2001 ford windstar review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Comfort and performance. introductionford's windstar is equipped well, and that's an understatement. It comes standard with a strong, 200-horsepower v6, room for seven, and enough options to satisfy anyone. However, the windstar is the only one with available power-adjustable pedals. Short and tall drivers should be able to adjust the seats and pedals for the safest, most comfortable driving position. changes for the 2001 model year include a new transmission, revised front styling, an optional stability control system, and a new sport model. lineupall windstars come with air conditioning, 3. 8-liter v6 engine, antilock brakes (abs), and dual airbags. with seating for seven, the three-door windstar lx starts at $21,990. The sport model features fog lights, painted bumpers and body side moldings, 16-inch alloy wheels, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. walkaroundthe 2001 windstar includes a redesigned front end appearance. Other than that, the look has not changed much since it was first introduced in 1995, but it still looks contemporary. windstar appears a little over-bodied. When bigger fender flares were added the track was not increased so the wheels do not fill them as well as before -- even with the bigger tires on the sel. ford and mazda have adopted chrysler's design for sliding doors by neatly hiding the runners along the lower edge of the rear side window instead of being gouged out of the body side panel. This gives the windstar a less utilitarian, more upscale look. It's also nice for those who find opening and closing the doors a bit strenuous. The one shortcoming is that they move more slowly than manually operated doors, which can be closed in literally no time at all. It takes a few seconds for the electric motor to close the doors. Kids love the power doors. A safety feature automatically stops the doors from closing if any object, such as a child's leg, is encountered as they close. the windstar is available in one length. It is among the largest of the minivans, and is directly comparable to the dodge grand caravan, the chrysler town & country, and the honda odyssey. Windstar's total interior volume with seats removed is nearly identical to these big minivans. interiorstarting at the front, the windstar has a nicely designed and substantial dashboard that wraps around the driver. This positions the radio and climate controls within easy reach. Two cupholders are attached to a tray that slides out; spring-loaded sides allow them to accommodate a variety of drinking containers. a convenient wide-angle mirror can be used to keep an eye on what's going on in the rear seats. Another unique option is a small voice recorder attached to the sun visor above the driver. It can be used to quickly record notes and other ideas that might come to mind while driving. the available power-adjustable pedals are very useful in the windstar. At the touch of a button, a driver with short legs can move the pedals nearer to the seat. This allows the driver to sit farther from the steering wheel, which not only improves control but also lessens the potential for injury from the airbag going off in an accident. the sel we tested came with a center console on the floor between the two front seats. In many ways this is inconvenient as it makes it difficult for adults to walk back to the rear of the vehicle. This $1295 option is a boon for long trips with the kids, virtually eliminating the question, 'how much farther?' the system includes a pair of headphones so the driver and front-seat passenger do not have to listen to whatever movie is playing in the rear cabin. the center row is available as a pair of bucket seats or a bench seat that can be positioned on the left or right depending on which door one wants to use for access to the third row. The third row is the usual bench seat for three people. It now comes with small rollers that make it slightly easier to remove. It weighs about 100 pounds, which makes it a two-person job for removal. It is fixed to a track so it can be moved up to seven inches giving more rear luggage space or rear seat legroom depending on ones needs for the day. It can also be fixed in the same attachment points in place of the second row of seats if five seats and lots of cargo space are needed. the seat backs fold down to provide a flat space with tables and more cupholders. Rear climate controls are available as an option as well as radio controls for separate rear use of the cassette while the front is switched to the radio. Kids love the spacious feel throughout the windstar while adults appreciate the generous legroom and headroom, especially in the center two bucket seats. Access to the rearmost seats is not as easy with the second sliding door unless the center seat is moved to one side, which precludes access from that side. overall, the windstar is a convincing family vehicle offering maximum versatility. The addition of the second sliding door actually provides slightly more interior space but loses a storage pocket. driving impressionthe big v6 makes the windstar one of the quickest minivans available, and makes for a satisfying driving experience. It's amazing when one realizes that the acceleration of the windstar with the 3. 8-liter engine is the same as that of a hot sports sedan 16 years ago. Even with a full load of passengers the windstar has enough power to allow for safe passing. (the standard engine is a 3. 8-liter v6, which produces 200 horsepower; the weak 3. 0-liter v6 was dropped for 2001.) at times the transmission shifts a little abruptly. The new transmission, debuting for the 2001 model year, may alleviate this problem. Otherwise the windstar's powertrain performs smoothly, although it can be a little raucous at high revs. Steering is about right with some feedback to let the driver know what's going on. The ride is smooth thanks to the longest wheelbase of any minivan and it is certainly a lot smoother than in any sport-utility vehicle. Likewise the handling, while not as crisp a sedan, is more stable than an suv. the sel model comes with fatter tires (225/60r16) and bigger wheels (16-inch), which helps improve handling and stability substantially. Yet this package adds very little noise or ride harshness. one useful option is the reverse sensing system. A beeper sounds at an increasing pace when backing up toward a solid object such as a wall or a child on a bicycle. It may seem silly at first, but we really like this feature. Rearward visibility is limited and distance is difficult to judge because the back of the vehicle is such a long way from the driver. We find the reverse sensing system of benefit even when parallel parking on tight streets and backing up in crowded parking lots. It's amazing how often people will walk behind or drive up and stop behind a big vehicle when it's backing up. summaryford has continued to add to the windstar's already long list of available safety equipment. Offering traction and stability control, front-passenger side airbags and the aforementioned reverse sensing system, and combining those with a five-star government crash test rating, it's easy to see why the windstar makes for a fantastic family vehicle.

2000 ford windstar review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Ford's minivan gets adjustable pedals. introductionevery year auto companies unveil new features on minivans attempting to one-up the competition. When chrysler came out with a sliding side door on the driver's side it caught everyone by surprise, including ford, which had to make do with an enlarged driver's door until last year when the newest version of the windstar finally got a second sliding door. this year it's ford's turn to be first: the windstar is the first minivan to feature power-adjustable pedals. Short and tall drivers should be able to adjust the seats and pedals for the safest, most comfortable driving position. a neat entertainment center is also available as an option (though oldsmobile was the first with that one last year). In the area of safety though, windstar still rates at the top of government crash tests with a five-star rating. lineupthe base windstar wagon comes with a 3. 0-liter v6 engine and includes anti-lock brakes (abs), air conditioning and dual airbags. With seating for seven, it starts at $21,315. The second sliding door is now available as an option 500) on the base model. The 3. 8-liter v6 is available for $685. windstar lx model starts at $23,965. Windstar se retails for $27,615. The $30,610 sel and $33,360 limited comprise the top of the line. (a windstar van without carpeting and passenger seats is also available for $19,815.). walkaroundthe 2000 windstar's overall appearance has not changed much since it was first introduced in 1995, but it still looks contemporary. Windstar appears a little over-bodied. When bigger fender flares were added the track was not increased so the wheels do not fill them as well as before -- even with the bigger tires on the sel. The sel boasts a chrome-plated grille that gives it a more luxurious look. ford and mazda have adopted chrysler's design for sliding doors by neatly hiding the runners along the lower edge of the rear side window instead of being gouged out of the body side panel. This gives the windstar a less utilitarian, more upscale look. The second sliding door is an option on the lx windstar, but comes standard on the se and sel models. It's also nice for those who find opening and closing the doors a bit strenuous. The one shortcoming is that they move more slowly than manually operated doors which can be closed in literally no time at all. It takes a few seconds for the electric motor to close the doors. Kids love the power doors. A safety feature automatically stops the doors from closing if any object, such as a child's leg, is encountered as they close. the windstar is available in one length. It is among the largest of the minivans, and is directly comparable to the dodge grand caravan, the chrysler town & country, and the honda odyssey. Windstar's total interior volume with seats removed is nearly identical to these big minivans. interiorstarting at the front, the windstar has a nicely designed and substantial dashboard that wraps around the driver. This positions the radio and climate controls within easy reach. Two cupholders are attached to a tray that slides out; spring-loaded sides allow them to accommodate a variety of drinking containers. a convenient overhead console provides storage for sunglasses, coins and a remote garage-door opener. A wide-angle mirror can be used to keep an eye on what's going on in the rear seats. Another unique option is a small voice recorder attached to the sun visor above the driver. It can be used to quickly record notes and other ideas that might come to mind while driving. ford borrowed the adjustable pedals from its big expedition sport-utility vehicle and they are just as useful in the windstar. At the touch of a button, a driver with short legs can move the pedals nearer to the seat. This allows the driver to sit farther from the steering wheel, which not only improves control but also lessens the potential for injury from the airbag going off in an accident. the sel we tested came with a center console on the floor between the two front seats. In many ways this is inconvenient as it makes it difficult for adults to walk back to the rear of the vehicle. Fortunately it is optional on all models. new for 2000 is an entertainment center, which fits between the front seats and features a pop-up lcd tv screen, vhs tape player and ports for video games. This $1295 option could prove a godsend for long trips with the kids. It includes a pair of headphones so the driver and front-seat passenger do not have to listen to whatever movie is playing in the rear cabin. the center row is available as a pair of bucket seats or a bench seat that can be positioned on the left or right depending on which door one wants to use for access to the third row. The third row is the usual bench seat for three people. It now comes with small rollers that make it slightly easier to remove. It still weighs in at about 100 pounds, which makes it a two-person job for removal. It is fixed to a track so it can be moved up to seven inches giving more rear luggage space or rear seat legroom depending on ones needs for the day. It can also be fixed in the same attachment points in place of the second row of seats if five seats and lots of cargo space are needed. needless to say, the seat backs fold down to provide a flat space with tables and more cupholders. Rear climate controls are available as an option as well as radio controls for separate rear use of the cassette while the front is switched to the radio. Kids will love the spacious feel throughout the windstar while adults will appreciate the generous leg- and headroom, especially in the center two bucket seats. Access to the rearmost seats is not as easy with the second sliding door unless the center seat is moved to one side, which precludes access from that side. overall, the windstar is the ultimate family vehicle offering maximum versatility. The addition of the second sliding door actually provides slightly more interior space but loses a storage pocket. driving impressionford sells very few windstars with the base 3. 0-liter engine. It's amazing when one realizes that the acceleration of the windstar with the 3. 8-liter engine is the same as that of a hot sports sedan 15 years ago. Even with a full load of passengers the windstar has enough power to allow for safe passing. at times the transmission shifts a little abruptly but otherwise the windstar's power train performs smoothly. It is a little raucous at high revs, however. Steering is about right with some feedback for those who want to know what's going on. The ride is smooth thanks to the longest wheelbase of any minivan and it is certainly a lot smoother than in any sport-utility vehicle. Likewise the handling, while not as crisp a sedan, is more stable than an suv. the sel model comes with fatter tires (225/60r16) and bigger wheels (16-inch), which helps improve handling and stability substantially. Yet this package adds very little noise or ride harshness. one unique option offered for the first time on a minivan is the reverse sensing system. A beeper sounds at an increasing pace when backing up toward a solid object such as a wall or a child on a bicycle. This beeper might make drivers feel like they are driving a big rig but it is a useful option in a vehicle of this size. Rearward visibility is limited and distance is difficult to judge because the back of the vehicle is such a long way from the driver. We find the reverse sensing system of benefit even when parallel parking on tight streets. summaryford has continued to improve the windstar, although there was not a lot wrong with the previous model except for the lack of a second sliding door. While adding the second door ford has taken the opportunity to improve the vehicle in several areas especially safety and even emissions. For example, side airbags are available as an option for the first time. those who purchase the top-of-the-line model and add optional features such as side airbags and the reverse warning system can end up with one of the most versatile and safest vehicles on the road.

1998 ford windstar review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Powerful, stylish and safety-conscious. introductionin the ever-competitive minivan market, the little differences can make a company's year, or make it miserable. The bigger differences, like the number of doors, can be even more significant. Ford's official name is the family entry system. Ford insiders call it the more door. Besides the larger front door, the most noticeable change is in the front. Slightly raised in the center, it comes forward into a more squarely shaped front end, lending a slightly stronger appearance. overall the look is quite stylish, and it disguises the windstar's substantial size. The shape still slides smoothly over the sloped windshield, so that only the barest wind noise comes from the large outside mirrors. it's easy to get kids and cargo in and out the passenger doors. In the rear the cargo door is huge, but a door-style handle makes it easy to open and lift. And even though there's lots of walk-under room beneath the hatch, an easy-to-grasp strap helps to haul it down. then there's that big new family door, which has been extended six inches. The back seat can be reached by tipping and sliding the driver's seat forward. (the door is standard on all '98 windstars, but the tip-slide seat is extra on the less-expensive models, and the door is just a big door without it.) we found a few problems here. Though it's designed to extend only two inches more than previous door, it's enough to be bothersome in a crowded parking lot. Ford points out that most mid-size coupes have doors that are even wider. But they're not nearly as tall, or as high off the ground. a package can be easily put in the back by just tipping the seat and not sliding it forward. It's easier just to use the sliding door. interiorinside is where the windstar shines. It's roomy and comfortable, with plenty of access to the middle and rear seat rows. The uniquely stylish dashboard curves around the driver, so smaller drivers don't have to stretch and lunge for the controls. the instruments are classic white-on-black analog, with a tachometer on the left, a big speedometer in the middle, and small temperature and fuel gauges on the right, plus the usual array of warning lights. Headlights are controlled by a rotary switch on the left side of the dash. Wiper controls are on a stalk on the left of the steering wheel column. They really couldn't be simpler or more convenient. the same can't be said for the am/fm/cassette player just above those dials. It's all buttons, and many of the buttons are pretty small. Even adjusting the volume requires the driver to look away from the road. cupholders, which pop out under the heater, are now adjustable, so they can hold even the fattest coffee mug. There are tons of cup holders for back seat passengers that can hold a can or a juice box, and large storage bins in both the middle and rear seat rows. the seatbelts are height-adjustable in both front and rear. a useful new feature is the optional overhead console. It includes a change holder, a little home for those ever-elusive sunglasses, and a holder for a garage remote control. Push it all the way back for maximum leg room. Push it seven inches forward to create more cargo room. Do that and 4x8 sheets of plywood will fit flat on the floor. ford put a power lock switch on the side of the cargo hold, just inside the rear hatch. A 3. 0-liter v6, standard in gl models, generates 150 hp, pretty typical for a minivan engine. A 3. 8-liter v6 that's optional on the gl and standard on lx and limited models creates 200 hp, tops in any minivan. Dual airbags, 5 mph bumpers and abs are standard on all models. There's a child-proof lock on the sliding door and head restraints have been added to the second and third row seats.
