TCC’s Bottom Line

Boring isn't in its vocabulary: the 2014 Ford Flex makes owning a family wagon a statement of style.

The Toyota Sienna only comes up shy in fold-away second-row seats and gas mileage; otherwise it's a leader in power and durability.

TCC Likes

Urbane, mid-mod look
Rush of turbocharged power
Supple, comfortable seats

A handsome minivan
Handling above par for class
Choice in second row: bench or chair

TCC Dislikes

Back seats not so easy to reach
Touchscreen controls tough to grok
Pricey as a Platinum or Limited

Second-row seats slide, fold, don't stow
Gets expensive quickly
