| Available Features of the Ford Flex: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD |
It seems to me that the interior and exterior materials are good quality |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic AWD |
Quality. Top notch fits. No more cheap materials. Quality controls. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Ford Flex: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 355hp 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
fit of front bumper, dash, trim moulding. materials feel cheap |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic AWD |
The one and only complaint with the Flex was with the dash and door panel material. The top of the dash looked like a cheap grade of plastic and there were too many textures side by side on the door panels. Other than that it seemed to be very well made. |
What Our Members Are Saying about Mazda CX-9 Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Mazda CX-9: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
It seems to be assembled well and some care was put into long term use of the vehicle. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Mazda CX-9: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
paint gets scrached too easily. even my 3 yr kids hand nails can take out the paint |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
some cheap interior plastic that scraps very easily |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Fit and finish were substandard for a vehicle in the price range of the Grand Touring. There were gaps and uncovered screws. Leather felt like vinyl. |
