  Wow, the best of the suv world - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Tim - August 30 - 12:48 am

  Fords only problem with this vehicle is that it doesnt have the ad budget that Ford puts on its other vehicles. We drove a lot of suvs and crossover vehicles. The first thing we noticed is the ease of getting in and out of the vehicle. You dont climb in, you just get in. Ours has every option I could dream up. If you have kid, get the dvd option, it makes long trips much more bearable. I did a lot of research on this vehicle before we bought it, the only real comparative/negative that I could find was it was under powered compared to other crossovers, (Buick Rendezvous, and Chrysler Pacifica). We drove those. With the Freestyles CVT transmission it doesnt need 245hp. Passing is scary fast.

  Great Alternative to SUV - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Jim Marentette - August 21 - 12:07 pm

  I think the Freestyle is a great alternative to a SUV since I do not go off road or need to tow. It is very comfortable and the smooth AWD is just what I need here in the mountains in Durango, CO. I recently took a 5,000 mile trip throughout the mid-west and the vehicle performed marvelously. I do not understand the knock on the engine I find the power quite adequate on the highway and in the mountains. 23 miles/gallon is much better than 15-18 on an SUV, and we must start thinking of conservation. I think the Freestyle is a Volvo in disguise with perhaps less power and craftsmanship.

  Fun Vehicle - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Victoria - August 16 - 9:00 am

  I just love my 2006 Freestyle. Its a fun car to drive and the CVT makes for a smooth and pleasant ride. There is tons of room with plenty of seating options. Great for someone with kids, pooches and/or travelers. Gas mileage is very good, interior features are convenient, AWD gets you easily out of mud or snow, higher seating makes for better visibility. It makes driving fun again. If you can afford it, get the GPS system which I find myself using not just for trips but also local travel. If you are looking for a fun and practical vehicle, I highly recommend the Ford Freestyle.

  I am very pleased so far. We had an Explorer before but this is a neat vehicle that would sell more if Ford would advertise it more.

  I flash my lights! - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Manager - August 7 - 11:36 pm

  I really enjoy driving this replacement for our Ford Aerostar. We were concerned about losing the roominess of our van but when I drove this against the Pacifica and reviewed other wagons there was no comparison to the functionality of the space. I drove 3 hours daily (on avg. 200 miles) for the first 2 months that we owned the vehicle. Most days I drove my Audi 100 (1989) that had better gas mileage but I looked forward to the days that I drove the Freestyle. I read that Ford has sold a bit more than 45k since 2005 but ear-marked sales at 100k and thus feel that they have missed their goals. I say great because when I see other people who have made this great choice I flash my lights!

  I REALLY want to love it, but... - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By mikejbam - August 7 - 3:56 am

  This was both my first new car and my first Ford. The dealership was awesome and made the buying of the vehicle both fun and easy. As for the Freestyle, I wouldnt change a thing about it. The power is adequate for me and the ride is better than anything else Ive driven. Interior is very comfortable and the stereo and DVD system are lots of fun and sound great. My only problem with the vehicle so far is that we havent had much time to drive since the rear end failed at just over 200 miles and its been back at the dealership being repaired. Oh well ... thats what the warranty is for I guess. Probably should have listened to my parents and gone for the Subaru. :)

  Great car! - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Johanna Bro - August 3 - 6:43 pm

  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.

  Fun Minivan / SUV - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Sparky454 - December 2 - 8:03 am

  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 soccer mom - October 13 - 7:26 pm

  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.
