Replaced brakes prematurely twice, tires before the first year of ownership was up, driver seat heater is broken, stereo goes out, car is now at dealership saying the CVT will need to be replaced. Buyers beware w/this car! Not worth it. Car is worth less than we currently owe. We are up-side-down with this car and it is no longer driveable. Ford has known about this problem but hasn't recalled or acknowledge it. It is not only a pain financially, it is also a safety issue for drivers and their families.
Very Nice Car

We have four young children. It is very easy for them to get in and out. They have plenty of room for their things. The DVD player is awesome. We have had vans in the past and were going to buy another until we saw this car. I thought it would be too small until looking at it. Very happy with all aspects of this car!

We just got back from driving to Florida from Illinois for spring break (2 adults, 2 kids, 1 medium sized dog), and we averaged 25 mpg for the whole trip. We had plenty of space for everyone, including our luggage. It was also great having the different seating configurations available for everyone to spread out. I cant wait to drive it to Texas later this summer.
Excellent car!

We bought this vehical because we did not want the "stigma" that a mini-van had - mini-van's scream KID-MOBILE - but we wanted the 3rd row seating. It has turned out to have alot of great features I wasn't even looking for. For instance it gets great gas millage, is extreemly comportable to ride in and has great leg room. I've had passangers comment that the second row of seats is more comfortable and roomy that their Chevy Suburban! Very 'sure-footed' on the highway in varried road conditions and VERY nice AWD for those snow difts.

Traded In our Windstar for the Freestyle In hopes of better gas mileage. Didn't work. Mixed driving shows 16 mpg. Drivers seating Is cramped. I'm 6'4" and my right knee rests against the console. After 15 minutes or so of driving my right knee Is getting sore. Imagine a long trip.
