Ford widens the driver door as a stop-gap measure until the 1999 Windstar arrives with a fourth door. Subtle styling revisions round out the changes for 1998.

1996 Ford Windstar Cargo 3dr Minivan

Have (2) 96 60000 and 74000 miles (1) 98 73000 miles. Minor problems, nothing major. Have Ford and aftermarket extended warranty. All problems taken care of for just the deductible.(if you don't include cost of extended warranty, which is cheaper than a new transmission or head gasket job). Well maintained and NOT ABUSED.Well pleased so far.

1995 Ford Windstar Cargo Cargo 3dr Minivan (1995.5)

Like the others--head gasket and now a transmission at 105K. Too many smaller problems. The last American car I'll ever own. Back to my Hondas.

1995 Ford Windstar Cargo 3dr Minivan

I purchased my van in 1998 with 45k miles on it and now it has just about 140k and I have had minimal problems and it has ALWAYS started & NEVER left me sittin. I like the great mpg & being able to go 450 miles in between fill ups on the hiway.

I really like this van. It's Toredor Red with grey interior.It drives better in the snow than the truck. It has been a very dependable. It could get better gas mileage
