2007 Ford Freestyle consumer reviews

love it. because the fresstyle was such an awesome car and fuel prices skyrocketed Ford changed the body style of the Explorers to match the Freestyle

I think of this vehicle as more like a large station wagon than an SUV. It has plenty of room, seats are very comfortable, lots of power, fair gas mileage, and comfortable to handle. The ride is great, the vehicle is quiet, and so far nothing has gone wrong with it. But I've only owned it for a month, and the vehicle I selected had only 36,000 on it. The turning radius could be a little tighter but that's the only criticism that I can think of. Push-button entry is one of my favorite features... you never have to worry about accidently locking yourself out. I would highly recommend this vehicle as an all-around personal vehicle or family vehicle.

Great on gas for what it is!! Leather interior, and electric and heatee seats... 6 disc radio! Dual A/C! 3 ROW seats excellent for a big family. Very comfortable! Rides great

Solid euro handling ( Volvo platform) with smart Ford use of space and flexible 3 row seating make this the best station wagon ever. Cavernous inside cargo allows 10 foot boards to be carried INSIDE (All three rows fold flat..), or seat 7 adult passengers comfortably. Efficient CVT coupked with great 3.0 duratec engine gets smooth 27mpg on highway at 70mph. Smooth lines and functional elegant interior, before Ford wentback to bumpy bling bling designs.

Other then the CVT which has been a pain and fixed under warranty, it has been a good family car, very versatile. I would have preferred the top model which did not have the CVT. I would not recommend the version with the CVT unless it was fixed. I think ford made a mistake renaming it the Taurus X and then discontinuing it (then using its platform for the car based Explorer which was a lot more money).

Cool car with super useful seat configuration options. Looking forward to outdoorsing with this vehicle.

Love my car. Great comfortable car for long trips. Downsizing due to retirement. Very reliable traveling through rough weather. AWD. New inspection, battery and tires. Exterior clear coat.

Had a Thanksgiving Sunday accident on Mass Pike, 2 cars slammed me from behind in my beloved 2007 Ford Freestye.....trailer hitch took all of the damage! Car was totaled due to frame bent from trailer hitch shoved under the car. Found another 2007 Ford Freestyle at Thrift Motors in Irvington, NJ...THIS IS HOW ALL CAR SALES PEOPLE SHOULD BE, NOT JUST USED CAR SALESMEN! Great out of state transaction, GREAT CAR! I am so happy to have my safe Ford Freestyle back and from a wonderful, honest, helpful, car dealer! Thank you to John and Uncle Sal at THRIFT MOTORS, IRVINGTON, NJ!

Had the car for 5 years and had nothing but trouble after 2 years. Instrument Cluster had to be replaced $$$ out-of-pocket expense. Brakes had to be replaced after 20,000 miles. Rotor is wearing down fast. Accelerator motors (Gas Pedal) had to be replaced with diagnostic $$$ out-of-pocket expense. The sad truth about this vehicle is that it has too many known defects and Ford refuses to acknowledge them through TSB recalls. This is the reason that Ford has discontinued this model--Terrible reliability. When my transmission takes a dive, I won't be able to have it rebuilt because Ford refuses to rebuild them and don't offer spare parts to private mechanics. Must purchase a new transmission. The cost ?? The price for a new small vehicle.

Great vehicle. Positive features listed below Inside design roomy, well thought out 3rd row "fairly comfortable" seat - good leg room Good mileage for a big vehicle - getting 24-26 2 temps. on heated seats / separate cabin temp. control Love this vehicle! Only suggestion: Window glass tinting is not dark enough - hence 4 stars on exterior design Should never have stopped making this car. Can only get this car with this transmission from 05 to 07. The Taurus version gets poor mileage - transmission is different than in the Freestyle
