If uniquely designed, individualistic vehicles are your cup of tea, consider the 2012 Ford Flex, available from AZ Car Central. This affordable midsize SUV crossover is an excellent option for anyone who craves personalized style in a family-friendly vehicle. Ford Flex reviews praise the SUV's unique styling. "The Flex manages all the usual child-corralling, boat-towing feats but still looks contrarian enough to drive while wearing hipster glasses," states Automobile Magazine. The Dodge Durango, Honda Odyssey, Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Tahoe can't beat the seven-passenger SUV when it comes to the 2012 Flex's lightning quick speed, matchless style and incomparable quality.

The 2012 Ford Flex is available in four different trim levels for the model year: the Flex SE, Flex SEL, Flex Limited and the Flex Titanium. The Flex also comes in a wide array of colors including: Red Candy Metallic, Dark Blue Pearl, Ginger Ale, Cinnamon, Black and Ingot Silver.
All of the 2012 trim levels at AZ Car Central come specially equipped with the programmable MyKey, a device designed with younger drivers in mind. The MyKey mutes the vehicle's audio system until safety belts are buckled, displays warning chimes for low fuel alerts and features programmable speed settings and visual warning alerts.
Two of this year's trim levels offer an optional 3.5-liter EcoBoost turbo-charged engine with 355 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. The powerful V6 EcoBoost is designed to produce a cooler, denser charge that generates more power per every drop of fuel. The boost from the twin turbochargers provides the enhanced performance you'd expect from a higher displacement engine, giving you the power of a V8 with the fuel economy of a V6. Check out the EcoBoost engine in the Limited and Titanium trim levels today.
Most 2012 Flex models come standard with SYNC, the in-car connectivity system that Phoenix Ford drivers have quickly come to love. SYNC allows you to easily operate the most popular MP3 players and Bluetooth-enabled phones with simple voice commands. SYNC's Health Report allows you to create a personalized online report of your vehicle's diagnostics. The system also includes traffic directions and information, making your next trip easier and more enjoyable.
All 2012 Ford Flex SUVs include AdvanceTrac with the Roll Stability Control system. AdvanceTrac is the industry's only electronic stability control system that uses two gyroscopic sensors to monitor both yaw rate and roll rate. This allows AdvanceTrac with RSC to help you maintain control whenever it detects wheelslip, understeer, oversteer or roll motion. Curve Control will automatically slow the vehicle down if it senses that the vehicle is going too fast for a particular curve, giving you greater control and stability, even on rough roads.
The base model for 2012 is the Flex SE, a strikingly original SUV with a great number standard features and comfort amenities. It features 17-inch painted aluminum wheels and BSW tires, cloth first- and second-row seats, front and rear climate control and Flex AWD. A 3.5-liter DOHC Duratec V6 engine drives the Flex SE, and the power rack-and pinion steering system insures smooth curves and a delightful ride. The exterior of the SE features a unique tri-bar chrome grille and gorgeous polished dual exhaust tips, as well as the Ford Mono-Tone Roof or the optional, stylishly distinctive Flex Two-Tone Roof.
Phoenix Ford Flex shoppers will also love the well-equipped 2012 SEL trim. Its highlights include dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control and an AM/FM six-speaker stereo system with six-disc CD player and MP3 capability. The Flex SEL contains SIRIUS Satellite Radio, heated power mirrors with body-color skull caps and a beautiful wood grain appearance application on the instrument panel and door inserts. Additionally, muscular 18-inch machined aluminum wheels with BSW complete the SEL's commanding presence.
High technology meets high style with the fun-to-drive 2012 Ford Flex Limited trim level. This capable SUV features: a Sony 12-speaker audio system, Ford Voice Activated Navigation, SIRIUS Travel Link System, HID headlamps, LED tail lamps, ambient lighting, perforated leather-trimmed first and second-row seats, and 19-inch polished aluminum wheels with BSW tires. Consider a 2012 Flex Limited in vivid colors such as Ingot Silver, Tuxedo Black and Red Candy.
Debuting just last year on the 2011 Ford Flex, the luxurious Titanium is the newest trim level in the Flex series. This SUV features many of the Limited's standard options, but includes a few extras to make this vehicle a truly dazzling piece of work. The Titanium's interior highlights charcoal black leather-trimmed first and second-row seats with grey Alcantara Suede inserts. A stunning circle check application adorns the IP and door inserts. The Ford Flex Titanium's exterior features illuminated scuff plates with stainless steel accents, a black painted roof and 20-inch polished aluminum wheels with BSW tires.
When it comes to independence, style and legendary Ford toughness, the 2012 Ford Flex is at the top of the list. After driving one you'll see why Kelley Blue Book's Ford Flex review states that you "might even have to wrestle your teenagers for driving privileges."
