Swiss Army of Cars

After owning this car for a little over 2 weeks, I haven't been this impressed with the versatility of any car before. You get good looks, great use of space, good gas mileage, great safety features and above all a pleasure to drive. If you have a family with kids, this is the family car you should look at seriously. The only thing it can't do is haul things like a pickup could, but really, how often do you do that in a family vehicle. Only negative so far is a loose DVD player that rattles but will be corrected by the dealer. I really enjoy this car.

This car is great for kids, my carseats fit in nice and I can actually take my sister and her children without taking a second car. I can even fit 3 carseats in the second row. The seats are easy to fold down and to lift back up,and there is lots of room. This car is so fun to drive, plenty of power for me despite what some people say. I'm not one to try and race everyone on the highway.. there is plenty of pick up when needed though.

Great Vehicle

A very comfortable vehicle with plenty of acceleration, yet excellent gas mileage for a vehicle of this size and capability. It has easy to use multiple configurations that make it truly versatile. I have yet to find a use/configuration that did not exceed my expectations.

Better than an SUV

I finally got one and fell in love. It handles really well in the snow and rain. When I drive long distances my back is no longer sore. The roominess is terrific. It holds my family perfectly and everyone thinks it is great. The windshield is huge - great view. The back storage comes in real handy. I would recommend this to anyone who does not want an SUV or minivan. My husband loves it top and he is an F-250 man so that says a lot for this vehicle.

Super MPG

I was looking for something economical with some room. My last vehicle was a Liberty and before that a Tribute and I needed more cargo room. I was pleasantly surprised to find out the Freestyle actually got better mileage than my previous vehicles and was roomier with a 3rd row seat to boot!
