Sorry to the OP. If your wife likes it, that's all that counts.
Only thing. The Scion will hold its value waaaaaayyyyyy longer. And last longer.

First, I'm not trying to be mean or rude. That's not me. But it's a Toyota. I consistently see Toyota's with over 400,000 km on them. Unfortunately I am unable to say that about the domestic market in general. I have noticed that they(the Flex) aren't selling too well up here. We always joke that the local funeral homes are gonna buy them up for Hursts.

Oh it's a Toyota, no way a Ford could last as long as a Toyota. Gimme a break

1rnkpny · October 16th, 2009, 10:57 PM

I'm not saying that. Domestics last, but I can honestly say that I haven't seen too many with even 300,000km on them. Maybe it's because alot of domestic owners don't think of the maintenance or preventative maintenance, like import owners do. And I'll give you a break Redfire

06RedfireGT · October 16th, 2009, 11:01 PM

Eh, you drive a v6, so your opinion doesn't matter

Genevieve! · October 16th, 2009, 11:02 PM

Really? I've seen ONLY domestic cars with over 300k Miles, I've never seen a toyota or honda with that many miles on it, and I live in the LAND of foreign cars.

I'm surprised Arnold allows that down there. 300,000 mile, really? That has to be with about 10 engines deep for the domestic line

. Didn't he want to put filters on cows asses to stop the methane from escaping. Hahahahaha. Then again, there doesn't seem to be alot of rust down there. So even pieces of crap have a chance to survive.

Genevieve! · October 17th, 2009, 12:16 AM

oh yeah thats right I forgot that toyotas don't rust. . . . . hmm.

1rnkpny · October 17th, 2009, 02:18 AM

I was surprised in general how good of condition the vehicles were when I was in Cali last. I'm talkin all makes now.

Genevieve! · October 17th, 2009, 02:26 AM

well, we get a little corrosion if you live really close to the Ocean, and in northern CA , where it snows, They don't use salt on the road anymore, so the cars don't rust nearly as bad as they used to.

1rnkpny · October 17th, 2009, 02:30 AM

We were in San Fran. I know inland is abit more dry. At least our cars won't rust like up in the Detroit/Toronto areas. Rust is absolutely brutal up there.

TheUNZippee! · October 17th, 2009, 06:57 AM

Nice. I like the flex a lot. It's a great vehicle.

Agree with the sentiment. I also saw one. Went by my dealer last week to ask him if he knew of any good places to find 4x4 beaters before I found the Explorer, and there was a brand new SHO sitting outside.

Fucking tremendous machine.

360+ TT horsepower, AWD, paddle shift, heated leather, nav, roomy.... amazing car.

To compare a Flex to a Scion on reliability is sort of silly don't you think? The Scion has been out since when 2003 or so? The Flex just came out. Find me a Flex that has over 100k on the clock. You won't, not cause it's broke down, but because it's a new car. I'm not trying to convince myself that the car I bought is great. I know that. Beside's compared to a Scion, this Flex is way more car. And come on, the only thing the 2 have in common is the shape, that's it. The Flex replaced the Taurus X and the Freestyle before that.

You and your wife like the Flex. That's all that counts.
