  This is a nice vehicle. Great for hauling kids and groceries. AWD is very nice, especially in winter. Great drive too.

  Fits me Like a Glove - 2005 Ford Freestyle
  By igot12 - June 14 - 8:46 am

  Its the best car that Ive owned. It has the versatility of the SUV, the comfort of a sedan, and seats seven like a minivan. It seems that whatever I need to do, the Freestyle accommodates. No matter what you call it, SUV, Wagon, Sports Utility Wagon Van, no matter, I just love it.

  Not as happy as I thought Id be... - 2005 Ford Freestyle
  By Laura Kerr - June 4 - 9:00 am

  When I first saw this car - I fell in love with it and bought it immediately. I wish Id done a bit much research and shopping. Overall, its ok - but I think it lacks some of the performance and interior finish found in the Explorer. I think it needs more options, especially a bigger engine, and I wish I had passed on the CVT - it is not smooth. The handling is also a bit "squirrelly" at higher speeds. Also, the turn signals are much louder than they need to be. The quality of the interior is not up to par for the price - same with the sound system. It was between this and the Lexus RX330 - now I wish Id gone with the Lexus, even though it cost a bit more.

  FPs Objective Review - 2005 Ford Freestyle
  By Fpilch - May 23 - 10:33 am

  Overall a great vehicle, while I have driven SUVs for years, gas prices were killing me. At first I was moving towards a new car then I seen this and BAM it hit the spot the room of a SUV, ride of a luxury car and compared to the usual SUV great gas mileage. Acceleration is a little sluggish off the line but once going it hauls. My recommendation though is go with all the options and a SEL the price difference is insignificant compared to the comfort and convenience.

  Dont believe the car magazines! - 2005 Ford Freestyle
  By Jim Triebwasser - May 17 - 2:30 am

  Dont believe the car magazines! This car/wagon is a great car for those with kids or have a lot to carry. The flip and fold seats provide an unlimited way of configuring the interior. We got the 6 passenger, with 2nd row center console, and DVD. The power is pretty good, but who is going to go 100 mph with the kids in it? It is a great remake of the Ford 500 wagon. The car handles well, and the ride is super. We came out of a E150 Chateau van, and have not had any problem with all the "stuff" we want to carry.

  Great Choice - 2005 Ford Freestyle
  By C25sailor - May 13 - 12:46 am

  After driving either a European sedan or SUV for 20 years, I decided to give the Freestyle a try. I got tired of wearing out a $40,000 dollar vehicle every 3 years and burning lots of gas doing it. After driving the Freestyle for 9 months -- Im amazed at how happy I am with it. Overall mileage at about 22mpg, comfortable and enjoyable to drive and ride, plenty of performance, (it isnt a sports car -- but has enough zip to do whatever you need) and more utility in a better package than any vehicle Ive owned or driven. I havent met an unsatisfied owner yet. Highly recommended.

  Great Car - 2005 Ford Freestyle
  By Bill - April 23 - 9:13 am

  Freestyle has a lot room, quiet and smooth ride. Gas mileage has been reasonable for a large car. Acceleration is very good for a large car that gets decent gas mileage.

  Great gas mileage. Comfortable to drive. Not too pleased with the interior. Had a 2002 Explorer XLT, interior was first class; the Freestyle has a lot of low-grade plastic and the seat controls are weak. Would also like the tailgate window to open. Very comfortable on trips, stable in wind and rain.

  Freestyle the perfect blend - 2005 Ford Freestyle
  By Chris - March 18 - 5:23 pm

  My wife and I had to find a family car - Mustangs just dont take car seats. The roominess inside is great, even 3rd row. Excellent cargo capacity while lacking that soccer-mom image. Our first choice. The Pacifica didnt even compare - overpriced, no room inside, seats didnt look like they went down. Every time we test drove the car it just felt right, even after driving a Honda Odyssey with all the creature comforts. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a family car.

  Got it the other day... - 2005 Ford Freestyle
  By FreestyleSilvah - March 13 - 3:50 pm

  Just got a Ford Freestyle, SEL, its niiice! :) Superb size/capacity, pretty good on gas, especially hwy, comfort and style, LOTS of "technological doo-dads." Well worth it to get the extras, especially with the family deal Ford is running. Also they give $1000 extra off; a $30,000 dollar vehicle for a $23k or so price :) Very, very happy.
