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.

  We Love the Freestar - 2004 Ford Freestar
  By brucef - September 28 - 10:00 am

  This is my favorite car since my 98 Volvo V70 wagon. Design and driving wise it reminds me alot of the V70. It has a great ride quality (but not car like), very very comfortable seating (1st and 2nd row), steering and brakes have excellent feel and the handling is flat and taut. Interior design is clean looking and the exterior is clean and handsome (Ive had a surpising number of comments on it). It is very quiet and the 3.9 liter is quite smooth and quite (no truck-like droning here). The transmission shifting is almost unnoticable...like the V70. Like the base engine in the V70 the 3.9 is adequate, not overpowered but with a flawless character. The upperend stereo sound is quite good.

  I love my FreeStar ..If i had to say anything at all it would have to be that the SEATS arent as comfortable as they should be ..I m not a lg lady so it fits me good but when guys get into the van they say the seats are made small..

  A Beauty - 2004 Ford Freestar
  By Corn Girl - May 23 - 10:00 am

  I traded my 2000 Windstar for a 2004 Freestar and I am glad I did. I like this van so much that I can live in it! It is a pleasure to drive and I am pleased with the vans performance. Even my husband is looking forward to take this van on a road trip. I tried the Sienna and Odessey and there is no comparison, especially with the sporty exterior. Great job FORD!! If your in the market for a van do as the slogan says: "Have you looked at a FORD lately? Look again!" I am a satisfied owner and you will be too.

  Smooth Ride, Classy & Practical Minivan - 2004 Ford Freestar
  By Michele Fitter - October 27 - 10:00 am

  I love how the Freestar handles. Its smooth ride is very similar to the Sienna and the two tone exterior makes it a very classy look. You forget your driving a minivan, except that you have so much room especially with the rear row tucked nicely into the floor.

  I have owned 3 Windstars prior to getting the Freestar. Ford has improved on the previous Windstar. This is the best yet.

  We are in our 70s and have never had a van, but we are enjoying the Freestar very much, and find it very comfortable, and easy to handle, with fairly good gas mileage. We have had 2 Explorers, but the Freestar is much more comfortable, and fun to drive, and the roomy interior is a real plus, as I am on oxygen so we can carry all my equipment and still have lots of space. It is also great for traveling with our 4 year old grandson, and our new puppy, a Bichon Frise.
