2010 Ford Freestar - I'm happy with it

I like the overall style, the color (charcoal) and the roominess inside. I like having a sliding door behind my driver's seat, as it makes it easier to put in and take out a baby car seat. This van also does not have a blind spot like one of my other vans had. We have had no major repair issues.

Story

When working an Estate Sale last year, I saw a really cool vintage old door next to the neighbor's trash. I wanted it! The neighbors were throwing it away (it was trash day) but I didn't want to be seen trash-picking it. My sister and I waited until it was dark, quietly drove down the street, picked up that door as fast as we could and shoved it in the back of my van. I was so glad I had room ... (more)

Pros

For the last several years, I was working Estate Sales. This meant I had to hall around long tables quite often. I intentionally chose a vehicle with two sets of bucket seats (front and middle rows) so that I could slide a couple of tables between the seats, extending through to the hatch area. I can haul something as long as 8 foot if it is narrow enough to fit between the seats. I also LOVE my automatic lights. I never have to think about turning them on or off. I also have a key pad, so I never have to worry about locking myself out of the van.

Cons

The hood was really hard to open. I just figured that was the way it was, and lived with it like that for a year or so. Then my son looked at it and easily fixed it. The main thing I don't like is that the van shimmies when I am braking, but I am told that is because the rotors were not turned when the brakes were done (before I bought it) and that while annoying, it is not dangerous, and will go away next time brakes are replaced.

2006 Ford Freestar - Has held up well to abuse

I have had this minivan for going on seven years now. I like how it has handled all that we have thrown at it from camping trips to sixty mile round trip to work and back home again. It has served me well with three young kids growing into teenagers and all of their stuff. It handles well for a minivan except for wet hilly roads. It really does not like those. In seven years I have only had one major repair and that was due to teaching a kid to drive and them hitting the curb hard. I have to say that after all the abuse we have thrown at it such as hauling furniture, drywall, power tools, and all sorts of camping gear with kids and dogs it is still going strong.

Story

When camping one time the tents started leaking so we had to fit two pit bulls and five people in the van to sleep. It was a very, very close night but we all survived and stayed dry.

Pros

It has loads of room for all sorts of things. We have put desks and chairs and even a washing machine in it. There has only been one major repair in seven years and that was due to hitting a curb (can't blame the van for that). It is also comfortable enough for long road trips. It is not bad on fuel mileage at around 20mpg.

Cons

My least favorite thing is that it does not like wet snowy or icy roads. It really wants to slide though these and I have had several close calls because of this. The other thing that I don't really care for is that the AC for the driver is not as cold as the rest of the vents.

2008 Ford Freestar - Ford Freestar is the perfect minivan for growing families

I bought my Ford Freestar after I had my daughter. I had been a Ford loyalist for some time, owning two Windstar vans when my older daughters were babies and then moving into an Explorer as they got older. With another child entering the mix, I opted to go back to Ford and purchase the Freestar. I have kept the minivan as my daughter has grown and still love it as much today as they day I bought it.

Story

Every time I get in the minivan, you can see sand from our yearly family vacations to the beach. Just seeing the sand reminds me of the fun and happiness we have at the beach and instantly makes me smile and want to return to our family happy place.

Pros

When my daughter was a baby, the most positive attribute was the DVD player. It kept her entertained and happy while my older daughters were playing travel soccer, and we were traveling around the eastern seaboard. My Freestar took us to Florida twice, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, upstate New York, Boston, and all over New Jersey to soccer tournaments and games. The van gave us plenty of room for soccer equipment and baby equipment. My Freestar ran great and gave us many happy memories. My baby daughter is now 12 and playing travel soccer as well and the Freest... (more)

Cons

The only real con I can comment on is that the brakes have needed repair at a higher level than our other vehicle. However, we do drive it a great deal and most of the driving his highway driving.
