Best car

Have had the freestyle for fifteen years. Very happy with the size and performance and wish they still made the car and I would get another one. It has made several trips to Mass, VT, Maine and even to Chicago and has always run good and a pleasure to drive.

Original owner and have been very pleased with its reliability and performance

Original owner and have been very pleased with its reliability and performance. Leather interior has held up well and is comfortable. Fold down second row seats have often been useful. Liked the sunroof.

Great vehicle

I would say that the 2005 Ford Freestyle is without doubt the best vehicle Ford has ever produced. If they still built it, I would not hesitate in buying another one. I purchased this vehicle in 2006 with only 10,000 miles and is now over 100000 and I have enjoyed every mile.

All around excellent value

The Ford Freestyle in many ways was ahead of its time. It's like a Swiss pocket knife. Although it doesn't excel in any one particular category, the sum is excellent value. The 200 horse power and CVT transmission do not blow away anyone, but the car has good mileage. The car "theater" seating allows the 2nd row to be higher than the 1st row, and the 3rd row higher than the second. This allow everyone to see DVD movies, etc. The third row "flips" into flat to allow the whole car to fit almost anything. The down side of the "flip" feature (instead of fold down) is that you cannot install seat cover. The interior material is hard and not flashy, but after 14 years, it has no cracks and strong.

WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE 2005 FORD FREESTYLE.

I LIKE IT AS IT DRIVES NICELY AND WE HAVE GOTTEN GOOD GAS MILEAGE. MY COMPLAINT IS THE FACT THAT IT REQUIRES FOUR ALIKE TIRES IN ORDER FOR IT TO OPERATE CORRECTLY.

Piece of Junk!

Had to replace the throttle after the warranty just expired. Recently 3 Ford alternator. 3wks ago a new engine-EXPENSIVE AND Last week the transmission went out. I had to junk the car and I am very upset because I took very good care of this car. What a piece of shit. It also cost me a lot of money in rental cars.

Transmission is horrible

I have had the transmission rebuilt at 155,000 miles and it still is stuck in limp mode... awful car..I’m still trouble shooting it in hopes that I will be able to drive it again after spending so much money to fix it.
