Edmunds' Expert Review

What’s new
This year, Ford introduces its version of the front-wheel-drive minivan. Designed to replace the archaic Aerostar, the Windstar offers a wealth of standard equipment. Dual airbags, antilock brakes, a four-speed automatic transmission and V6 power are just a few of the features included in the base price. The Windstar seats seven and has an integrated child seat: an attractive feature for the family with toddlers.

1995 Ford Windstar LX 3dr Minivan
I have owned my Windstar for about six
years. It has proved to be a very
good vehicle. Its ride is very
comfortable and it is very quiet
inside. It has most all the options I
need and want and is very versitile.
It has great cargo room when seats are
removed. I have automatic lights and
mirror which I appreciate and the
electronic dash has all the
information I … want. I have driven
many newer vans and still have not
found one the equal of mine.
2 Windstars - Over 100k Miles each!

1995 Ford Windstar LX 3dr Minivan
We purchased a 1995 Windstar from a private party in 2002 from a soldier's wife on Ft. Carson. I have to say this car has been a REMARKABLE dream to own. We have had ZERO major repairs and have been incredibly impressed with this Windstar. We have had one tune up, one alignment, new tires twice, one serpentine belt replaced, and new brake pads a couple of times. and 100% Mobil1 synthetic … oil changes. It runs quiet, stays straight, and never fails to start and run well. We keep wanting to trade it in, but it's almost become a challenge to keep this one going to see JUST HOW MANY MILES we can put on it with the original transmission and engine!
Great so far no issues

I have just hit 150k in my Windstar and have had very few problems. A starter and my interior lights stayed on once (sensor problem); always drive sanely and take good care of it. Still looks and drives beautifully.
