welp, my lease came up on my green freestyle, so I got another one from an auction in San Jose CA.
Flew down and drove it back last week. We really like the Freestyle Limited we had. Ford just wanted too much so I got
another one at auction, and saved a bunch of cash. this one is a nicer color IMO, and we now have DVD and a sun roof.
I had to buy new tires, service it, and have to get the rear bumper repainted. but all in all I did really well. :) :) :)

Here's some pix.

Thanks everyone. We like it, and the interior is what's really nice about this car.
me at 6'5" fits with room in the front or second row, all the seats fold down flat, and it drives really nice.
It's built on a Volvo Chassis, saftey everything, backup, dual heat, ect. It's really comfortable and usable.
I like the new color better!

AND, I'm going to need the extra row, my wife's expecting, and already got 2 cute kids.

Thanks Trey, Ya know I almost bought black wheels with a poolished lip for this when I got the new tires.
Black would go good with it.

prices prices? lol


not my first choice, but it's looks good I love the color. The only suv's I've liked so far are the 2001 bodystyle of the durango(idk how lon they made them) and chevy tahoe. explorer are pretty nice too.

How's the MPG on those things? I've heard you can get somewhere near 600 miles per tank.

Nice SUV! How do you like the CVT? That was the biggest reason we stayed away from the Freestyle when it came out. Love everything else about it though - layout, how it drives etc... For my company car, I came very close upgrading to the Taurus X this time around, but decided to stick with the sedan version ('08 Taurus limited) as the SEL Taurus X they were offering didn't have the features that the Taurus has i.e. Ford sync, leather, no rear heat etc...

Good luck with it and congrats on the upcoming baby!

Thank you!

I like the CVT, it hasn't had any issues, we've had no problems with the car at all.
I think it's Lame for changed the name, but it's pretty much the same thing with a little bigger V6.

I enjoy driving it, it feels really good on the road.
