Dec 01 '00 

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

Pros: A litle bit of everthing
Cons: Haven't found any yet that we couldn't figure out a solution to

Actually went looking for a 4door sedan when we started looking and comparing on the internet, it was just such a hassle free way of comparing Car Makes and models and when we had narrowed the field some we went to a couple different dealerships to...

Need a recall on '95's

by lost1s
Dec 12 '99 

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

Pros: looks good
Cons: totally UNSAFE!

In '97 I bought a used '95 Windstar. Like another complaint listed, I also had continual problems with the door ding going off. I oiled, sprayed and slammed, but the ding and light keep going off and have learned to just keep the radio loud enough to...

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

Pros: Engine, remote/keyless entry
Cons: mileage, approximately 20 mpg

Recently, my husband and I bought a 2000 Windstar LX Van. I absolutely love this vehicle. It handles well and has plenty of power. We bought the Windstar with the 3.8 liter engine. Previously, we had driven another model with a 3.0 liter engine. It...

The best van out there!!

by pooh0131
Jun 12 '01 

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

Pros: Great van
Cons: None that I can find!
The Bottom Line: AWESOME, I would let anyone drive this van if they wanted to.

When we were deciding to purchase a new mini-van I was purposely looking for dual sliding doors with remote. I had a van that had one and I absolutely loved it, and didn't want to step down to a van without it.

We were JUST looking and...

by phelton
Dec 11 '00 

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

Pros: lots of space, rear separate stereo functions, side air bags(optional), price
Cons: brakes seem stiff at times

We bought this vehicle because with two kids it was becoming increasingly difficult to go anywhere in comfort or have any storage space when we went shopping or to the grocery store. Subsequently, we purchased a 1999 Ford Windstar and have been very...

Getting My new Windstar

by mrb
Dec 21 '99 

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

Pros: Lovely vehicle, everything functions perfectly
Cons: The Ford delivery system and computer is in critical need of fixing and updating.

I ordered a Ford 2000 Windstar LX with normal equipment in a medium steel blue on November 20, 1999 as this vehicle had been reported "shipped" to the dealership on November 18, 1999. Time passed and on December 13, 1999 with no vehicle in...

Ford Windstar - "yuck"

by PEDIT
Mar 16 '00 

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

Pros: visibility
Cons: seats, ride, engine, ventilation

First thing is, I did not purchase a Windstar, I rented the Windstar for 3 days. After the 1st 2 min. of driving this vehicle I instantly did not like it at all. This was a fairly loaded Windstar, the seats were horribly uncomfortable. It had powered...

Get a Ford minivan, you won't be sorry!!!

by newtalker
Apr 25 '01 

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

Pros: Safety, comfortable ride, gas mileage, quiet, great heating and ac unit
Cons: Transmission is sometimes loud.
The Bottom Line: Final recommedation is not to hesitate to buy this van. It is very dependable, comfortable, not over priced. And the safety rating is superb.

We have had 2 Ford Windstars in the past 4 years. But we didn't trade in because of any problems. We traded it in to get a newer model and we are not sorry. We love our Windstar!! The ride is superb and quiet. It is so comfortable to travel in. We've...

GREAT Van.

by Hitman05
Jun 23 '00 

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

Pros: Good looking (for a van), very good ride, comfortable, ROOMY, reliable, fairly cheap, sound system, reliable
Cons: 1995 model had poor air conditiong in the back of the van.

First I'll say this: The 1995 (and, to some extent, the 96) Windstar SUCKED (reliability wise). The 95 model was the first model year, so it's sort of understandable. The 95 year had transmission problems and all sorts.

HOWEVER: The new vans...

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

Pros: Great ride
Cons: none

We did extensive research and drove every mini-van in town. This is the fifth mini-van that we have owned, but the first Ford. We love the car. The built in TV and VCR are wonderful for the kids. The car rides beautifully, has lots of room, nice...

by Mafiaboy
May 26 '00 

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

Pros: Security, Engine, Look, Prestige, Comfort, Handling
Cons: Electric Slide doors a little bit slow

I earn a Ford Winstar on March 2000. I goes to Dodge/Chrysler and GM dealers for a test drive of the Caravan/Town and Country and the Venture/Transport but I choose the Winstar by Ford. The first impression count. The Daimler and the GM don't impress me...

Windstar dependability

by waltersga
Dec 21 '99 

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

Pros: Good handling and gas mileage
Cons: Brake rotors, short brake lifespan

I traded in my Aerostar for a Windstar this summer. I loved my Aerostar it had over a 130,000 miles but the front end finally gave up. My Windstar is a 1998 and had been a leased vehicle. They had to replace the brakes which is a downside of Windstar's...

Am I happy?

by slivercat
Dec 17 '00 

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

Pros: A nice looking van with good mileage.
Cons: Poor tires and poorly trained service people.

As always when I open the doors all the snow or rain ends up on the seats. Could the designers not prevent this? I love the power of the motor but it is noisy. I had a 98 Windstar which took a long time to warm up- Dealer said it was because of extra...

No Wonder Ford Is In Trouble

by kg_wolf
May 27 '08 

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

Pros: Engine seems dependable.
Cons: See Above
The Bottom Line: Unless you're a Ford mechanic, steer clear of the 2000 Windstar.

Overall the vehicle is OK when it everything is working properly. I bought it because I needed a van for my business. Since I've owned this vehicle I have had to replace so many things that I may forget to list them: Cruise Control - Quit; A/C Heater ...

2000 Windstar LX - Bad Tranny @ 50K

by mcraig88
Jan 01 '04 

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

Pros: Roomy, nice looking, pretty much reliable while it's still under warranty.
Cons: Short warranty, and crappy transmission!
The Bottom Line: Avoid FORD at all cost! Otherwise, you will pay for it with big repairs after the warranty expires in 3 years.

I've had a 2000 Windstar LX for about 2 years, and just rolled over 50K miles on it. The first 18 months were worry free, and I was actually liking the minivan. (It's a lot cooler that our station wagon) We also own a 1994 Mercury Sable LS wagon. Funn ...
