Ford Creates An Eminently Practical Crossover SUV... Atonement For The Excursion, Perhaps?

Pros: Smooth, pleasant handling, refined CVT powertrain, stunning interior versatility, residual Volvo solidity and comfort.

Bottom Line:
The Freestyle is the most balanced blend of car and SUV I've ever experienced. It's not a driver's car, but it's roomy, honest, efficient, and very appealing. Read More at Epinions.com

It's a great new product from Ford. With the Escape's engine and Audi components in the transmission, it's not entirely unproven. Standard doo-dads, comfort, size, looks, capacity, mileage are pluses. Read More at Epinions.com
