5 cars to keep your New Year's resolutions

5 cars to ring in the new year right
Ford Flex SE
  • Ford Flex SE

  • Price: $30,885
  • Resolution: Take a road trip with the family car
  • Gas mileage:
    • City - 18 mpg
    • Highway - 25 mpg

A common resolution at the beginning of a new year is to set aside more family time to take that cross-country trip you always talked about. If you own a Ford Flex, chances are a driving vacation will be that much easier.

The 3.5-liter six-cylinder Ford Flex not only has room for seven but fits your passengers in comfort thanks to its best-in-class second- and third-row legroom and optional second-row refrigerated console.

Safety won't be a concern driving long distances, thanks to the Flex's Blind Spot Information System, which alerts you to cars in your blind spot, and its collision warning with break support that warns you if it senses a potential collision with the car in front of you.

Don't want your road trip ruined by a constant chorus of "are we there yet"? Then you'll appreciate the Flex's Sony audio system that comes equipped with 12 speakers, including an optional subwoofer, the audio/video input jacks and Wi-Fi capability.
