Ford Freestar :
The 2006 Ford Freestar Wagon is a 4-door, 7-passenger mini van. Very little has changed for the 2006 Ford Freestar. Ford has simplified the minivan's trim levels, and there are now just SE, SEL and Limited trims.
The SE is equipped with a 3.9-liter, V6, 194hp engine that achieves 18-mpg in the city and 24-mpg on the highway. The Limited is equipped with a standard 4.2-liter, V6, 201-hp engine. A 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims. SE models come with a second-row bench seat, a fold-flat third-row seat, cruise control, and a CD player. With the SEL, you get a rear air conditioner, a power driver seat, and second-row bucket seats. The top-line Limited includes upgraded interior trim with leather upholstery, power-sliding doors, automatic climate control and additional exterior chrome accents.
The Freestar is heavier than most minivans; therefore it is not as adept when negotiating corners. Both engines offer enough power for easy around-town travel, but they come up short during highway passing maneuvers. Ride quality is comfortable and stable. It's easy to drive, courtesy the responsive handling.
The interior has a high quality look. It has a deep well behind the third row that's perfect for securely stowing luggage or groceries. Fold the third-row seat into the floor, and you get a big, flat cargo area behind the seats. Tow ratings of up to 3,500 pounds are possible.
Freestar earned five stars in the frontal impact crash testing. It is a "Best Pick" for frontal offset crashes by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
