1998 Ford Windstar GL review from North America
"So far a very good vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One badly worn tire due to wheel alignment.
General comments?
The van has not let me down thus far.
I was disappointed with the alignment going out.
Put four new tires on at 90000 km for added winter safety, but don't feel that is a real issue.
I certainly hope I don't run into the same issues that I have read about in the other reviews.
I purchased my van privately, maybe that has something to do with the quality of the vehicle. I tend to think the opinion of salesman at dealerships are often far from the mark.
