1997 Ford Windstar GL review from North America
"It's been my best vehicle, all Fords"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Struts and related mountings replaced at age 4.
Front sway bar replaced at age 7.
No other unusual repairs.
General comments?
Has never needed a tune-up after 120000 miles and almost 8 years.
Has served me well.
Test drove a 2005 Freestar in December 2004, saw no need to replace my Windstar.
It's been well-maintained and never died or left me stranded!
