I am very pleased so far. We had an Explorer before but this is a neat vehicle that would sell more if Ford would advertise it more.
Sure Winner!
It does not make sense to me why people have to buy a more expensive SUV like a Benz when they can get a Ford Freestyle. My 2006 Freestyle SEL has got everything I need to drive in comfort, safety and economy. This CUV is recommended by the Consumers Reports magazine and its reliability rating is way better than a those CUV with double the price. It has a very pleasing exterior design. Not too aggressive like a Murano, and not too dull like a Honda Pilot. It drives like a small car and the view is like a penthouse on the road. People complain about the dashboard reflection issue but not really a problem. A bit noisy like a tiger when climbing up the hill but I like it like it is.
My 2006 Ford Freestyle SEL
We bought our 2006 Freestyle in 2009. It had been a company car with only 18,000 miles on it. I have never had a problem with this wonderful car! I love it and wish Ford still made this model. It now has roughly 97,500 miles on it. It has been lunging a few times but I have had complete control over it. I was told by a mechanic that Ford installed Mazda transmissions in the Freestyles and they begin to have problems around 100,000 miles. I pray my car’s transmission does not cause any problems. I love my Freestyle!!!

Transmission is out!
I bought this car to get away from the high gas prices of my Ford Explorer. The car has great room. It seats 7. Comfort level is ok. I do not think of this car as stylish. However, it does fine on gas for the size. I WON'T buy this car again because my TRANSMISSION is now having to be replaced. Absolutely ridiculous for a 3 yr old car with 57k miles. Since Ford had the 3yr/36,000 warranty, I am having to pay for the repairs myself. I will not buy another Ford car again.
