Overview & Reviews

Very little has changed for the 2006 Ford Freestar. Ford has simplified the minivan's trim levels, and there are now just SE, SEL and Limited trims. The company has also revised the Freestar's option packages and made the formerly optional cruise control, CD player, tinted glass, roof rails and tire-pressure monitor standard equipment. Other minor changes include redesigned interior door panels and, for the Limited, extra chrome trim and optional 17-inch wheels.

• Plenty of safety features, upscale looks inside and out, roomy interior.

  I have owned a Ford Windstar in the past, so I was familiar with front wheel drive. The handling response is great, its peppy when needed, and gives a feeling of confidence. I find myself trying to increase my gas mileage by driving carefully. Side air curtains are a super plus for my grandchildren.

  Good Value - 2006 Ford Freestar
  By Michael - September 29 - 9:49 pm

  Bought a SEL Freestar 4.2 used with 15,000 miles. Very pleased with it. Wife has a 2003 Honda Odyssey which I consider a great minivan and we bought the Freestar as an extra minivan since that one has high miles and for my personal vehicle. The Honda seems to be built much better, but was twice the price and had no room for negotiation because of popularity of model. However, they both drive great and for the money, I would buy the Ford over the Honda in the future! The sound system is pretty weak as well since it only has 4 speakers.

  excellent value for the money - 2006 Ford Freestar
  By JAM - August 21 - 2:10 pm

  The 2006 Ford Freestar is a excellent value for the money. Saved about $5000 off price with Ford rebates and dealer incentives. Excellent value for under $20k with SE appearance package, Advance Trac with reverse sensing and dvd entertainment system. The only thing is the 3rd row seat is low to floor. Ok for kids. The interior has great styling and storage space.

  For the $$, Couldnt beat it! - 2006 Ford Freestar
  By cv2166 - August 15 - 8:55 pm

  Stickered for a hair over $30k. DVD, SE Premium Package, Liftgate spoiler, Advancetrac, side canopy airbags,17" alloys, quad seating.... really well equipped. Floor console too ($150 option...kinda steep I think). ANYWAY...rebates, discounts,and plans through work, (company is a supplier to Ford) knocked it down to $19k and change! Yes, its brand new! Couldnt TOUCH another for that. Rides nice. Like the SIZE. Sits high. Looks nice. Got the Norsea Blue. Pretty!

  NICE MINIVAN - 2006 Ford Freestar
  By P. M. - June 28 - 4:46 pm

  We bought the Freestar 2 weeks ago and took it on a trip to South Texas. Averaged 18 MPG on the trip which is disappointing seeing how its rated at 24. I expected 20-22. Other than that, I give it a well above average rating.

  Smooth shifting and nice handling. Plenty of storage room as we travel back and forth from NY to Fl. Nice ride with good vision of the road.

  Great Van Overall - 2006 Ford Freestar
  By Tom - March 10 - 4:38 pm

  I love the optional audio with the separate source selection. As with other reviews, rear seats need about 1.5 inches additional height. More drivers knee room and the tow package without hitch....well thats probably a Ford marketing problem. Love mine, lots of power. look forward to hooking up my 200lb camper and pulling with it. PS I owed a 95 Windstar as well.

  JUST BOUGHT AND LOVE IT - 2006 Ford Freestar
  By ROBERT CARRICATO - January 6 - 12:48 pm

  The Ford Freestar is a good product. The only thing is the rear seat is low to floor. This is so the seat when folded can go into rear cargo space in floor. Ok for kids. Not so comfy for adults on long trips. The interior is great. Very comfy captains chairs in 2nd row...overall very nice van.

  I love my Ford Freestar - 2006 Ford Freestar
  By shelley - November 15 - 9:35 pm

  While the fuel economy may not be the best, I have no issues with the horsepower or speed of the engine at all ... the "get up and go" so to speak of the Freestar is wonderful. The interior is roomy and comfortable, with plenty of room for 6 or 7. My one downfall with the interior is that the third row seat does not fit my sons booster seats very well the buckles of the seat belt sit behind the boosters and therefore my children do not ride in the back often. But the availability to stow the third row in the trunk is wonderful. Its a very stylish minivan and Im proud to drive it!
