1998 Ford Windstar GL review from North America
"One of our all-time best buys!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We had to have some work done on the brakes at about 150,000 miles.
General comments?
This vehicle has been phenomenal for us! We have driven it many miles, and it is so great I am almost emotional attached to it. (Lucky for me, as I bought the van at an auction without planning to, and without my husband's knowledge)
We have used it to pull our camper, and it has performed the task faithfully.
As a mom, this has been my "headquarters" as I hauled the kids around here and there.
I do wish it had a driver's side rear door, and I am sure the newer minivans have easier and better ways to move the seats around, but I am sticking with this one as long as I can.
