2003 Ford Windstar

Pros: Very comfortable, lots of extras for a good price!

Cons: Rear defroster and trunk are picky!

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this to family who want the extra room and great comfort for in town or on trips!

Review: In 1998 we purchased a Ford Windstar and loved it for our growing family. With 4 children we needed the room. We were so impressed that we decided to purchase a Ford Windstar 2003 this year.

We purchased the Ford Windstar 2003 this March for...

Pros: Comfortable, plenty of power.

Cons: Bench seats are a pain to get out alone.

The Bottom Line: The new Freestar is the old Windstar refined. So if your looking for a new one, go with the Freestar and you won't be dissappointed.

Review: 88,000+ miles on our '03 and only 1 problem, one of the door sensors isn't registering the door closed, so the light stays on indicating a door open and the interior lights don't come on. Kind of a minor thing, but annoying. About 85,000 I changed the ...

Pros: Smooth engine,car like performance,luxurious,spacious

Cons: the more options you choose and you can end up in BMW price range

The Bottom Line: I recommend to families who need more then an usual boring minivan

Review: I purchased the 03 windstar after having good relations with the previous 96 and 98 windstar i had.Tehy were strong,powerful and comfortable machines(even thought some owners had engine problems i never had).For 2003,windstar is refreshed to make the ...

Pros: Excellent features, very convenient!

Cons: Absolutely nothing!

The Bottom Line: Hands Down, the best Minivan on the market!

Review: Well, since I wrote my last review I was a Store Manager for a cell phone company here locally and now I have moved on to Ford New Car Sales. Therefore, I hope my epinion is taken seriously because I have a lot of product knowledge.

...

Pros: Big engine, safety, advanced traction control, and power dual sliders.

Cons: Too much engine noise and hit-or-miss service departments.

The Bottom Line: Windstar is a solid performer with a long history. Lease one and wait to see if the Freestar lives up to the Windstar legacy.

Review: (UPDATE at the bottom of this review) With a family our size, there are very few vehicles that will fit everyone comfortably with room enough for the luggage. We started on the minivan kick in 1998 with the GM "dustbuster" on wheels, the Chevy ...

Pros: Good solid ride, room for 6 adults comfortably

Cons: Sensor occasionally give false warnings. Not very fuel efficient

The Bottom Line: This was the last year of the Windstar and the used market is flooded with them so you should be able to get one at a good price.

Review: We purchased a used 2003 Windstar last summer after owning a 1995 for almost 10 years. My only hope is that this one will last as long. Our main reason for choosing another windstar was past performance. I find that the Windstar has a firmer ride than ...

Pros: big, lots of room and versatility.

Cons: gas hog.

The Bottom Line: you will love it.

Review: I recently rented a 2003 Ford Windstar minivan. I was pleased with the amount of room that it offer ...

Pros: comfortable, big space

Cons: Not reliable

Review: I have this car for 4 years, 56000km It is very comfortable during driving, a lot of space. The negative side is reliability. Some small things are falling pretty often: pipe licking, air bag light on/off, manufacturing recall for back sits, break rotors ...

Pros: Beautiful paint and Car

Cons: Beauty is skin deep. Underneath is junk.

The Bottom Line: DO NOT BUY - RUN, do not walk away from this vehicle!

Review: Our 2003 Windstar is a beautiful vehicle. Maybe it has too many bells and whistles but to us it has been a lemon. We are on out third VCR (and this one will not rewind now) because Ford will only give you a "REBUILT" unit under warranty. The rear ...

Pros: Dual sliding doors

Cons: Transmission failed in 3 year old car, other repairs were very expensive.

The Bottom Line: While you may get lucky and find a Windstar without massive problems, I wouldn't count on it. Save yourself a headache and SKIP THIS CAR.

Review: We bought a used 2003 Ford Windstar about one year ago. About 2 months after we bought it we had to pay $700 to fix the BRAKES. Seems there was some huge problem with them, and after a 3rd opinion we decided we'd just have to pay. Argh. But the big ...
