A Ford I Actually Like. — Awesome family vehicle. Better gas mileage than an SUV, and as much room as Minivan. Drives great with plenty of power. Avg. 22-25 mpg. Has enough room for whole family and lots of groceries. The folding seats offer a lot of options for hauling people and cargo.

2005 Ford Freestyle SEL AWD Review
ProsThis family hauler is spacious and more versatile than its competitors. It can haul 7 passengers with ample luggage space, has DC power outlets wherever you need them, but can also fold seats for more space while carrying 5 or 6 passengers. It does everything well. ConsThe AC can go out - we replaced ours - and that is not uncommon. Thankfully, the replacement comes with Ford warranty and blows ice cold again.

The Super Family Wagon — This vehicle takes care of all of your needs very well. I love the power, ride, space, versatility, and overall comfort. I look forward to adding more miles to this vehicle knowing how dependable it is. We've driven from Michigan to Canada, Florida, New York, and Oregon/Washington, and the only trouble was AC going out (Montana during 104° F blasting heat). Great car and worth every penny!

ProsDecent gas mileage, variety of seating configurations, ideal to haul children around. The amenities in the car are par for the course, and seems to have great safety features - Side curtain airbags ect Conslow towing capacity - 2000lbs

Great Family Vehicle — I have enjoyed owning the car. Was a little worried about the AWD from a few horror stories (which you see about any car) but have not had one issue with the car in the first 36000 miles i've driven the car. It has around 200 hp, which at the time I thought was under powered, but now with the cost of gas at over $4.00 a gallon, I am glad it did not come with a 4.6L that the explorer came with. Got used to the CVT transmission right away, and quite frankly enjoy it. It is always smooth starting up, and had a steady accelleration curve. Is extremely responsive when needed. | ||

ProsI am a mom and used this car to shuttle my kids everywhere. It's great for hauling them, their stuff, my dog and gardening supplies. It has lots of room and is very comfortable. It is a nice looking car and a great color. It has lots of leg room and space between the seats so the kids don't get squished. The visibility is exceptional. It has been a very reliable car. We have had it for 7 years and kept it in great condition, so it has been very reliable. ConsOur older son is 21 now and I want a smaller car, so I want to sell this one.

Great Suv In Amazing Condition — This car handles like a big car, not like a truck. It has a 6-cyl engine, so it has good power. It gets good mileage for a big car, about 21 mpg average. It has always run very well. It was recalled for jumping forward in low gear but Ford fixed that and it has been fine since. I have always felt very safe in it since it is pretty big.

It Served Us Well As A Family For 3years — The comfort driving the Van, the reliability in all our trips and also the space capacity for all our young ones. There is enough space for everybody and we never had any major problem with the van over the years. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

Fine Car — not bad car; actually just what we needed, great 'do everything' vehicle. mileage is not what I expected. AWD is fine for summer vacations, where we get something like 20-24 mpg driving to Denver from San Jose. Quiet and comfortable; great A/C Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

ProsJust replaced wife's car that was totalled - so not sure yet. Wife loves it, I will check it out if I can ever find her not in it :-) ConsAir conditioner has problem, blowing hot or warm air. We live in a hot climate so I need to get this fixed. There seems to be a lot of problems with this on the Fords from what I have found

Cool Family Car With Climate Control Issues — The car will hold a lot of people and equipment. It drives like a car, not a van or truck with a low center of gravity. Ergonomics are well thought out and unbelievably comfortable. It has a lot of areas to store things close to the driver. Highschoolers are transported with all their junk a lot easier. Just need to resolve the A/C issues! Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

ProsSeats 7 fairly comfortably, AWD is nice. ConsLacks low-end power, grunt (if you will).

Rather Have A Porsche But Good For Getting Around Town And Driving On The Snow. — Quiet, dependable, comfortable vehicle. Ours has leather a sunroof, a nice stereo. I wish it had more low end power. The CVT transmission (shiftless) doesn't have the get up and go that you would expect. We wish the gas mileage was a little better, but it does have AWD and traction control, which is great for the snow, soooooo.... Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Love It — The Freestyle is a great family car and seats 7. Very nice interior and super in the winter. We have had no problems with it and it drives great. Everything is within reach of the driver and the kids have a lot of room and no one is fighting for space. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||
