Awesome Taurus Upgrade

Vehicle

2003 Ford Windstar Minivan LX Standard 4dr Minivan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

We just replaced our aged Taurus with this van. High mileage doesn't bother me because my last few Fords had 178k, 182k, the Taurus had 123k and my '94 Ranger has 146k and no problems. Ford did it right with the Windstar; too bad I don't like the new Freestar, otherwise I would have bought one of those. The Windstar is supposed to be able to tow 3500#. We will see when we go camping with our 2000# pop-up camper this summer.

Great Value

Vehicle

2003 Ford Windstar Minivan 4dr Minivan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

90,000 miles, front brakes, power steering pump, set of Firestone Tires at 75K after the OEM General's were retired. Do the math; $1300.00 plus oil change and filter, tire rotation every 10,000 miles at $55.00. $1795.00 for 90,000 miles. 2 cents per mile. How can you beat it. About 22 miles per gallon at $2.00 in California is $8200 of fuel in two years and price paid of $22,405 OTD. $.36 per mile for two years. Value to move $6,000. $26,400 / 90,000 = .2933 cents per mile. FORD HAS A BETTER IDEA.

Beats Dodge any day

Vehicle

2003 Ford Windstar Minivan LX Standard 4dr Minivan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

We shopped around at all minivan dealers, Toyota, Dodge, Kia, Ford, etc. and went with the Ford. It seems to me that the people who have responded to the Ford Windstar must be car dealers because their responses don't seem valid. Shop all other dealers first, then compare price and options to the Windstar. There is no comparison.

Fine for Us

Vehicle

2003 Ford Windstar Minivan LX Standard 4dr Minivan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

So far, we've been very pleased with the Ford Windstar. It's not posh inside, but certainly a great value. The "check tires" light has gone off more than expected, but it's easy enough to reset.

2003 Windstar

Vehicle

2003 Ford Windstar Minivan Limited 4dr Minivan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

This is an okay car to purchase. The price makes it an attractive buy. However, we've had a Chevy Venture and notice that the leg room is much less in the Windstar than the Venture. Good pickup. Avg. MPG = city--> 14 Highway 18.

This is a wonderful vehicle, I was in an accident not one week after having the vehicle. The other car was totaled and mine just sustained minor damage. It safety rating was put to the test right away and passed. It drives smoothly and is spacious for my kids and siblings.

Fire electrical engineers

Vehicle

2003 Ford Windstar Minivan Limited 4dr Minivan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Bought this Limited van in Dec 2002 and have had numerous electrical probs. Dead batteries, fuel sensors, blower switches, etc. Driver front door was hard to close and had to be re-fit but still has high closing effort. The electrical engineers for this program should be thrown out on their ear.

FORDS AC/HEATER

Vehicle

2003 Ford Windstar Minivan SE 4dr Minivan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Review

OVERALL WORTH THE $$ AS A USED VEHICLE, BUT HEATER BLEND DOOR FAILED LEAVING US WITH LITTLE HEAT OR DEFROSTER IN COLORADO. FORD WANTS $1000 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE HEATER UNIT TO REPAIR A $20 DOOR. THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM. FORD DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR SAFETY. tHIS IS MY THIRD FORD BUT LIKELY LAST.
