A step up from GM and Chrysler products, Still a Step behind the Japanese

Date of Review:  Dec 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: Windstar is a solid performer with a long history. Lease one and wait to see if the Freestar lives up to the Windstar legacy.
Review: (UPDATE at the bottom of this review)

With a family our size, there are very few vehicles that will fit everyone comfortably with room enough for the luggage.

We started on the minivan kick in 1998 with the GM "dustbuster" on...

Had my first Windstar for 9 years had to get another one

Date of Review:  Apr 6, 2008
The Bottom Line: This was the last year of the Windstar and the used market is flooded with them so you should be able to get one at a good price.
Review: We purchased a used 2003 Windstar last summer after owning a 1995 for almost 10 years. My only hope is that this one will last as long. Our main reason for choosing another windstar was past performance. I find that the Windstar has a firmer ride...

What a MISTAKE

Date of Review:  Oct 27, 2006
The Bottom Line: While you may get lucky and find a Windstar without massive problems, I wouldn't count on it. Save yourself a headache and SKIP THIS CAR.
Review: We bought a used 2003 Ford Windstar about one year ago. About 2 months after we bought it we had to pay $700 to fix the BRAKES. Seems there was some huge problem with them, and after a 3rd opinion we decided we'd just have to pay. Argh. But the big...

We bought another one!

Date of Review:  Apr 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this to family who want the extra room and great comfort for in town or on trips!
Review: In 1998 we purchased a Ford Windstar and loved it for our growing family. With 4 children we needed the room. We were so impressed that we decided to purchase a Ford Windstar 2003 this year.

We purchased the Ford Windstar 2003 this March...

A beautiful vehicle but TOTALLY Unreliable

Date of Review:  Mar 4, 2005
The Bottom Line: DO NOT BUY - RUN, do not walk away from this vehicle!
Review: Our 2003 Windstar is a beautiful vehicle. Maybe it has too many bells and whistles but to us it has been a lemon. We are on out third VCR (and this one will not rewind now) because Ford will only give you a "REBUILT" unit under warranty. The rear...

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: you will love it.
Review: I recently rented a 2003 Ford Windstar minivan. I was pleased with the amount of room that it offered. the fourth door makes it really convenient to get in and out of. I like the feature with the automatic doors and locks, it really came in handy...

Don't buy it

Date of Review:  Jul 12, 2003
The Bottom Line: Don't buy it. It is not as good as other vans and SUV's. Just rent it for trips. Otherwise, get another car.
Review: This car is not a very good car. It has decent handling for it's large size, but does not compare to cars in it's class. It is quite uncomfortable. The seats are not as soft as I would like. Every time I drive it the rear sensor goes off. It beeps...

Date of Review:  Apr 18, 2007
Review: I have this car for 4 years, 56000km It is very comfortable during driving, a lot of space. The negative side is reliability. Some small things are falling pretty often: pipe licking, air bag light on/off, manufacturing recall for back sits, break...

Like a big Taurus

Date of Review:  Sep 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: The new Freestar is the old Windstar refined. So if your looking for a new one, go with the Freestar and you won't be dissappointed.
Review: 88,000+ miles on our '03 and only 1 problem, one of the door sensors isn't registering the door closed, so the light stays on indicating a door open and the interior lights don't come on. Kind of a minor thing, but annoying.
About 85,000 I...

Don't let this WINDstar blow past you!

Date of Review:  Sep 13, 2002
The Bottom Line: Hands Down, the best Minivan on the market!
Review: Well, since I wrote my last review I was a Store Manager for a cell phone company here locally and now I have moved on to Ford New Car Sales. Therefore, I hope my epinion is taken seriously because I have a lot of product knowledge.
