The (Almost) Perfect All-Purpose X-Over Vehicle For Our Needs

Date of Review:  Nov 6, 2005
The Bottom Line: All things considered, if given the choice, I would purchase the Freestyle SEL again, despite the small engine palpitations I experienced.
Review: We (my spouse and I, more specifically my spouse) have special needs in a vehicle. We had outgrown our traditional 4-door family car and were in search of a roomy alternative that fit a tight script of criteria. For one we needed room to fit four...

Oddly, I find myself wanting one of these

Date of Review:  Jan 29, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you want the best driving, most functional three-row vehicle at a moderate price, this is it.
Review: In my review of the Ford Five Hundred sedan I wrote that it was roomy and reasonably priced, but thoroughly boring. Yet I find myself oddly attracted to the Freestyle, which is essentially a Five Hundred wagon styled to resemble a Ford Explorer. How...

Ford Creates An Eminently Practical Crossover SUV... Atonement For The Excursion, Perhaps?

Date of Review:  Sep 12, 2004
The Bottom Line: The Freestyle is the most balanced blend of car and SUV I've ever experienced. It's not a driver's car, but it's roomy, honest, efficient, and very appealing.
Review: My Experience

I recently attended the Ford Racing Innovation Drive event in Pasadena. It was held at Irwindale Speedway, and was essentially a showcase for Ford's new 2005 models--the Five Hundred sedan, the Mustang coupe, and the...

A fantastic value (updated April 09)

Date of Review:  Feb 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for a minivan or SUV alternative. Much cheaper than Cadillac's crossover. Very good space for third row occupants
Review: After months of research, I finally decided to purchase the Ford Freestyle. There just isn't any other vehicle like it on the market that fitted my needs: An alternative to our other car (a Chrysler Town and Country--a great van!) which will give me...

Freestyle - The First Lady of Ford

Date of Review:  Oct 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: It's a great new product from Ford. With the Escape's engine and Audi components in the transmission, it's not entirely unproven. Standard doo-dads, comfort, size, looks, capacity, mileage are pluses.
Review: Why Take A Chance?

When my husband bought a first-year Mercury Cougar, he knew he took a risk. He chose the potential "babe magnet" though it was untried, unproven, and unsuitable to a geeky 40 year old bachelor. Now that he's caught the...

Ford is right on track

Date of Review:  Nov 18, 2004
The Bottom Line: Next generation of vehicles that are extremely versatile.
Review: Paying off my 5-year loan on my car last month got me in the mood of searching for a new car. Looking and dreaming is always fun, so although I might be six months to a year away from actually purchasing a new vehicle it is definitely time to think...

My Audi A4 Timing Belt Broke and I Bought My Family a Ford Freestyle

Date of Review:  Mar 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: I'm glad I bought this car. It's extraordinarily smooth due to the CVT and good suspension. Nice big size for a family. I'd recommend it.
Review: Built on a similar platform, the Ford Freestyle is basically a Volvo XC90 with Ford styling. I parked next to an XC90 with 300 miles on my brand new FREESTYLE SEL Front Wheel Drive car in order to compare the two cars. I decided against the All...

Great=Super-Versatile, Fuel-Efficient and Comfortable Ford Freestyle

Date of Review:  Jun 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: All told, the Freestyle is a very versatile, comfortable and stylish car at a great price.
Review: With 2 kids and another one on the way, my wife and I were faced with a dilemma. We HATE minivans, but we simply didn't have enough room in our cars for strollers, diaper bags, etc., and still be able to fit the kids. And although there have been...

A great choice

Date of Review:  Jun 4, 2005
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended. A perfect transition from our minivan. Great looking vehicle, great looking, yet simple interior. CVT works great.
Review: We bought this to replace our Chevy Venture. We saw it at the Chicago Auto Show and we liked it better than the Pacifica. Considered an Escape, but I use one at work and wonder how it could be so different (in a negative sense) than my 2000 Focus...

Great Value for an SUV/Minivan

Date of Review:  Dec 16, 2005
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this to any family who is looking to get a good value, that needs lots of space, and isn't worried about getting extra bells and whistles.
Review: We needed a new vehicle that was capable of carrying kids and stuff and my wife decided she liked the Freestyle. Although it is primarily her vehicle, I drive it on weekends and my general impression is that is a car that has good value and good...
