  • Great car! - 2006 Ford Freestyle
    By -

    I had the first year Windstar, and we traded it in on the last year Ford made Windstar. We traded that Windstar in on the Freestyle this year. Im a mother of two teenagers. And we are all comfortable in it along with dog, husband and stuff. I especially think this time the overall quality seems superior to the Windstar. The Freestyle feels more solid, safe, and still is a kick to drive. I like it on the highway and found that if I really needed to accelerate, the car would for me.

    New Freestyle is a welcome change from driving a Ford Explorer. Vehicle handles well. Engine is a bit noisy on acceleration then levels out when highway driving. Lots of room, plenty of cargo space, better gas mileage than an Explorer.

  • Fun Minivan / SUV - 2006 Ford Freestyle
    By -

    We were looking for a SUV that would give us good gas mileage and be high enough that my wife could see the traffic better. My wife is 5 and we were looking for a seat that would adjust high enough for her so that she could see. Plus we needed the lumbar support for both front seats. Ford is the only dealer that had it all. They surprised us also by giving us 0% financing for 5 years plus $1000 cash back. The whole experience was enjoyable, no pressure at all.

  • Better then a wagon - 2006 Ford Freestyle
    By -

    A very smooth ride. The pick up and go with the CVT like no other. Im glad I took this car out for a test drive, I was looking at SUVs; much more room inside. My son loves to sit all the way in the back and watch movies.

    My Freestyle AWD Limited is fully loaded and such a pleasure to drive. I have owned SUVs since 1995 this is my favorite. The safety features and rating sealed the deal for me.

  • Great family vehicle - 2006 Ford Freestyle
    By -

    Just got the Limited AWD with NAV, adjust pedal, safety option, reverse sensing, DVD, 2nd row buckets. Chose this over minivans and SUVs after months of research. LOVE IT! A lot of bang for the buck over Honda or Toyota vans if you can give up sliding doors and both rows folding flat. For a family of 4 this is more than enough room and a great look. Also, no one knows what it is. All of my MOM friends are amazed by its comfort and room. Its like a super wagon more than a van. It handles like a car more than a truck which I like. The drivers seat is so supportive & accommodating to a short driver ( better than previous cars). My 61" husband also has plenty of room. Great alternative to minivan.

    Deceiving room for a smaller vehicle. Sits 6 adults comfortably. Drives like a car but performs like an SUV,

  • Why I like my Freestyle - 2006 Ford Freestyle
    By -

    First and most importantly, I have had no complaints from my wife about this vehicle. It is great to have a seven passenger vehicle with plenty of cargo room and seating versatility that will get close to 30 mpg on the highway with out being some Japanese car.

  • Fords Surprise Winner - 2006 Ford Freestyle
    By -

    The Ford Freestyle is our first-ever American car. My wife chose it over the Pilot, Outback and Freelander. This car is the 21st century vehicle that fills the gap in the market left by Volvo years ago when they discontinued the 240DL wagon and moved upmarket. The Freestyle is well-built, sensible, spacious, stylish but not flashy, and yes, boxy. Despite the unassuming profile, strangers check it out and friends ask *lots* of questions. We love this car so far. Gas mileage is good. 3rd row seat is spacious and comfortable. The ride is great-good stability, nice brakes, smooth transmission. Even the dog appreciates the low trunk after jumping in & out of an SUV for years.
