  Excellent FORD - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Maricruz Eglen - January 20 - 6:30 pm

  Ive had the car a couple of months now its my first new car and just had my first oil change. The car is great - Ive had no problems. I have two kids, a 3 year old and a 7 year old and one on the way. The kids watch their movies on the DVD player that comes with the car. Plenty of room for everybody. The third row has room for adults according to my friends who rode back there on a trip to the LA Zoo.

  I just love driving this car! - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Janelle - June 8 - 4:23 pm

  Every time I get behind the wheel of my beautiful blue car, I cant help but smile. I love the stereo controls, etc. on the steering wheel, the handling, the little touches like the mirror for viewing the back seat, the storage capacity, how easy it is to fold the seats down, and how great it has been on several long trips. My daughter just loves to sit in the 3rd row seat with her friends. We have had no problems with the car and have put 8500 miles on it so far! This car just feels like it is solidly built.

  Freestyle SEL - A good purchase. - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Phil - March 21 - 8:16 am

  So far, so good. Replaced a van with this vehicle and much more enjoyable to drive. Better fuel economy than the van and CVT trans makes for a smoother ride (no shifting). Very comfortably designed drivers seat with plenty of legroom left over for rear passengers. Would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone who asks.

  Enjoying my new ride - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By charlieclaudia - January 15 - 12:43 am

  I had been researching and test driving various SUVs for over one year. I was looking for something with the comfort and versatility of a minivan, good gas mileage and not too big. Also didnt want to spend too much. The Freestyle is a great option. The ride is firm. I can easily get in and out of the car. The seats are the right proportion fit for me - much better than the ones in our F350. The glare on the windshield is very annoying. Polarized sun glasses are needed!

  a Ford upgrade - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By jd miller - December 9 - 3:03 am

  Our recent vacation trips to Florida, Canada and the Jersey shore found a comfortable, easy to handle station wagon. There was plenty of room for people, luggage and cargo (bikes on back). The transmission served the gas mileage from 23.5 on the high speed Florida trip to the easy ride to Canada for 25.7 mpg. We are well pleased after 6,957 miles to date.

  Freestyle Living - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Del Buono Sr. - October 16 - 6:33 am

  The SE Freestyle 05 is a great basic car/SUV with the all wheel drive. The view from the roomy cab is excellent and the performance of the 6 cylinder engine is more than enough. Gas mileage is average for these tough times 21-26. The theater seating in the rear is roomy for teenagers as well as adults. They all comment on it.

  Great Ride - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By ptrgreat - September 23 - 4:50 am

  Hey, Im a Southern California Driver and traffic bites, but this ride gets me through it. Rolling down the windows works great when you roll them all down, saves on gas also. Getting like 25 MPG mixed street/freeway, manual calculations, the computer is way wacky with that. I have no problem with hills fully loaded. I found that you have to shift into "L" and she runs with it. The blue looks good at night too.

  Ford Freestyle - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By gatorpa - September 12 - 10:06 pm

  Great car. Very spacious inside yet doesnt feel big when driving. Its kinda a mix between a minivan and SUV. You get the family friendly features of a minivan with the looks of an SUV. Gas mileage better than an SUV 27Hwy. This is the perfect cool family car.

  One of the best vehicles Ive owned - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By Jay Roig - July 15 - 2:50 am

  My daughter bought this vehicle used and had 80,000 miles. She drove it and put 100,000 miles on it. I got it at 180,000 miles and now have 197,000 miles on it. Its not a drag racer (but it can get up and go when needed) and its rather plain looking when compared to other wagons and SUVs but its got clean lines and has a solid feel on the road. My only complaint (daughters too), is the air conditioner. It stops pumping out cool air when the vehicle is idling. Unfortunately dealers do not repair things anymore. They want to replace the system ($2,200 plus). From my research Ive learned its a valve and/or spring, located under a plate at the rear of the compressor, and that the problem exists in other Ford models that use the same compressor. I guess dealers make more money, without breaking a sweat, by replacing the big parts only. The CVT took some getting used to, but its not given me, or my daughter any problems. Im looking to keep my Freestyle until it gets to the 250,000 mile mark - or sooner if I croak.

  Best of the Crossovers - 2006 Ford Freestyle
  By FRtyme - December 3 - 9:26 pm

  Researched many vehicles, Crossover/SUVs, but for the price could not beat the Freestyle. Interior does not look plastic. It is finished off nicely. Very comfortable and roomy. Power is more than adequate and handling is superb. Fun to drive. Only drawback I have found, there is a reflection of the dash in the windshield during the daylight hours. I can live with it. Great car, Ford should push it more then they do. They have a winner here.
