Used 2005 Ford Freestyle for Sale

This car has been a very reliable vehicle. I have liked how it has performed in both city driving and on the highway. I have a rather large family (4 kids) and it has fit us very comfortably on some long trips. The driver's seat is comfortable and firm. The console area is not too bulky as I'm a fairly broad-shouldered person. The trunk area is just the right size for us to store 6 medium-sized suitcases when we travel. The back seats fold down pretty easily when we need to haul some larger things.

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.
