1996 Ford Windstar GL review from North America
"Great vehicle, would buy a new one if available"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Virtually nothing.
Brakes at regular intervals. Very typical.
Engine work has been minimal.
New serpentine belt, new idler pulley. Easy to install both...
General comments?
Been a terrific vehicle, would have recommended a new one to most people, except of course Ford doesn't make it anymore. Worst feature is (was) low MPG, but for a 1996 vehicle. Comfortable ride, not too noisy, been a real workhorse for us.
