2002 Ford Windstar

Pros: Smooth ride, Looks good , Braking system , TV /Entertainment System

Cons: Rear heat , Engine noisy , Electrical system

The Bottom Line: I would recommend it if you couldn't afford anything else, it beats walking . Other wise shop all your options

Review: I purchased my used 2002 Ford Windstar in January 2003. We had a 1998 Ford Expedition 4X4 that had a lift kit and 33" tires , dual exhaust , the works that we traded in on it. Man was I stupid ( I guess ) . Over all I guess the 2002 Ford Windstar is...

Pros: - Safety rating, instrument layout, seat comfort

Cons: - Poor quality of initial workmanship, gas mileage, blind spots, road/engine noise, cruise control

Review: I would not recommend the purchase of a 2002 Ford Windstar SEL to anyone. This was the first minivan we bought and I regret that we did not look around a little more. I have had numerous electrical problems (interior lights, entertainment...

Pros: Ride, Brakes, Safety, comfortable

Cons: Fuel Economy, Engine noise, Rear Cup Holders, No front map lamps

The Bottom Line: If looking for low price, and quite good vehicle, go for it.

Review: I know that Ford Windstar is not the first on the list of minivans. But 2 reasons made me lease this minivan. 1) It was the cheapest price (ford = afford) I found w/ all options (Cassette/CD, Power driver seat, fog lamps, Anti-Theft Alarm, Side...

Pros: Roomy, dual doors

Cons: styling, mechanical

The Bottom Line: Buy something else for 30 grand!

Review: I recently received a new 2002 Ford Windstar as a company vehicle. I have to say that this was an extremely bad choice. First off, the body styling is very boring compared to the rest of the mini vans on the market. The nose is long, the body is a...

Pros: dual sliding doors, heat and AC control from rear, radio control from rear, remote start

Cons: Not great gas mileage, I am getting 16 miles to the gallon. 25 gallon tank.

Review: I purchased my 2002 Ford Windstar in 2004, used. Prior to owning my Windstar SE, I have not owned any Ford vehicles. I am now a loyal Ford customer. I have had no major issues with the Windstar. The dual sliding doors makes it easy with 3 kids. The...

Pros: Lots of goodies

Cons: They break

The Bottom Line: Beware, this thing is a broken down money pit!

Review: Bought used at about 20,000 miles, now have 45,000 miles on it. This is the Limited package. This is the newest and lowest-mileage vehicle I have ever personally owned, and it has been a disappointment. Here's a list of my gripes:

1. The...

Pros: The conversion allows me to carry and offload and load a 250 lb electric wheelchair

Cons: The conversion took out center console so the built in player and screen are useless

Review: The conversion itself dropped the floor ten inches, including the space required for the door sliding hardware.
I like everything about it but two things
1) The conversion forced them to move the emergency brake from the center console to...

Pros: Rides like a car

Cons: No DVD option, Rear air is noisy

The Bottom Line: I would buy one now. Rebates are high and quality seems to be flawless on this model. They seem to have worked all the bugs out.

Review: We picked up a 2002 SE in Sept 2002. Hasn't had to go in for service yet. I am very impressed with the ride and handling. I think it is as quick as my V8 explorer. The 24 gallon tank is nice, as we can make it all the way to Chicago without having...

Pros: Dual side doors.

Cons: Tail window cannot be opened.

The Bottom Line: The 2002 Ford Windstar is a dependable minivan, although not the most comfortable for drivers.

Review: When the lease on our previous minivan was running out, we decided to see what others were available. We live in New York City, so in addition to the potholes and traffic, we experience quite a range of temperatures throughout the year, requiring a...

Pros: Great Acceleration. Roomy.

Cons: Difficult to pull-out rear passenger seats.

The Bottom Line: If you are on a budget and have a large family, this is a great buy.

Review: Being a family of 5, having a Mini-Van is real nice.

We were torn between the Toyota Sienna and the Ford Windstar. While the Sienna appears to be higher quality and more dependable, the Windstar is cheaper and roomier. The seats are very...
