  My Love went Sour - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Kris - April 7 - 1:17 am

  I really loved the car. We bought this car used with 31,000 mi on it. 2 months after purchase the battery light went on and a new alternator is being installed- at 32,000 mi! I wish it was the breaks! Now Im waiting to see what will happen next after reading the reviews!

  Brakes are EXPENSIVE to replace - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Luce - April 3 - 2:27 pm

  This car was great because I didnt want to get into a minivan! It had plenty of room for the kids and their things. The brakes have been replaced 4 times and the routers 3 times! Almost every inspection I have failed because I needed new breaks! They have been recalled, but there is no permanent fix! Very frustrating! Also the power steering fluid has been "leaking" I have already gotten it fixed twice, but it seems to keep having a problem. It sounds like a remote control car turning corners!If they could fix that i would be very happy with my car.

  A/C overcharge - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By A/C Antics - March 17 - 6:56 am

  After purchasing our Freestyle and driving it for a couple of months we noticed an A/C problem. After sitting a few days, when starting it would make a noise under the hood that I wasnt familiar with. To check it out I watched the engine while my wife started the car. The noise and a green spray emanated from the A/C compressor. The spray evaporated quickly leaving nothing to show dealership mechanics. Taking the car to the dealership I explained what was happening. It turned out to be a pressure relief valve releasing an over filled A/C charge. After a pressure check and correcting the over fill everything works fine.

  Best Kept Secret - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By John G - February 19 - 1:00 pm

  Traded my 05 Windstar for the AWD Freestyle; first road trip to Green Bay averaged 27.1 mpg, 750 mile round trip averaged 26.2 with 4000 miles on engine. Excellent fit, doors sound expensive when slammed! Fun to drive on stop & go Eisenhower into Chicago, no noticeable shifting up & down.

  Best Car Ive Ever Owned - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By orrsonly - January 14 - 4:01 pm

  I commute on a regular basis with 4 teenagers in the car. There is plenty of room and everyone is comfortable. I also live in Rochester, NY. Snow has been no problem with this "truck", I recently slid on black ice and no damage was done to my vehicle. Mileage is not that bad either for the size, I maintain 22-24 MPG. I would reccomend this car to anyone with kids. I regularly have 6-7 people in the car and there are few fights between the kids and thats saying a lot with my crew!

  Nice Car or SUV or Station Wagon - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By tazman - December 28 - 10:43 pm

  We just got our Freestyle and no matter what you want to call it, it is a great car. Lots of room, smooth ride, great gas mileage and a good price for a very well equipped car. I never even heard of a Freestyle prior to hitting the Ford dealer. We were looking at the Pacifica and decided on this instead (better gas and less of a blind spot).

  Excellent Family Car - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By jules - December 26 - 4:10 pm

  Great car for a small family. Full size cooler fits in rear cargo area with 3rd row seat up. 3rd row seat is comfortable for kids only. Great leg room in front and middle sections. Great acceleration - dont know why the critics downplay its engine. Door panels are kind of flimsy from the outside. Overall we love our Freestyle!

  So Far So Good - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By FirstFord - December 26 - 6:40 am

  Like all domestics, one should be able to get a great deal. Pleasantly paid just a few hundred over invoice. Dealer experience was very positive. Honestly, settled on the car out of necessity and lack of offerings from other car companies. Only vehicle with 3 rows of seating, car like gas mileage, decent trunk space, price $30K or less. There should be more choices in the future due to high gas prices; meantime, this is probably one of few choices.

  Nice seating room - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Sharon OConnell - December 21 - 1:20 am

  My husband and I bought this vehicle because of the ease of handling and the amount of seating capacity. We love that its so easy to enter and exit the vehicle. We dont have to stoop to get in or out. The visibility is another plus, but theres only one thing I would change, and thats the reflection of the dash on the windshield. My husband takes a crew with him to broadcast football games for his local radio station, and theres plenty of room for all 6 (big) men in the Ford Freestyle. Even with a big load like that, it handles easily and doesnt feel "bogged down" on the freeway. Our criteria in any purchase is, "Would we buy this again?", and thats an unqualified, yes, definitely.
