Works good for me!
Windstar offers alot of bang for the buck! Although it is not the hottest selling minivan on the market, my family and I enjoy it! This is our second Windstar! No problems with either van but a minor recall on the drivers side floor mat hinge.
Ford Windstar In the Shop
I have owned this Windstar for 105 days. It has spent 26 of those days (24%) in the repair shop with a series of failures. TSB's seem to be announced by Ford 2 or 3 days after my van suffers a failure. Anyone wana buy my van?

Good Van
The Windstar has been very reliable and enjoyable in general for us. The sliding doors tend to stick a little especially on cold mornings. The seats are very comfortable and the amenities are good for the money, I think. I believe the '02's only had the VHS (no DVD) available for the entertainment system so we opted not to get it. I wasn't overly impressed with the Chevy Venture in design or comfort for the same price (although they did have the DVD player). There have been minor problems, but overall it's been reliable and a great van for the family.
Fairly Good
A great road cruiser and very comfortable on long trips. Safety ratings top which was important to us. Video a hit with the kids. Dealership is best I've ever dealt with though, so making ownership experience tolerable. Road noise too much at this level.
Windstar - if you can't get the oddessey
The only reason I leased the Windstar was the fact that I couldn't get the Honda Odessey. The lease on the Windstar similar to the Odessey since the residual is so much better on the Honda. The Windstar has been in the shop 4 times now for recalls. The steering fluid pump had to be replaced, as well as the ignition control module. The Windstar might be safe, but not very good. I'm glad I don't own it. The rear bench is very heavy, and should really be removed with 2 people.
