Not a fan of the Explorers. The facelift made them a lot better but they are still disproportionately large and bulbous looking.
The rear seats in the Flex are the best reason to buy the Flex. The Flex is huge though. When we took one home for an overnight test drive I knew it wasn't going to work the moment I started driving through our neighborhood. My wife has already crashed into or been crashed into in the i3 like 5 times. The Flex would have been DESTROYED.
