Windstar - Chivalry is Dead Over at Ford

by poseidon Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200
Oct 18 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: smooth ride
Cons: it's a Ford, there's only one entry lock?

I don’t like Fords as a matter of practice. You see -- I’ve had two really crummy experiences with them. My first was a 1997 Taurus. Problems started with that vehicle the first day I drove it home from the dealer and it needed a tow that afternoon....

A Solid choice for people on a budget

by bwalk
Aug 21 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Ride, comfortable seats, fit and finish, affordable
Cons: Resale value, wind noise, tight legroom in 2'nd and 3'rd rows
The Bottom Line: A good choice if you need a van and you are on a budget.

I've had my Windstar LX for about 2 years now (I bought it used) and for the money we paid, it has been a good vehicle. Here are my thoughts. Exterior: The style outside is clean and actually quite good looking for the 2000 vans. There are no build ...

Ford Windstar - My New Favorite Minivan

by Joubert Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500
Oct 23 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Safety is top-notch and price at hi
Cons: Bad wiper controls, blind spot on right side

The ubiquitous minivan is frequently sold on consumer feel-good items such as the placement and size of cup holders, the presence of map pockets or the number of zones in which the climate control can be split. Ford’s 2000 Windstar does well on...

We love our new (used) Windstar!

by ladyhawk2_99
Oct 01 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: *extras, extras, extras

Cons: *low MPG, I'd hoped for better
*Far back seat very difficult for adult access
The Bottom Line: A nice minivan for those with kids

Traveling with 3 kids can be a bit of a challenge from time to time. One reviewer recently referred to a DMZ between her children, and I'm a firm believer in the concept. I like to think of traveling as a zone defense, each child has a zone, a parent ...

#1 in safety & comfort

by EpinionsZing
Oct 26 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Safety, comfort
Cons: Expensive; inconsistent quality

I've leased 2 Winstars over the past 4 1/2 years. Once you get over the fact that you're driving a minivan rather than a convertible, there's a lot to enjoy. The Winstar is a big, safe, comfortable mini-van that may frustrate you in other ways.

Never wanted one until....

by EKMops
Mar 25 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: ride, features, safety
Cons: haven't found one

I was one of those people who never wanted a minivan. In fact, I told everyone I knew that I would never ever ever get one. I'm eating those words now, as I'm on my 2nd Ford Windstar, and I love it! When I was pregnant with our 3rd child, my husband's...

Apr 07 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Listed above.....great product
Cons: Can not see the front of the van while driving

Buying a mini-van was something I never thought I would do, until I test-drove a new 2000 Windstar. I fell in love with everything about it. I went to the dealership planning on buying a new Explorer, and then I spotted my Emerald green...

Ford Aerostar, Love It!

by TiffanyKSW
Jan 31 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Spaciousness, Reliability.
Cons: No child-proof locks, heavy seat are difficult to remove alone.

I purchased my Aerostar, used, in 1998 because I owned a small sports car and with more than one child it wasn't practical. I shopped the local dealers, and ended up at Ford. I looked at models ranging from year 1994 to 1998, all previously owned. I...

The Long and Short of the Windstar

by DSMulhall
Nov 17 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Standard extras, cargo and family space, comfortable ride.
Cons: Drinks gas

Need a seven passenger vehicle that also has plenty of cargo space, drives like a car, and offers a comfortable ride? Then look no further than the Ford Windstar.

My wife and I have owned a minivan since 1992. When our Plymouth Voyager began...

So Far So Good! (UPDATED!)

by dbogey
Jul 09 '00 - Updated Jun 30 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Solid feel, smooth ride, and plenty of power
Cons: TRANSMISSIONS - Failed @ 37K miles
The Bottom Line: If you must have a Ford Windstar, buy a good extended warranty plan to go along with it.

Our family recently purchased a new 2000 Ford Windstar SEL and so far I have been very pleased with the purchase, which when you read on you'll understand that this is saying a lot!

We are a family of 4 with two boys 10 and 6. The wife an I...

by jgrahs
Dec 22 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Safety, Comfort, Cargo Room
Cons: Gas Mileage, Questionable Reliability, Rear Window Wiper

I've recently purchased a 2000 Ford Windstar LX. We traded in our 1996 Windstar and are very pleased with the refinements that Ford has continued to make to the Windstar with each successive model year.

Ford was a little late in adding the...

Run, don't walk, from this Minivan

by gophishhh
Oct 25 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: When I think of one, I'll let you know
Cons: Too many to list
The Bottom Line: If you only have 2 children with long arms, this may work for you. Otherwise, get anything else!

I am a soccer mom. And I got this car at a discount, but if I were to do it over again, and I WON this car in a raffle, I'd throw the keys away!

First let me say I've driven this car for 18 months, so what I write, I write from experience....

Fits our whole Family - all 7 of us!

by netfamily
Jul 16 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Comfortable and roomy
Cons: engine is slightly noisy

With 5 children there really wasn't much of a choice on the type of vehicle we were going to have to buy. Aside from anything else, I was fed-up of having to take 2 cars everywhere. When we finally started looking I was pretty amazed at the variety of...

200 Ford Windstar XL

by scooterpoot69
Dec 05 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: atractive, handles well, comfortable ride
Cons: Service

After looking at the competing models, the Windstar seemed like the only logical selection. The exterior styling is attractive and all interior appointments are well thought out and easily accessible. The rear air option is a definite "must...
