2000 Ford Windstar Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I like the fact that it has tons of room and is very comfortable. I like that it has a very smooth ride and great MPG. The options are decent for a vehicle of its age and purpose. The Ford Windstar was actually the only mini-van produced from 1999-2003 that achieved all 5 stars for frontal crash test ratings and 4 stars on the side crash test. These tests were conducted by the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety).

I love the comfort while driving and I really like the room. The outside is good to look at and still have a business look The handling is great for a big vehicle, cost of maintenance is a little high, but affordable. Fairly good gas mileage.

I'm the original owner of a Windstar SEL, and I've had very little to complain about. I has some PITA electrical problems, but this may have been due to an aftermarket video system. Other than that, bubkus, just general wear & tear. Sure it handles like a minivan, but hey.. IT'S A MINIVAN. It seats 7, hauls a ton of stuff, and has pretty good get up and go. The Ford service teams that I've used have been excellent and I'm hoping to buy another Ford soon.

powerful v6, heavy braking like all vans being 10 yrs old with lots of travelling on it it needed a new engine after about 110, but nothing else major never any squeeks or rattles typical consevative van appearence inside and out not great gas milege...not bad for a v6 but newer vaqns are better not fun to drive at all

Better acceleration that the earlier years for these vans. You'll most likely have to replace the transmission around 80,000 miles. The sliding doors are a nice touch, but always stopped working during the winter for me. Better to just leave them off. Windows in back were tinted black, which is nice, plus looks good. You can add an awesome sound system in these vans. Fun to drive, but nothing that special about them.

This P.O.S. has stuck with me through thick and thin. Several car accidents, three transmission changes, six tires, and various dings and dents. Its a sloppy thing but she'll haul ass through rain and snow. And being a michigander, thats saying something.
