The Lincoln MKS is a beautifully apportioned car and very easy to drive – effortless really. Roomy, pretty, well-appointed as a Lincoln should be, my favorite attribute was the Ford SYNC voice recognition system. I liked the ability to very, very easily sync my iPhone with the voice management system and to toggle back and forth from my music library to NPR on the radio. Bluetooth pairing was effortless and I could easily become addicted to the handsfree voice-activated controls.

Here’s the main thing about the Flex: It really is the best of all worlds. I’ve driven small cars, medium cars, and even a minivan before. I like the feel of a small car, but you can’t tote very much stuff or many people in one. And I loved the capacity I had with my minivan, but the handling wasn’t great. The car I drive now is a mid-size, and I can carry a lot of stuff (though not a lot of people), but it’s not particularly fun to drive. The Flex, though, is—dare I say this about such a square, manly vehicle?—downright peppy. You step on the gas and it goes. It really does handle like a much smaller car. And the traction control meant that even in the rain I never felt the slightest hint of slippage.

Ford's 2010 Fusion Hybrid delivers the goods: * It meets my minimum standard for high fuel efficiency for a family car by getting 37 mpg on the highway, 41 in the city, and 39 mpg overall, goals achieved thanks to the car's gasoline engine boosted by an electric battery. * It's roomy enough to seat three adults comfortably in the back, for total seating capacity of 5 overall.

After the car was dropped off, I asked a couple people in the office to come check out the MKS. Both were impressed with the stance of the car. “It looks mean. Look at that grill, it’s a BEAST”, said one of them. The other said, “Wow, it’s not what I expected.” Read into those comments all you want, but I was equally impressed when I first saw the MKS.

After driving this MKS for a few days now, I can see that Lincoln is working on building a product that younger folks would be interested in. The car was feature laden, and for a gadget guy like me, that’s tasty fun.

I suspected that the Flex might be the Holy Grail of Dadmobiles - a family car designed with BOTH parents in mind; functional, and not a complete embarrassment to drive. To test this hypothesis, Beth and I put the Flex through a grueling series of road tests.

During the kids’ spring break week, Ford Motor Company lent me a Ford Flex to try out and review. I used a own a Ford Tempo years ago(like in the last century before the Internet was around) so I was curious to see what Ford was up to.

For a car that is supposed to breathe new life into the Lincoln brand and bridge the mid-sized luxury sedan gap in their line-up, the MKS is aesthetically at a great start. The rear of the car was an instant hit with me.

Again, I love Ford. I like the feeling of being in a car made here. The fact that the new hybrids pollute less, tugs at my heartstrings. These are progressive treats that make things feel hopeful for our world. The hybrid starts on a battery and hums when turned on. I liked the safety features (backup projection with alarm, side view mirror signals to assist with the blind spot.) There is a flower icon on the dash that grows greener as your fuel efficiency improves (we took a 3 hour trip and averaged 37 mph.) The interior is “eco-responsible” and was one of my biggest interests since I love fabric and learning how things are made.
