  The Jury is Still Out - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Julie - September 26 - 7:35 pm

  Right off the bat the passenger front airbag sensor/light needed to be replaced. There is a lot of road noise in general and cabin noise is awful with back window down. Its a great ride, I love the ride in fact and the front seats are VERY comfortable. Color choices were poor. Could really use a smidge more power on hills and such. Over all I am happy so far just not thrilled and excited like I was in the beginning. I dont know that Id buy the same vehicle again.

  Complete Satisfaction - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Dave Martin - August 6 - 10:50 am

  We have had this vehicle for five weeks, have 1050 miles on it. We are averaging 20.7 miles per gallon. My wife fell in love, first with the color (Merlot), second with the lite beige interior, third the ease of getting in and out. It is very quiet, and we have had many compliments on the 2006 Freestyle. P.S.I love it too.

  New purchase - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By RGankiewicz - June 30 - 11:13 am

  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.

  Perfect - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Yesenia - January 5 - 9:33 am

  I enjoy this vehicle, however, I dare not to drive it with the rear windows down alone. You might find your ears hurt A LOT!

  Downsized from Full-size 4WD SUV - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By vwcarcrazy - January 25 - 5:10 pm

  I currently have 3 Fords (Mustang, Taurus and new FS) and a Sebring. Traded my Tahoe to get better seating for 6-7, lower step-in height for my in-laws and better MPG. The CVT trans take a lot of getting used to. The seats are comfortable, but the interior fabric is poor (snags and stains easily). Interior design is modern and nicely done. Front middle vents do not shut off. Daytime running lights not offered. Nice all-around car for hauling the kids/grandkids, but need more power and a 6 speed auto transmission (like the Ford 500) - without giving up any gas mileage.

  Decent! - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By diveduo - February 25 - 11:26 am

  Overall a good, useful and fun to drive vehicle. Wish it had more HP for better acceleration, but like the fuel economy vs. the capacity and existing power. Nice interior layout. The one thing I dont like is the excessive glare and reflection of the instrument panel in the windshield in daylight hours.

  Good Alternative to SUV or Minivan - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Nikko - January 10 - 6:10 am

  We purchased the Freestyle in April of 2005. We have found it to be a comfortable and easy to drive vehicle with plenty of cargo room. The CVT is a wonder. Good amount of responsive power with smooth handling.

  Freestyle? - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By wmuguy - May 10 - 5:00 pm

  Bought the car after driving 14 different models from cars to minivans. This was one of only 2 cars that that my head didnt hit the ceiling in. Im 6 4". Impressed with the build quality and utility of the vehicle. Performance lacks a little but more than a trade off for the mpgs (currently 24 mpgs overall). Got an incredible deal from the Ford dealer. Over $5,000.00 off of sticker. Definitely the right choice since I drive over 45,000 miles a year for work.

  Freestyle; Home run for Ford! - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By mudhen - January 17 - 8:30 am

  Just purchased the Freestyle, what a car! I was truly impressed with the great value it offers. I am not a huge Ford fan, but I was very impressed with the overall quality, comfort, and features this car offered at this price point. Score one for Ford, They did a great job. A terrific "minivan" alternative.
