This car has been so good to me. I got it from my mom, because she got a new car, and it has only been in the shop once (fender bender). I love to drive, and my freinds love to ride in it when I am driving. It has been all over the country, and is always reliable.

It has been very reliable. Bought it with 49,000 miles and have put 187,000 miles on it. Transmission rebuilt at 167,000. The most annoying thing haas been the door ajar warning and the incessant dinging until it reaches 15 mph! Other than that I have kept it well maintained and normal repairs have been done -- like tie rods, suspension, ignition coil pack, radiator hose, brakes, wheel alignment. My children say that maybe we were fortunate and got that "one in a million" good Windstars. I don't know. I just know it has been solid!

This is the 2nd worst vehicle I’ve ever had. I’ve had it for about 4 months if that and the starter has gone out and when that got fixed it broke the line to the radiator from the transmission so replaced the radiator THANKFULLY because I found the ONE place that had the ONLY 98 Ford windstar listed on any kind of market across the US. Now the problems just keep progressing. Worked good for about a week after replacing the radiator. The best thing about this van is I have no back seats and if I want a good romantic date, I can make a bed in the back and the front seats are comfortable. Oh and I HATE the super sized windows on here. No privacy.
