1996 Ford Windstar GL 3.8 from North America
Summary:
A competent family member
Faults:
Speedometer stopped registering at about 110,000.
General Comments:
My Windstar has been a very competent, comfortable and solid performer.
The engine is responsive and powerful.
The brakes are excellent.
The ride comfort is reassuring.
It's almost seven years old and we've not experienced any significant problems.
Only after 100,000 miles is it really showing its age. My Windstar has performed way past my expectations.
But, I will say that the local dealership has been totally inept at resolving simple problems over the years.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Had there ever been a leak in the right side brake pipe? Just this week the car started smoking under the hood when I pressed the brake pedal with an acrid smoke that singed my nose hairs.
