What does Edmunds.com Say?
“The Freestar has all the right safety
features, but with better appointed, more
refined minivans available from Chrysler,
Honda, Nissan, Toyota and even Kia, it ultimately
doesn't measure up.”
The Pros and Cons from Edmunds.com
Pros
Plenty of safety features, upscale looks
inside and out, roomy interior, dealers'
willingness to discount.
Cons
Unrefined powertrains with less horsepower
and worse fuel mileage than most competitors,
low-grade interior materials, hard-to-remove
second-row seats, can't get a navigation
system.
Safety
The Windstar earned five stars across the
board in government crash tests, and picked
up a "Good" rating (the highest),
as well as a "Best Pick" designation,
in 40-mph frontal offset crash testing by
the IIHS. Four-wheel antilock disc brakes
with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution
are standard on all Freestars. Available
safety features include side curtain airbags
that span all three rows of seating, and
the AdvanceTrac stability and traction control
system, which now incorporates a panic brake
assist feature. Other key items include
a reverse-sensing system and self-sealing
tires.
