Tips on Buying Cars: minivan, crash test rating, ford freestar

Question
Do you know if the Ford Freestar is a good reliable minivan, and if not do you have any recommendations? Lastly what is the difference form the Ford freestar and Ford Windstarr?

Answer
Hi Terrell
If you liked the Windstar then you will like the Freestar...its the same minivan....Ford simply made a name change in 2004 with a new market approach hoping to increase sales...
The Freestar got a nice feature where a third row seat folds into the floor but then again thats something that the Mazda MPV has had for years...
The Freestar is rated as very reliable mechanically... but if your thinking safety...it has not got a crash test rating by NHTSA as yet...
Go GOOGLE.com and type Windstar-Freestar...you will get loads of info
