Fusion Hybrid
Big cars scare me, and while the Flex is gorgeous, I have to stick with a smaller (and for my family) more practical car.
Ford Flex hands down!
It has to be the Flex because I'm on the look out for a dependable vehicle that can fit my family of 6 with low gas mileage! The Flex looks incredible for what it has to offer and when we're ready to buy another vehicle, it is one that I'm seriously considering. I love the sporty appeal too! The other two look nice too, but I can't fit my family in them so the Flex is the one I would have to go with.
My cousin just replaced her
My cousin just replaced her H3 with a Ford Flex upon arrival of baby #2. When I saw the vehicle, I was amazed at how big it felt inside. And it's cushy... my husband compared it to the luxury plushness of the Lincoln Town Car he used to drive for work. She said the stadium style back row don't make you feel like you're riding in the trunk (as some SUVs and Mini Vans make you feel).
I've heard great things about all three vehicles but if I had to pick one, the Flex.

Because I need to "Escape"
:)..I would take this SUV just because we like everything BIGGER, and we are not even from Texas!
My dog is big, my ice chest is big, our river toys are all big because I hate to take the air out, even my purse is always BIG. This would be the perfect replacement for our family car, which is BIG, but not at all as efficient and green as the Escape.
I would take that little baby under my wings, and let it rip on road towards whatever destination this SMALL family is pulled to!

The Escape is perfect
I have a tiny fuel efficient car and I can't haul anything in it! The fuel efficient Escape would be perfect for hauling everything from my son and his stuff to college to the things I get from Craigslist.
Flex it!
We got rid of our old Jeep a year ago, and now with a little one, the Jetta we have is too small. The flex looks like it can handle what we need in a car
The Escape Hybrid, For The Win!
Like most families in this economy, we are living as frugally as we can right now. With 3 growing boys (and having been through a layoff and a period of unemployment already this year before, thankfully, or breadwinner got re-employed) we are counting our blessings and making the most with what we have. We're also doing our best to be environmentally friendly: shopping local whenever we can, switching to cloth diapers for our baby, and eschewing plastic water bottles for re-usable stainless steel ones.
Taking all of that into consideration, we knew this year's family vacation would be a road trip. The Escape Hybrid would be the perfect size to fit our family of 5, and the per-gallon gas mileage blows our current mini-van's 18mpg out of the water. I also love the idea of environmentally-friendly fabrics and soy foam for the seating! Basically the Escape Hybrid would be our perfect car. I can only imagine that road-tripping in it would make an economically cautious vacation feel a whole lot more luxe.

This California Girl
This California girl would love to take the Escape Hybrid for a road trip. Plenty of room for all my shoes and dresses!
But, honestly, the Flex and the Fusion look wonderful, too!

I'd LOVE to Escape with the Escape ANYDAY!

Ohhh, the Fusion, Indeed
I am shamefully admitting that my current vehicle is a gas chugging mid-size SUV. What can I say, I feel safer on the road in a bigger car. But the last few times my hubby and I went on vacation, we rented sedans, and I must say that I think my next vehicle will be some sexy little car.
And the Fusion has me intrigued, especially that incredibly alluring 41 mpg. Because there's nothing more attractive, or seductive, on a car than its mpg!

The Flex
As a family man, I really like it because it looks like a marriage between a station wagon, and a European sports car. Perfect for a road trip with the wife and kids, and the dog, and the cooler, and the suitcases, and the tent, and the sleeping bags, and all the bags of stuff the girls pick up on the way....
Re-Flex-Flex-Flex-Flex-Flex-Flex
Getting beyond the 80's song now running through my mind in three... two... one.
There are often seven passengers in our van. The Ford Flex is the natural choice for me. If I am going to test drive something, it should be something I might buy in the future, right? I've had minivans since 1993.
I've been a fan of the road trip as long as I can remember. There is something so fun about piling in the car and watching the scenery change as you drive by. The family is a captive audience in the car, too. It's as good as being around the dinner table. Laughter, singing, sharing stories.
Sometimes I still do drive around the little traffic circle near our house repeatedly just so we can finish listening to a song on the radio or have the rest of a conversation. When the kids were little I would sit at the end of the driveway, refusing to pull into the garage until everyone decided to "Happy up" if they were fussing with each other. The family car is a wonderful thing.

I still want the Escape today
Even the name appeals to me. I spend an obscene amount of my life in a cubicle. I could load my bike in the Escape and get away from the city. It would be wonderfu.
And for my last entry... the Escape again!
Gas prices are going up again, but I miss having a bigger vehicle. The Escape looks like the perfect answer.
Flex for me!
The Flex looks awesome and I would feel I am doing my part for the enviroment.Plenty of room and stylish. I enjoy shopping ,adding the bags to the back would be easy,seating for 7 I could take everyone so we would be using 1 car.

the Fusion Hybrid, great
the Fusion Hybrid, great mileage
Esacpe Hybrid
I was going to say Flex, but honestly depending on how far your driving , we have to pick the most fuel efficient. Go with the Esacpe!
Stop over and see what "The Break Room" is all about!

FORD ESCAPE FOR SERVICE DOGS
Without a doubt being a long time Ford user I woud defintely go with the Escape. I have 2 chocolate standard Poodles who are my Service Dogs and with the Escape they would have plenty of room to be comfortable but also more importantly travel safe in. With the escape being fuel efficient I would not have to choose which dog to take with me while traveling on the road I could easliy take both. Its like having your cake and eating it as well. What could be better. Its a win win situation. FORD, FUEL EFFICIENT, ROOMY, COMFORT, BOTH MY SDs and the road ahead of us. That is a dream come true.
