| sar_11001's Full Review: 2005 Ford Freestyle AWD |
We purchased our 2005 Limited Freestyle in August 2005. We've been on a few long trips with it all ready and I must say we are quite pleased with this vehicle. It’s sure footed on the roads, and provides better then average gas mileage. It contains a high degree of versatility with a low degree of compromise. Although it's not as powerful as a V6 sports sedan as discussed in some on-line forums, it has more then adequate power, especially vs. conventional SUV's, pickups or minivans. The engine responds confidently when summoned thanks to the CVT transmission. The storage compartments are quite useful. It possesses great value at under $35K with traction control, AWD, heated/power seats/mirrors, dual climate control, leather, 18' wheels, monochromatic rear mirror, reverse sensing system, MP3 player, seat memory, keypad entry, airbags all around, 3rd row seating, sunroof, message center, auto head lights, and a roof rack to name a few. I recommend this car not only to families, but active outdoor lifestyle individuals who demand versatility, functionality and value.
