"I own a 1998 green Ford Windstar gl, iT has been a lifesaver i bought it for almost 3 grand,2years ago, i was surprised at the room and power,and handling even in snow. it has i loved it,and i like that it sits high,but is easy to get in and out of. I needs a little work but that's OK i will get rid out in this winder for a newer minivan i might get a freestar,or a Chrysler town and country."

"I really wanted a van and have always been loyal to Ford and Toyota! I had high hopes for this vehicle since it was an old trusty ford! THIS VAN IS SO NOT AN OLD TRUSTY FORD!! I have had NOTHING but problems with this hunk of junk! heads, transmission, ignition, starter and popping a fuse constantly. I paid"

"Bought this van 6 years ago. Only have had one major issue (Fuel pump). Otherwise always ready to go. Its funny but it has become a member of the family. Finally did just get a newer vehicle. Another Ford of course! The only thing I wish was better is the mpg. Otherwise it has always been there for me! It does lock itself and the interior lights did stay on (till we took the bulbs out!, but I have found out that is common in these vans."
