 that revs to 9,000 any day over a BRZ! In a two-car Dad garage, I was contemplating: put the main cash on the people mover (flex, Tahoe etc) and scrape together a ragged old weekend toy (s2000, old wrx)? Or the reverse? In the end, I don't want / can't maintain the hassle of two cars, so I went with the one quick everything-car Not disappointed although I can sniff a manual Corvette down the road Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. hmm if I factor in all of the mods in three n a half years, then yeah take my money. But a regular joe driving his old legacy, is it really so different than another ten yr old Japanese car? what are you referring to? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. True. My mother has a new Outback, fantastic car for what it does. But waaaay smaller than a Flex. FWIW the lack of power in the BRZ was a deal breaker and anyway I like the wrx 1,000 times more I would have considered waiting for the Subaru Ascent, but then I heard which engine!!! Seriously?

  12. You're right some of the interior plastics are indeed cheap feeling. But there are also enough high quality materials and excellent feel to switchgear to compensate. That, and using the thing, as a tool, is super impressive people N stuff mover I haven't seen the new Highlander interior Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. You make it sound so easy n cheap! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
