1998 Ford Windstar GL review from North America
"Good job, Ford, love your Windstar!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have went through an alternator and a battery and tires, that's it. This van has been easy on my pocket book.
General comments?
I'm looking to purchase another Windstar that's newer and so we are shopping around, we now have 170 thousand miles on this one and it still is going strong.
We have enjoyed the rear a/c and the smooth ride, the captain seats, everything has been good so far.
Another thing, we have used this van to haul 2x4's home, pcs of paneling, even a mini bike or two. We can take the back seat out and use that space for just about anything... and the gas mileage is great.
