Used Ford Freestyle for Sale

This has been a great reliable family car. The 3rd row was what drew us to this car because at the time there were only a few crossovers on the market. There is plenty of space, and its very easy to drive. We've had the car for 10 years, and it's gotten us through the young children phase. The transmission is different than most other cars. It has the same type of transmission as a snowplow, which makes it extremely fuel efficient. That was another selling point at purchase. You won't win any acceleration contests with this car, but that makes it safe for the family. It has in the last year developed some squeaks and wobbles which can be attributed to its age. I wish this car was still on the market because I would buy an updated version of it in a heartbeat. I don't like the comps Ford has available now. We have enjoyed owning this car and will be sad when it's time to trade it in. I would recommend it to anyone that is considering purchasing a reliable used car.

We traded our 2002 Ford Explorer for an 2007 FWD Freestyle SEL about eight months ago. This is a terrific vehicle in styling, comfort, utility, performance, and reliability. The first time my sister took it on a long road trip she called enroute to ask if I thought the gas gauge was faulty. This question came because of the gas tank indicator dropping so slowly, mileage turned out to be around 32 mpg with cruise set at 75. Keep up the good work Ford!!

This vehicle has a lot of room for passengers and converts fairly easily to allow for hauling of furniture and other large items. However, it does not respond quickly to the gas or brake pedals. If you are accustomed to a responsive car, then you will need to adjust your driving style. Also, there are no luxury upgrades such as leather seats, heated seats, etc. The interior is functional but not beautiful. Regarding maintenance: The Ford Freestyle does hold up fairly well under normal conditions. It does need regular oil changes and checkups though. After about twelve years, the air conditioning gave out. When we took the Freestyle in to our local Ford dealership for repairs, we learned that fixing the air conditioning would cost more than what the car is currently worth! So, of course, we opted to live without air conditioning. While we were there, one of the Ford mechanics mentioned that he also owned a Freestyle and lives in fear that the transmission will give out. That would pretty much be the end of the car according to him. Thankfully ours seems to be behaving itself for the time being, but we also don't drive it for long distances. The car is currently living out its last years making short trips back and forth to school and for various shopping errands around town.
