  Out of the SUV! - 2005 Ford Freestyle
  By Frank Higgins - March 21 - 10:30 am

  This is really a good car. It is versatile for the family. We sold our Toyota Sequoia and Toyota RAV4 to use one car for around town and on trips. The Freestyle fits the bill. The price is fair too!

  The Peoples Wagon - 2005 Ford Freestyle
  By Funits - February 6 - 2:33 pm

  Like the VW Bug (the peoples car), the Freestyle is a wagon for the people. I can carry up to 7 and I can flip and fold the seats to hold all kinds of stuff. The deep well behind the 3rd row of seats is perfect to hold groceries and the grill propane tank without flopping around. The interior is spacious and bright with the seats being comfortable in the front and 2nd row. And surprise, at 511" I am able to easily get in and sit in the 3rd row seats without any discomfort. I have found the power of my Freestyle never to lack; it pulls from stops very well and can cruises at any highway speed I choose, and the brakes stop the car well at any speed.

  Outstanding SUV/Car/Truck - 2005 Ford Freestyle
  By volfangary - January 9 - 2:03 pm

  This car is pure enjoyment to drive! The CVT working with the engine provides good power and good MPG. Smooth and quiet ride as compared to my previous 3 Windstars and two Saturns. Seats are comfortable and lots of storage space and cupholders.

  We Love it! - 2005 Ford Freestyle
  By Bill in Philly - November 30 - 7:46 am

  We sold an Audi A4 Avant to buy the Freestyle. The Freestyle is a much better car. I cannot believe how nice it is on the highway. The car is not as slow as people think. It just feels slow with the CVT and the tranny takes some getting used to. But after you figure it out, it is a great transmission. I have even towed a 1200lb trailer with it with not trouble. What a value!

  Great family car - 2005 Ford Freestyle
  By Heather - November 22 - 9:33 pm

  We were a little hesitant about getting this vehicle since it was the first year for it. We love the car; it drives great, the room is unbelievable. We have the 3rd row seat and also the entertainment package. As my son said, all he needs is a soda and popcorn and its better than the movies.

  Ultimate Combo - 2005 Ford Freestyle
  By David S - November 22 - 9:30 am

  Our car really provides the best of both worlds for my wife and me. We are either carrying numerous passengers or large items. It provides great flexibility with all of the seat configurations of the 2nd and 3rd rows. We have comfortably carried up to 7 passengers. Even the 3rd row has good leg room. We have driven over 17,000 miles with no problems. Our gas mileage has been just about as rated. Certainly, we have seen the extreme lows of 17 mpg when driving strictly "stop and go". However, we have also experienced around 30 mpg on numerous of occasions of straight highway driving. So, our average has been approximately 22 mpg. The CVT is smooth, and the AWD tracking is great.
