  Wonderful Family Van - 2005 Ford Freestar
  By madmax-ooohhh - August 19 - 3:55 am

  Best 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 am

  Test 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.

  Great Van for the Price - 2005 Ford Freestar
  By Eric - August 10 - 1:28 pm

  The Freestar has been a pleasant surprise thus far. The van runs great, and it is nice and roomy. With the rebates and the family plan pricing I only paid $17.5K for a new well equipped SE model. My kids love the DVD feature. My only grip is that the 2nd row seat belts are in the way of the access to the 3rd row. However, overall a great buy!

  Its the best - 2005 Ford Freestar
  By Adam - July 8 - 2:42 pm

  I love my 2005 Ford Freestar my kids love the DVD entertainment system and my wife likes how she can start the car with the keyless entry system and just go hop in to her heated seats. I like the 6 disk CD changer also. My kids like that they have some power in the back with the rear controls for the air condition and audio options we also like the electronic 3 zone climate system. Wow there is just do much stuff about it, I like the message system where the car can check it self. But we mostly love the power sliding doors and liftgate the power liftgate is the one feature we use the most because everytime we go to buy something we just open or close it with a touch of a button.

  dont buy this - 2005 Ford Freestar
  By bwmcc - June 17 - 12:16 am

  I have had this minivan since Jan 05. This is a company vehicle so luckily i didnt have to buy this. Been in the shop twice for engine knock and check engine light. Had to replace the gas tank and the knock is better but still there at highway speeds. Was in the shop total of 9 days. If this was my personal vehicle I would be very annoyed. Give me my Caravan back!

  On par with other vehicles Ive owned - 2005 Ford Freestar
  By Dave - June 11 - 11:55 am

  If 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.

  Rattles and noises - 2005 Ford Freestar
  By James Littlefield - May 25 - 4:37 pm

  Isnt it possible for Ford to build an auto that doesnt have rattles in it and doesnt sound like a cement mixer when idling? Friends of ours have a new Toyoda van and when idling, it is impossible to hear it running. My new Freestar sounds like a cement mixer compared to the Toyota. Also at times there is a noise from behind the dash that sounds 100% like a tuning fork. Have taken van back to garage, and of course it doesnt act up! Am I the only one that has had these problems?

  Fab Freestar - 2005 Ford Freestar
  By Howard Groce - May 23 - 9:02 am

  We 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.

  love it - 2005 Ford Freestar
  By ny driver - May 1 - 4:04 am

  Love everything about this vehicle. The only con is the plastic interior compared to the upholstered Windstar. Great driving and solid. Wish the DVD player did not block the rear window.

  Freestar sets you free - 2005 Ford Freestar
  By Chip - April 25 - 11:48 pm

  The Freestar is perfect for a VMI conversion for handicapped drivers! The ride is smooth, especially on the highway. The is not much wind noise, either. My conversion adds A LOT of weight and modifies the aerodynamics to the van which hinders fuel economy slightly.
