			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ford is taking a bold move with the new <a href="http://www.ford.com/vehicles/vehicle-showroom#/crossovers/ford-flex-2009">2009 Ford Flex</a>, being one of it&#8217;s many new crossover designs. The idea behind a crossover SUV is to handle and perform like a car, while providing the room and style of an SUV. Despite their appearance, off-roading is generally not recommended. However, when looking for a unique combination of power, control, and headroom, <a href="http://www.cincinnatiforddealerspecials.com/">Cincinnati Ford dealers</a> believes you need not look further.</p>
<p><strong>The Interior</strong></p>
<p>The 2009 Ford Flex is a seven-passenger CUV with adjustable and removable rear seats, allowing for plenty of storage room. There are many available options including Ford&#8217;s new voice-activated communications and entertainment system, Ford-Sync. There is also an option to have an interior mini-refrigerator in the middle console. There is a Vista roof for skylight, and programmable interior mood-lighting, giving your drive a sense of style, whether in <a href="http://www.cincinnatiforddealerquotes.com/">Cincinnati</a>, New York, or anywhere.</p>
<p><strong>Safety<br />
</strong></p>
<p>The Flex comes standard with Ford&#8217;s AdvanceTrac traction control system which assists driver control in times of emergency, even going as far as preventing rolls. There is also the option of all-wheel-drive, and a backup camera, which ties into the navigation system.</p>
<p><strong>Powertrain</strong></p>
<p>The 2009 Ford Flex comes standard with a 3.5 L V6 engine capable of up to 262 horsepower, paired with a 6 Speed 6F Automatic Transmission, allowing towing of up to 4,500 pounds.</p>
<p>Reviews seem to be generally positive among the press. Many praise Ford&#8217;s bold  and high quality design choice, and are pleased with the available Ford Sync. Yet  many also criticize it&#8217;s limited cargo space in comparison to other crossovers, and raise issues about the steering wheel not telescoping. Overall this proves as another <a href="http://www.beechmontfordblog.com">solid Ford design</a>, and we should be seeing more of it in future years.<br />
