1996 Ford Windstar GL review from North America
"Great family mover"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all.
General comments?
I don't see how everyone is having so much of a problem with these Windstars. I have a 16 year old son that drives the thing to hell and back and it has never had any problems at all. No motor or transmission failures. Nothing. Unless you neutral drop it every time you take off I don't see how you are having such a terrible time with it. The brakes work great, has saved me several times. The acceleration is good enough for me to be able to get onto the high-way without having to worry. My windstar has served me well and hasn't given me anything to complain about. We take it on trips and drive it back and forth to sports activities all of the time.
