1996 Ford Windstar LX review from North America
"An Fabulous Used-Automobile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've only had the car for 7 months now and I've only encountered these following problems...
- Front struts needed replacement at 150,324 miles.
- Sliding door needed to be re-aligned.
- Seats have started to slightly wear.
General comments?
Ford has outdone itself again. Although this is my first car, my family has had many Ford's before. This car has many unique and dis functional qualities. They are...
PROS:
- A great car for moving you and your friends around town.
- Has very comfortable seats.
- Can accelerate quickly and stay that high for parkway or around town use.
- Has a very stylish interior and exterior design.
- Has great cargo room while both the second and third rows are up.
- Has a cool second row radio with earphone jacks so when me and the front passenger can talk, the rear people can listen to music.
- There are so many great features I cannot describe them all.
CONS:
- The one side sliding door. Although it is inconvenient, I really don't have a HUGE problem with it.
- The Car is great so there isn't many cons on this car.
* I would recommend this car to any first time drivers, It's the best for me!
