Great Family-Mobile - 2005 Ford Freestar
By truckboy1 - August 29 - 6:37 pmMy family loves this van, and visitors and guests love the comfort of the ride compared to my previous BMW sedan. Plenty of room when relatives ride along, and it has not let us down yet when it comes to reliability. My visiting parents commented how impressed they were with the quality of this Ford. My father had previously sworn-off Fords after his earlier fiasco with his Mustang decades ago.

love my minivan - 2005 Ford Freestar
By Cindy - August 29 - 2:58 pmI traded a 00 Windstar for my Freestar. I love the power sliders. The leather seats are slightly less comfy than the cloth.The well behind the 3rd row is great for groceries, big improvement over the clips on the back of 3rd row in Windstar. Gas mileage is comparable about 20 mpg in city, took trip and averaged about 24 mpg on the road -- only had 600 miles on it, it was barely broken in so Im expecting slightly better. Kids love the DVD! I also like the storage improvement in the dash, the drawer keeps things from sliding all over. Overall, its better than my sisters Odyssey and other sisters Caravan. Has a very quiet motor, no knocks or rattles!

Wonderful Family Van - 2005 Ford Freestar
By madmax-ooohhh - August 19 - 3:55 amBest value over all of the competitors right now with the Family plan and substantial $6000 rebate. Because of this, it is about $4000 less than the competition which makes it a great value. It is not the nest in any category, but is very good in overall ride, comfort, fit/finish, fuel economy, accessibility, practical storage, and passenger comfort.

Reliable, Comfortable, and Family Van - 2005 Ford Freestar
By madmax-ooohhh - August 14 - 3:45 amTest drove the New Toyota, Chrysler, and Honda Minivans, but did not feel the additional 4000-8000 premium over a similarly equipped Freestar was worth it. I was pleasantly surprised with the overall fit and finish of the van, and build quality. Only thing it lacks is a AWD option.

On par with other vehicles Ive owned - 2005 Ford Freestar
By Dave - June 11 - 11:55 amIf you want a solid minivan then you should consider this one. I looked at the other competitors and theyre all great. I made the final decision on price and dealer experience. My second choice was the Nissan, third Honda, and last Toyota. I simply refuse to buy a Toyota because the dealers never budge on price. Ive driven Ford and Nissan products and will stick with them in the future.

Fab Freestar - 2005 Ford Freestar
By Howard Groce - May 23 - 9:02 amWe bought our Freestar in September 2004 and have really enjoyed it. Styling is outstanding and reliability is unquestionable. Fuel economy is less than I had expected.

good minivan - 2005 Ford Freestar
By dalereid - April 21 - 2:48 amI have only had mine for a short time but I feel that, so far, it is a nice van at a decent price. The engine seems to have ample power with reasonable fuel mileage.

Freestar Perfromance - 2005 Ford Freestar
By Joe - April 12 - 8:32 pmGreat basic van. Very practical. First minivan purchased. 3.9L engine is weak for the weight but delivers good mileage. Excellent safety record.

Freestar - 2005 Ford Freestar
By Trish - April 12 - 5:12 pmI love our Freestar. It has all the options, and is fun and completely practical for our family of seven! I would recommend this minivan to anyone looking for a safe, reliable, family friendly minivan.

Best value - 2005 Ford Freestar
By John - March 22 - 9:08 pmWith the marginal press reviews this van gets, discounts are plentiful. Very quiet and comfortable. Zero problems so far.
