Overview & Reviews
The Freestar is an all-new minivan that replaces Ford's aged Windstar. Recognizing the increased competition in this segment, the company has incorporated must-haves like a fold-flat third-row seat, rear DVD entertainment system and a power liftgate, while adding new items like side curtain airbags that cover all three rows of seating and an available large-displacement V6 for hauling heavy loads.
- Plenty of safety and convenience features, sharp interior design, torquey V6 engines.
- Unimpressive fuel economy numbers, less horsepower than top competitors.

Brand New w/only 11miles - 2004 Ford Freestar
By Pinkham - November 5 - 6:22 pm5 Nov 04 Just got it a week ago, Sticker price $29,267.00 Ford knocked off $11,000.00 with promotions. Feel sorry for anyone who bought a few months back without the deals. Gas mileage.....I live in the western part of Massachusetts hilly country its cold not the best for getting good gas mileage but heres what I got on my very first fill up. Went 230 miles & took 12gallons thats 19.1mi on the gallon. Drove with a light foot keeping rpm between 1000 & 2000 90per-cent of the time & tried not to hit the brakes. Hopefully when broken in this will improve. Attn: Ford - your gas & brake pedals that raise and lower is just plain stupid!

nothing to write home about - 2004 Ford Freestar
By rokko - October 22 - 2:00 amThe vehicle is ok, had problems with the tape cassette early on and the engine light went on too. The brakes seem to be too low. The buttons for the A/C, rear defroster etc, are too small and the green lights you cannot see when the sun shining in the vehicle. The front doors do not shut all the time.

Love it! - 2004 Ford Freestar
By noribabe - October 9 - 2:00 amWe have driven Explorers in the past, but this is much better for us, as we are in our 70s and are looking for roominess and comfort now. It has great visability, and handles like a dream, and is so easy to get in and out of. tho we still feel as tho we have the height and safty of the Explorer, and tho it is not a 4x4, it is front wheel drive, and we grew up in the east, so the snow here in Flagstaff doesnt really hold any problem for us! It is nice for taking our family places also. I cant say enough good things about it, and also the dealership. They were and are great!

Not for big men - 2004 Ford Freestar
By ShelbyJock - October 1 - 2:00 amShort version of the story. Im 65" and wear a 14EEE shoe. This is a fleet car, so little choice as to options. When driving, my right shoe is under the brake pedal. If I have to stop in a panic, top of said foot hits a duct, and I end up with my foot trapped between throttle and bottom of brake. Solution? Drive barefoot. Vehicle is almost identical to the Windstar. Less power, more quiet. Handles about like expected - like a brick suspended on rubber bands. A/C seems adequate, though only just. Stereo is fair. Fuel economy is a bit better than the Windstar, but really gets about 19 highway and a bit less in normal use (about 17).

Freestar SE... give me back my windstar! - 2004 Ford Freestar
By ThunderBay - October 25 - 2:00 amThe seating arangements in this van are terrible. Dont buy it if you have more than two kids. The middle seats dont move fore/aft. The rear seat is only fit for small kids. Also you will never get 6 adults in this van. The rear seat folds up with great ease, but it would have been cheaper to just leave it out altogether. It is useless for anyone over 4 feet tall. This is basically a 4 passenger vehicle. Test drive this one for at least a couple of hours to make sure it works for you... beware!!!
