1998 Ford Windstar LX review from North America
"Good used car value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tie-rods were replaced under warranty.
Fuel gauge was inaccurate.
General comments?
Very comfortable highway cruiser and people hauler. Does not have the latest bells and whistles, like a 2nd sliding door and disappearing rear seat, but good value so far.
This was one of the last 98's made and I think that they got most of the bugs out.
So I'm completely satisfied thus far. Only question mark is long term reliability/durability. Time will tell.
