More than a  station wagon, but not quite a sport utility, the Freestyle is a successful  example of a crossover. The Freestyle combines space-conscious and  people-friendly packaging with a modern powertrain that delivers performance and  efficiency. Three rows of seats yield six-passenger, or even seven-passenger capacity. Its  3.0-liter V6 delivers good performance, while its continuously variable  transmission eases engine load and smoothes the drive. All-wheel drive is  available for owners who want all-weather capability. The other models use  front-wheel drive. Critics have said that the Freestyle is simply the station wagon version of the  new Ford Five Hundred sedan. Technically, they're right. Yet many have found the  Freestyle inexplicably offers a better driving experience than the Five Hundred,  and it's certainly more practical. The Freestyle is well worth a look for shoppers tired of the everyday vehicle,  yet also tired of climbing up into and jumping down out of today's SUVs, and  willing to explore something new and slightly different. The Freestyle was launched as a 2005 model so there are relatively few changes  for '06. An optional navigation system is now available for the Limited model. Lineup The 2006 Ford Freestyle comes in three trim levels, SE, SEL and Limited. Each is  available with all-wheel drive. All have the same 3.0-liter V6 engine rated at  203 horsepower. All are equipped with a continuously variable transmission, or  CVT. The SE ($25,105) and SE AWD ($26,955) come with features not normally expected  in a base model. These include a six-way power driver's seat, cruise control,  tilt steering wheel, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and traction control, all  on top of the usual air conditioning; power windows, outside mirrors and central  locking; and AM/FM/CD stereo. SE options include: a Safety and Security package with front seat side airbags  and full-coverage side air curtains plus anti-theft alarm and exterior  convenience lighting ($795); a Convenience package with automatic headlamps and  dual-zone automatic climate control with outside temperature display ($295); an  auxiliary rear-seat climate control ($650); a middle-seat floor console ($95);  and no-charge substitution of a three-passenger middle bench seat in place of  the standard bucket seats that seat two. The SEL ($26,505) and SEL AWD ($28,355) includes a six-disc in-dash CD changer  with MP3 capability; auto headlamps; heated and folding outside mirrors;  electrochromic rearview mirror; leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel  with audio controls; programmable, three-frequency remote garage door opener;  the exterior convenience lighting; extra sound insulation; fog lamps; and sundry  exterior trim enhancements, including bright aluminum wheels in lieu of the SE's  painted wheels. Options for the SEL: leather seating ($895); a Comfort package with eight-way  driver and four-way passenger power seats and dual-zone automatic climate  control and outside temperature display ($495); a DVD-based entertainment  system, including two wireless headphones and wireless remote ($995); power  moonroof ($895); reverse sensing system ($295); and a split-fold third row seat  ($115). Some of the SE options are available, including the Safety and Security  package ($695). The Limited ($28,530) and Limited AWD ($30,580) add an upgraded sound system  with subwoofer, memory settings for driver's seat and outside mirrors, heated  front seats, two-way adjustable second row seats, woodgrain dash trim, cargo net  and, on the AWD model, 18-inch bright aluminum wheels. Options other than those available on the SE and SEL are a programmable,  three-frequency remote opener system ($115) and adjustable pedals with memory  ($195). Walkaround The Ford Freestyle is built on the same platform as the Ford Five Hundred sedan  and share much of the same hardware. Both were launched as all-new models for  2005. Styling cues make the Freestyle look more like a Ford Escape, however. From all  angles, the styling suggests a sport utility: the upright front end, the tall  side glass, the hefty C-pillar, the fender blisters, the rear liftgate, and the  big rear bumper cover. The Freestyle's similarities to the Five Hundred become more apparent when the  two are parked together. The Freestyle is just an inch shorter in overall length  than the Five Hundred and the wheelbase, the distance between the front and rear  wheels, is identical. Only in height is there a marked difference. The Freestyle  is eight inches taller, at 68.3 inches, than the Five Hundred, part of which is  a result of the Freestyle's added ground clearance. The Freestyle has eight  inches of ground clearance versus five inches for the Five Hundred. The Freestyle may not offer the space of a minivan, but it offers more space  than a compact SUV. It falls between the two in terms of size. The Freestyle is  two feet longer than a Ford Escape, and has a 10-inch longer wheelbase. And the  Escape is only about an inch taller. The Freestyle is seven inches longer than  the popular Ford Explorer, though its wheelbase is about the same. The Explorer  is taller by four inches, which helps explain why the Freestyle's seating  position is 5.5 inches lower than the Explorer's seating position. Interior The Ford Freestyle offers lots of cargo space and seats up to six passengers,  seven if the second-row bench seat is ordered. Fitting three rows of seats in a  vehicle this size required some compromises, of course, but the good outweighs  the bad. The front seats are decently bolstered, with adequate thigh support. However,  the lower back and rear bottom portions didn't offer enough support on a drive  from Milwaukee along primarily rural roads down the western shore of Lake  Michigan to Chicago. The Freestyle offers roomy accommodations for passengers in the second row,  especially with the available twin bucket seats in the second row. The  second-row seats tend more toward utilitarian than coddling, with flat seat  bottoms and backs. With the second-row bench alternative, the center seat bottom  and back cushions are above grade, but there's even less lateral support than  what's provided by the bucket seats. Ford says the third-row seat was designed to comfortably accommodate a 6-foot,  1-inch male. Indeed, headroom back there is commendable, thanks to a roofline  that's several inches higher over the rear seats than at the windshield, a  styling feat deftly masked by the angular C-pillar and roof rack. But tall  third-row passengers will find their legs quite a bit more articulated and their  knees closer to their chests than elsewhere in the Freestyle's cabin. The Freestyle offers great versatility with split-folding third-row seats, an  available 60/40 second-row bench seat and a fold-flat front passenger  seatback. That fold-flat front passenger seat allows hauling objects up to 10  feet long, like a surf board or a ladder, depending on the weekend's activities,  while hauling passengers on the left side. Freestyle offers lots of cargo space. Fold the seats down and the Freestyle  offers 85.2 cubic feet of cargo room, more than a Grand Cherokee (67.4) or a  six-passenger Pacifica (79.5), though a five-passenger Pacifica offers slightly  more space (92.7). Caesar the 170-pound mastiff discovered he had more headroom  in the Freestyle than he had in a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and getting in and out  was easier. Storage is plentiful, including as many as a dozen cup holders, map pockets on  all four doors and rear quarter panels, magazine pouches on the back side of the  front seatbacks, the usual center console and a modest glove box. There's a deep  well behind the third row of seats, which the seats occupy when collapsed. And  there's a sunglasses holder incorporated into the overhead console. That  overhead unit also houses the conversation mirror, a.k.a. the kid spy glass,  although this combo feature gets displaced by the optional moonroof. Second- and  third-row seats get reading lights. The dash design is quiet and uncluttered, assembled from few bits and pieces,  promising minimal squeaks and rattles as the Freestyle ages. Framed by the  steering wheel are large, round, easy-to-scan, white-on-black (the Limited gets  black-on-white) tachometer and speedometer, between which are the fuel and  engine water temperature gauges and, on the SEL and Limited, a digital  information display, all beneath a hood shading them from midday glare. At the  far ends of the dash are two round air conditioning registers, identical to two  atop the center stack. Although all four vents look as if they rotate in their  receptacles, they don't, adjusting only side-to-side and up-and-down, and only  the two outboard registers close completely. To the left of the steering column  are the headlight and dash light controls, and when ordered the rocker switch  for the adjustable pedals. The high-beam, turn indicator and  windshield/backlight wiper/washer levers sprout from the left and right side of  the column, respectively. At finger-tip level in the center stack is the stereo control head, for the most  part ergonomic, except for the tuning function, which requires either enduring  an interminable scan/seek process or depres. Driving Impression Driving a car with a continuously variable transmission, or CVT, takes some  getting used to. There are no shifts, no gear changes, up or down. Instead, the  driver steps on the gas, the engine speeds up, and a moment later the car begins  to move. The engine then maintains about the same, seemingly elevated rpm while  the car accelerates to the desired speed, at which point the driver eases off  the gas to let the engine slow to where the car keeps moving at that speed. Of  course, as elevations change and traffic ebbs and flows, the car's speed  changes, as does the engine's, but not always to the same degree, and definitely  not as expected with a traditional automatic transmission. All of this is exactly as planned. The goal of a CVT is to allow the engine to  spend as much of its operating time as possible in a rev range that maintains  optimum fuel efficiency and generates minimum emissions. The Freestyle certainly  delivers in terms of usable power and fuel economy. In fuel economy, the Freestyle rates an EPA-estimated 20/27 City/Highway mpg  with front-wheel drive, 19/24 mpg with all-wheel drive. By comparison, a  front-drive Pacifica gets 17/23 mpg with its 250-horsepower 3.5-liter V6. Stand on the throttle and you may experience some torque steer in the Freestyle,  a slight, side-to-side tugging of the steering wheel. This occurs not only in  the front-wheel-drive Freestyle, which is not uncommon, but also in the  all-wheel-drive variation, which is a little disappointing. Passing is more  relaxed with a CVT, as there's no immediate kickdown to a lower, more aggressive  gear. The Freestyle does a reasonably good job of keeping noise out of the cabin. At  steady-state cruise, powertrain sounds fade to a whisper, but pavement slap from  the tires is clearly audible and some wind noise leaks in around the side  windows at freeway speeds. Commendably, the Freestyle's wide stance gives it reassuring stability around  high speed curves and on winding roads. And there's little of the body lean and  occupant head toss associated with SUVs. There's a noticeable susceptibility to  cross winds, however, which is no surprise given the Freestyle's uprightness. Ride and handling are reasonably good. The steering returns good on-center feel  and turn-in is responsive. Braking is solid, although not entirely linear. Summary The Ford Freestyle offers many of the advantages of a sport-utility, with lots  of cargo room and a roomy cabin capable of seating six or seven  passengers. Getting in and out is easier than it is with an SUV, yet the  Freestyle's elevated position gives the driver a good view of the road  ahead. And because it's based on a car, the Freestyle rides smoother and handles  better than an SUV, and gets better fuel economy. Priced to SELL NO RESERVE....
