Nice car, hauls my stuff around town and far from town without being gas-hungry... Wished it was appointed a little bit better, the new Taurus X addresses everything the freestyle fell short on, being a much more awesome car nonetheless... No marketing whatsoever on the part of FoMoCo whatsoever will make this care go the way of the Taurus..

Pros — Driving position, quietness, gas-sipping for a V6, roomy and comfortable
Cons — Interior quality, iffy design, some cheap materials used

I love how much room this vehicle has.  I was able to take home a clothes dryer home in it.  The performance is good.  The only thing I do not like is if the vehicle has bad gas it reacts.  Other than that it is a great car.  Has alot of features.  Highly recommend.

Pros — Room, Appearance, Handling, gas mileage
Cons — None Really

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.

Pros — Decent 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
Cons — low towing capacity - 2000lbs

Well, it's a fricken station wagon.  What do you want!  It has 3 rows of seat, plus, 5* crash rating for side, front crashes, plus.  I've never had to do anything to this car other than keep up on oil changes and change the wipers.  Remember,,,this is for delivering children to volleyball, football, band, etc..oh, and it has room for my 2 labs as well.  Oh, and it also gets around 19 to 20 mpg in the city.

Pros — safety, seating capacity, overall comfort.
Cons — the dash compartment is sort of cheesy

This thing drives wonderfully. You don't notice gear change. Great on
gas. Mine is fully loaded, but the only thing it does not have is the dvd
player. It handles nice on the highway. When you want it to go it goes.
This is one car that I'm going to keep for a very long long time..

Pros — Anyone will love this car!!! I give five stars if the star thing would work
the right way!!!
Cons — there is nothing wrong with it!!

Yea, it's a family car but it's kinda good looking and has a whole crap load of room in it.  

Pros — Great fuel mileage, lots of room, and surprising performance.
Cons — Seats stain really easy.

Car is great. I can separate the kids and still have room for all their stuff.  Good gas mileage.

Excellent car, extra roomy.  Great for cross-country travel as well and around town.  All the options make it super nice.  Kids love it (and the DVD player).  A great car all around.  Love the CVT, will be nice if this transmission catches on in all the cars.  Gas mileage is pretty good for what it is.  Our model is only rated 24 hwy, but we get 26 alot.  

Pros — TONS of cup holders!!  Fold-flat seats. Very versatile.
Cons — Can't see rear-view when DVD screen is down...but that's a problem with all roof-mounted DVD players.

3 kids who love this car.

Recently had it to the dealer and got a loner sedan, Toyota Camry and my kids were devasted.  Why do people think the camry is a great car....had a taurus 2000 that had a better feel than the camry...but thats another post, ;)

When we purchased the Freestyle I was looking for ANYTHING that wasn't a traditional SUV and definitely not a van.  I was ecstatic that a car existed for a family of 5 with two dogs and we all fit in the car!

We've really enjoyed the car, its great around town and long trips are very comfortable, sound system is terrific and the DVD is a pleasure
