  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.

  Better than a van - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By FRITZ - December 20 - 1:27 pm

  In the Northeast, there is always the threat of snow, sleet, etc. We had a good run with AWD Astro vans, SUVs,and Subarus. But for the money, this is hands down the best wagon/van/suv!! Average 21 MPG in local travel, dont get much highway use. Rivals any AWD/4WD vehicle we every owned in sloppy conditions. Hope Ford just keeps refining and building this vehicle.

  So happy with new car - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By traverse city mi - August 27 - 1:55 pm

  We just bought our 2006 Freestyle about two weeks ago and I have been so happy with it! We have two small children and the captains chairs in the second row are great to keep them seperate. There is a center console for all their stuff and to stash diapers as well. I really like the memory seating for the drivers seat. It also remembers where your mirror were as well. Seating is sooo comfortable and the six disc CD player rocks! Great speakers!

  Thank you Freestyle for 3 great years - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By R.L. Scinto - August 11 - 8:15 am

  My lease is up on my 2006 Freestyle. I found the Freestyle while shopping for a smaller alternative to my Lexus 470 (yes Lexus). I have loved this car everyday. There is nothing and I mean nothing you cannot fit in it within reason. It has been comfortable beyond belief, reliable as ever, my Infiniti M45 had more electrical problems even turning off at 55+ mph. I am now patiently waiting for my new Flex to arrive. I trust and love Ford for building such a great car. It makes me sad to give up my old friend Freestyle. I hope it goes to a good home to someone who will love and embrace it like I did. But with the loss I am gaining what I think will be the most exciting Ford now offered.

  Great family vehicle - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Stephen Butenhoff - July 30 - 3:36 pm

  We love our Freestyle! we were looking for something to hold our family (5)+ friends, go camping, carry sports gear and get through Minnesota winters. We got all this plus our 70+ year old parents can easily get in and out without a step ladder. Its quiet, comfortable and roomy and gets great mileage. I have never been stopped by so many people who want to know about my vehicle. Keep up the good work!

  A lot for he Money - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Mike S. - June 21 - 11:04 am

  We bought our Freestyle 2wd used with 32,000 miles on it. Needed more space than the Taurus we had to haul things. Recent trip from N. Indiana to St. Louis on interstate got 26-27 mph doing 70-75 mph. Do that with most SUVs. Real versatile with seating and hauling. Slight hesitation on exceleration (like a turbo lag), but hang on when the engine revs and the trany adjusts for the need. First trip was from N. Indiana to Mackinac Island 4 adults, 2 bikes on the back, loaded, doing 75 mph on interstate and some 2 lane driving - and got over 23 mph - super. Brakes are not a problem. Still have originals at 53000. Anyone going through them fast needs to change their driving habits.

  Real Safe Car - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By carlover - May 24 - 8:43 am

  A great car. I loved the third row seats and a cargo room is the largest of its kind. I was in a roll over accident and totaled the car however, myself and my three year old walked away with only a few bumps!

  The Best of All Worlds - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Amy Mooney - May 19 - 7:10 pm

  I love my Freestyle. Its AWD, sporty, and has all the best interior qualities of a minivan. The gas mileage is about 24 mpg highway. It looks like an SUV, handles like a car, and the interior is roomy like a minivan. Its the best of all worlds.

  I really like my Freestyle - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Dallas Ranger - February 9 - 7:30 am

  I traded an Excursion (which I loved!) for the Freestyle. I did not think I would like it being smaller than what I was used to. I have driven an Excursion for 7 years and also Ford F150s for 10 years and also customized vans. But, I was surprised! I do not feel undersized at all.

  Land Rover to Freestyle - Better Choice - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Kelly Dolmanet - February 1 - 5:16 pm

  I found only 1 problem with the Freestyle and that is cabin noise when one window is open. The quick fix is to keep another window on the opposite row open a crack. This eliminates that awful sound.
