  Great Value - The Best 7 Passanger AWD - 2007 Ford Freestyle
  By John I - May 18 - 9:09 pm

  Just turned 49,900 miles on my 2007 Freestyle Limited AWD. This is the best 7 passenger vehicle AWD out there. It has been through mud, sand and snow and is unstoppable. Consistently gets 20-22 mpg in combined driving in New Jersey. Back and forth Florida to New Jersey a couple of times, and the vehicle is very easy to handle. Much better in crosswinds than any SUV and just as comfortable inside. The AWD drive system from Volvo in this thing is the best, and at a much lower price than a Volvo.

  Ford was no help, so had to trade it in! - 2007 Ford Freestyle
  By Love2cruz - May 12 - 12:59 pm

  Bought a Freestyle limited June 2007 and almost a year later had to trade it in. From day one we had a constant gas smell. Took it in and half a tank of gas later could find no problem. Kept driving it and smell got worse. Mpg highway was around 18, City was 15 at best. Winter was terrible because it would get stuck in 1/2 inch of snow. We had the pebble leather and it reflected in the front window very badly.

  So far, great car! - 2007 Ford Freestyle
  By Pete - April 14 - 9:35 pm

  We have put almost 15,000 miles on our Freestyle in less than a year. We just returned from a trip to Florida with 7 passengers (6 adult sized people plus a toddler) and luggage. Maybe it is because I dont test drive sports cars, but the pro reviewers missed the boat on the CVT and power. 25-27 mpg fully loaded and passing other cars going up the mountains. Too bad Ford dropped this powertrain for more horsepower and poorer mileage. The only problems I have heard about are the premature tire wear and rear brakes. Our tires are ok so far, and well see on the brakes. I think the writers did a disservice to this car. The Freestyle is not flashy, but does what it is meant to do.

  So far, Going Great - 2007 Ford Freestyle
  By JACK♠ - January 1 - 4:32 pm

  I have 19050 miles and been enjoying my FS. The cvt is a pleasure. The ride feels tight and secure, alot better than my 2001 Explorer or Windstar. I would recommend this CUV.

  The Best things are Freestyle - 2007 Ford Freestyle
  By WWarther - December 5 - 2:41 pm

  We went from an Excursion to a Freestyle. We were aprehensive at first but it is roomy and I dont knock my head getting the seats. We have put 7 good sized people in the unit and every on was comfortable we probablt topped the 1125 cargo limit but it showed no adverse signs of handling. On vacation we took the Rocky Mountain passes with again a load close to 1k Berthond , Rabbit ears and on the way bak from Oregon and Califonia The Syskius, Donner and Vale pass aagain very comfortably . For the passengers there is pleny of knee room fro those in the rear seat has more knee room than Volvo or Passatt and more seating area as well

  Best Kept Secret - 2007 Ford Freestyle
  By dan allan - December 3 - 10:16 am

  Best kept secret by those dummies at Ford. Why promote one of the best vehicles out there? Im glad they dont, because I would have had to pay a lot more (supply/demand) for mine. Paid $19,200, 12k miles from a dealer. No question the best vehicle I have ever purchased. Put almost 14k miles on it. Had rear brake warranty work done, but other than that, it is flat out the best crossover vehicle out there. 28 mpg on highway. My wife gets 19 mpg in city driving and she likes to go fast. More than acceptable acceleration. If I wanted to go faster, I would have bought a Mustang. Plenty of room inside. Very comfortable to drive. There are deals out there on these. You will not be sorry.

  Great car, so-so mileage on AWD - 2007 Ford Freestyle
  By Brendan - December 1 - 5:08 pm

  Bought it used with 13400 miles on it. Have run two fuel tanks through it now in two weeks. Great handling for a big car. Much better than the 06 Taurus it replaced. Comfort, handling and space utilization is outstanding. 2nd and 3rd row seats dont have any legroom issues. Taller people (511"+) cant use the 3rd row headrests as they hit the headliner first if they lean back. No issues with upright seating position. Worst issue is that with an 80/20 city/highway mix Im getting about 16.5 mpg. Worse than Id expected. Dont think AWD is worth the mileage hit. Engine does get a bit noisy above 2500 rpm. A friend bought an 07 explorer same weekend. He likes mine better.

  I love my Freestyle - 2007 Ford Freestyle
  By sgoodwin - November 25 - 10:55 pm

  Ive had my car since April 07, have gone across country and back, driven in the pouring rain (I dont worry as much about hydroplanin, and love my car. Its big enough for my 64"-15 yr old son, my daughter and our 4 dogs. So many bells and whistles for a price you cant beat. Ford just doesnt know a good thing when they have it.

  Fords Stealth Steal! - 2007 Ford Freestyle
  By prairie dog - October 12 - 2:10 pm

  I really searched and researched before I bought this car. I wanted a car that would do everything and I got it! It carries people and cargo like a champ. (Even my mountain bike without having to take off the front wheel!) It handles great and I love the CVT - really great on hills, stop and go traffic whatever you hand it. Plenty of Power. I love the cargo well in the back and the way I can flip and realign everything in a flash, on the go, no matter whatever, or whomever, comes up. The versatility is the best I have seen. This car replaces a full sized van and a Taurus and does it with style. We still have the Explorer, but more and more, we keep taking the Freebie. I love this car!
