Very Happy with my 1998 Windstar!!!

Date of Review:  Feb 5, 2000
The Bottom Line: The Ford Windstar is the perfect choice as a family vehicle. It is reasonable priced, has 4 start safety statistics and is very comfortable.
Review: (This article, originally being wrote 01/99, has been revised to give more detail and more help to the consumer.)

Three years ago, you would never of heard me utter the word "minivan" let alone talk of wanting to have one. Nope, not me. I...

A Van That Is Truly A Van

Date of Review:  Oct 12, 1999
Review: Being part of a family of 5 with 2 children participating in various sports, we found that it was time to trade in the 1996 Nissan Sentra for the infamous minivan. We decided to purchase the 1998 Ford Windstar GL because of it's 5-star safety...

Previous Aerostar owner

Review: We owned a 1992 Ford Aerostar, which we purchased used. Didn't realize until out shopping for a "possible" new car that they had discontinued making this model. After searching on the web and talking to friends that own Windstars, not to mention...

Review: I bought my Ford Windstar for a few reasons.

1. I have two active teenagers and a grandson. I wanted a vehicle that could also double as taxi for all of their friends.

Think Twice before Buying a Windstar

Date of Review:  Aug 17, 2002
The Bottom Line: Do your research. Before you buy have it completely checked by a mechanic. Purchase a good extended warranty because you are going to need it! Good Luck!
Review: I bought my 1998 Windstar used in April of 2001. I thought I was making a sound choice... I did all of the research, poured over articles, ran a carfax report, and took it to a mechanic. Little did I know. My van has given me nothing but problems. I...

Ford Windstar - Never Again

Date of Review:  May 7, 2006
The Bottom Line: I would never recommend a Ford Windstar (or buy a Ford again).
Review: I have been completely disappointed with my 1998 Ford Windstar purchase as to its reliability and high maintenance costs. I was hoping that I could buy a reliable American vehicle. I have kicked myself ever since that crazy thought entered my mind...
