2005 Ford Freestyle SEL AWD 3.0 6 cylinder CVT from North America
Summary:
Great vehicle, and very happy with it!
Faults:
Center seatbelt locked up and needed to be replaced.
A light bulb went out on the temperature gauge.
Replaced original tires and brakes just recently, but that's it so far.
General Comments:
We got this for a great price after much research and patience on finding the right one, so for a 7 passenger AWD SUV under $10k, I am very happy with my purchase.
It took a couple days to get used to the CVT transmission, but I find it very quick and responsive when I need it to be. I think the Freestyle is a great, and I am always recommending it to anyone looking for a new car!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

This is a follow up of the review:
Just had a service at 82000 km and the front seal needed to be changed again, and at the same time they discovered a leak from the water pump. They changed both under the powertrain warranty, but it's nothing to make me feel any more secure about the future with this vehicle.
