Just purchased the Freestyle, what a car! I was truly impressed with the great value it offers. I am not a huge Ford fan, but I was very impressed with the overall quality, comfort, and features this car offered at this price point. Score one for Ford, They did a great job. A terrific "minivan" alternative.
Consider AWD for snow

I enjoy this car except for 3 problems: (1) The two wheel drive is the worst and most helpless front wheel drive car I have ever driven in the snow. There is too much power to drive wheels causing wheel to spin easily. (2)I started out averaging about 22 mpg in the city and 25-27 mpg on the highway. It now has taken a turn down word to 18 city and 21-23 Hwy (according to vehicle display). This is not what was promised. (3) The vehicle trade in value towards a new car was insultingly low - $13,800.

I really enjoy driving this replacement for our Ford Aerostar. We were concerned about losing the roominess of our van but when I drove this against the Pacifica and reviewed other wagons there was no comparison to the functionality of the space. I drove 3 hours daily (on avg. 200 miles) for the first 2 months that we owned the vehicle. Most days I drove my Audi 100 (1989) that had better gas mileage but I looked forward to the days that I drove the Freestyle. I read that Ford has sold a bit more than 45k since 2005 but ear-marked sales at 100k and thus feel that they have missed their goals. I say great because when I see other people who have made this great choice I flash my lights!
Great Alternative to SUV

I think the Freestyle is a great alternative to a SUV since I do not go off road or need to tow. It is very comfortable and the smooth AWD is just what I need here in the mountains in Durango, CO. I recently took a 5,000 mile trip throughout the mid-west and the vehicle performed marvelously. I do not understand the knock on the engine; I find the power quite adequate on the highway and in the mountains. 23 miles/gallon is much better than 15-18 on an SUV, and we must start thinking of conservation. I think the Freestyle is a Volvo in disguise with perhaps less power and craftsmanship.
A lot for he Money

We bought our Freestyle 2wd used with 32,000 miles on it. Needed more space than the Taurus we had to haul things. Recent trip from N. Indiana to St. Louis on interstate got 26-27 mph doing 70-75 mph. Do that with most SUV's. Real versatile with seating and hauling. Slight hesitation on exceleration (like a turbo lag), but hang on when the engine revs and the trany adjusts for the need. First trip was from N. Indiana to Mackinac Island 4 adults, 2 bikes on the back, loaded, doing 75 mph on interstate and some 2 lane driving - and got over 23 mph - super. Brakes are not a problem. Still have originals at 53000. Anyone going through them fast needs to change their driving habits.
