2006 Ford Freestyle Limited 4dr Wagon (3.0L 6cyl CVT)

This is just the right car between a station wagon and a SUV. It did a great job of moving our student's load to the college dorm. My other car is a sport car. So, I drove the car in a spirited fashion and I was very impressed by its handling. The CVT gear works very nice. We made sure to get side air bags. This is not a standard feature but an option. You need to insist on it. Two other important factors in our purchase decision was its #1 rating in roll-over test (above Acura MDX), and its top ranking in crash testing (based on Volvo cage).
Freestyle SEL - A good purchase.

So far, so good. Replaced a van with this vehicle and much more enjoyable to drive. Better fuel economy than the van and CVT trans makes for a smoother ride (no shifting). Very comfortably designed drivers seat with plenty of legroom left over for rear passengers. Would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone who asks.

My wife love to drive the Freestyle, she like everything about it. She drove a Freestar for 5 years SEL over 150,000. What I have a problem is the seat. I thought should be a little better. The passenger seat should be like the driver's seat. Also I'm 6 foot and with the seat back there's not much room for a man behind me. Also gas mpg is not what I expected.

I traded in my gas-guzzling Expedition for a Freestyle. Walked into the dealer looking for an Explorer when the Freestyle caught my eye. Went home, did some research and came back to the dealer for a test-drive. Convinced I made the right decision. Compares to a Volvo XC70. Could use bumper guards on the door panels. The thought of a late-model Caddy pulling in the parking space next to you is little unnerving but I've read the Ford 500 door guards work well as an aftermarket item. Also for chrome tip exhaust ,the Audi A4's are compatible and save you money when it come to upgrading the "look"

We were looking for a SUV that would give us good gas mileage and be high enough that my wife could see the traffic better. My wife is 5' and we were looking for a seat that would adjust high enough for her so that she could see. Plus we needed the lumbar support for both front seats. Ford is the only dealer that had it all. They surprised us also by giving us 0% financing for 5 years plus $1000 cash back. The whole experience was enjoyable, no pressure at all.
