Drivers of the 2006 Ford Freestyle tend to like it, but have a few reservations about recommending it wholesale. Among complaints were that the base 3.0-liter V6 engine gets on the lower side of the fuel efficiency estimate, though they tout the excellent handling in rough weather and roomy interior.
The Freestyle is available as a front- or all-wheel drive, and has SE, SEL, and Limited as trims.
The Freestyles adaptability ensures it can handle itself on the road with grace, all with surprising fuel economy. Dont get fooled by the stylish mid-size look. Once inside the Freestyle looks and feels like a full-sized luxury dream ride. The many included safety features provide you and your passengers with a secure ride and peace of mind. Also note as a Freestyle owner I got news that Ford knows about uneven wear on the brake pads and will be issuing new pads in the 4th quarter. I am still waiting for mine to come in. Other than that the vehicle handles better than most SUV / VAN's that I have driven as the limited has an 18" wheel base and has a low center of gravity which helps it stay on the road in various conditions. All in all this is a very nice vehicle and great for the long trips.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2006 Ford Freestyle appreciate its spaciousness and comfort, especially for families. Many drivers highlighted its practicality for transporting kids and pets. However, some mentioned the vehicle's lower height compared to other SUVs, making it less ideal for off-road use."
Its a sick 6 seater beast that refuses to die! Its impressive how almost everything works still.
November 28, 2024Never thought I would OWN a Ford - but now I think I might want another one!!! I LOVE this Vehicle!!! It sits up higher than a car, drives like a car, and has enough room for a small army OR bunk beds! I pursued this vehicle off of a recommendation and would certainly recommend it to ANYONE!!!
September 7, 2008Great vehicle, bought it when I started a family and I couldn't have asked for a more reliable car. Maintained it in great condition and kept the interior and exterior clean. The navigation system is a life savor. Great car

December 19, 2013this SUV is a mid size and the 7 pasanber seating comes in handy. The fold flat seats(including the front passanger) helps with large loads or hauling lumber for thoes projects that you want to build, but never have time for. The only thing I don't like is that it sits a little lower than most SUV's, so you have to be careful when you go off road.
May 10, 2010Thought I'd hate this car when we first got it. It's comfortable and very easy to drive. Hauls my entire family (2 adults, 1 child and a 90 lb dog) with great ease. Cup holders everywhere and you can stuff a ton of things into it.
March 26, 2008Its great for a mom of two that wants to have room look good and not spend $90.00 on gas
April 8, 2008Features are all good. I believe I got a decent deal with this car. I would compare it to a station wagon.
April 30, 2024i love this car. it fits my family just perfect because i am not the mini van mom. i can tote my 4 kids around with no problem. i do wish that it was a little bigger so that our 2 black lab puppies would fit better. overall i would definately recomend this car to anyone and everyone.
