Freestar isn't THAT bad! (Reply to this comment)
by aerostar
Although a very good review, I still think that the Ford Freestar is a pretty good vehicle, just because of the design similar to the 1999-2003 Windstar, it has other things, for example the highest torque of any minivan(263), horsepower that is not the best, but not the worst, an excellent crash test rating, AdvanceTrac, a reasonable price, lots of useful features and goodies, a good ride and more. Thanks for the review!

Freestar (Reply to this comment)

The new name seems to suggest both "freedom" and "star," as, perhaps, in the American flag. The name seems to me to be an attempt by Ford to capitalize on post-911 Americas renewed patriotism. It suggests that, by buying this van, you are both free and very patriotic. That's just my two cents though.

Re: Windstar Comparison (Reply to this comment)

I haven't driven a Windstar in years. If my memory is accurate, the new engine is quieter and more refined, but it's still far from matching the Honda and Toyota sixes.
I remember the Windstar actually handling better. The Freestar felt considerably bulkier than I remember the Windstar feeling.
The MPV is a different vehicle entirely. Much smaller and more agile, though I did not care for its steering.

Windstar Comparison (Reply to this comment)
by slbenz
Mkaresh,
How do you feel the new Freestar compares to the previous Windstar and current MPV in regards to handling? I had a 1999 Windstar which was very unreliable and sold it for a 2003 Mazda MPV and reviewed both for Epinions. Also, from your description the engine still sounds unrefined when revved just like my Windstar. Thanks again for a well written review.
