Pros: 2001 Ford Windstar Minivan was easy to drive, very roomy and loaded with many features
Cons: Rear door of van was hard to open
The Bottom Line: We really enjoyed driving this van. It had cruise control, seats were high enough for good vision and very roomy and comfortable.
Last week my husband Randy and I decided to take a trip to Cincinnati to watch the Atlanta Braves play the Reds for our anniversary celebration. When we travel, we always prefer to rent a compact car and usually use Avis Rental. We had reserved a compact...

Hi! This is Ron Ravetti the internet manager at Big Valley Ford. I have read your synopsis. It sure appears you have done quite a bit of research on the supercrew. True, it is quite a unique vehicle. However, as to Saturn's new SUV coming out I remain...

Pros: 1st minivan to earn the U. S. government's five star front crash test rating.
Cons: Poor ergonomics and dashboard layout.
The Bottom Line: It would be ideal if Ford could match safety and customer satisfaction.

Pros: comfortable ride with full features
Cons: limited colors and ride can be uneasy
The Bottom Line: The Windstar LX 4 door minivan is a safe and comfortable family car with full features.
We purchased the Ford 2001 Windstar LX 4 door Minivan in March of this year. Our son was born in August of last year and my sporty little Nissan and my husband's small pickup truck weren't exactly family style vehicles. We decided on the Windstar...

Pros: Reliable, versatile, good milage, plenty of cargo space.
Cons: Heavy seats, tire lamp, minor convenince issues.
The Bottom Line: An excellent all-around vehicle that should be in everyone's driveway. Easy handling, reliable, versatile, and good gas milage.
I purchased this van used at a Ford dealership in my area about two years ago, so I feel I have had sufficient time to evaluate it. I purchased this in August of 2004. Only my mother and I drive this van, and we generally use it for cargo, so I can't ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handles pretty well, decent gas mileage, plenty of room, cruises nicely
Cons: Uncomfortable seats for sleeping, slightly clumsy turns, generally a little bulky
The Bottom Line: Easy to drive and handle, cruises nicely, lots of room, but almost impossible to sleep comfortably in. Recommended as long as you don't need to nap.
Due to a combination of circumstances with which I will not bore my busy audience, it was recently necessary that I make a trip from Boston, MA to Atlanta, GA and back, a journey of some 1000-odd miles each way. Due to the amount of luggage that needed...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: powerful engine, amenities, better seats than 95-98 models
Cons: soft ride, marginal handling, refinement (lack of)
The Bottom Line: The Windstar is a solid choice for those who want a decent van with good power and a reasonably large number of amenities at a good price
In search of minivans, we were looking for good performance, decent gas mileage, good reliability and good utility. With the '01 Windstar, we found most of that, but in comparison to the Honda Odyssey and the Toyota Sienna, this somewhat antiquated...

We recently purchased a 2001 Windstar SE. I was one of those minivan hater's in the past. I was never, never, NEVER, going to get a minivan. Well, I've completely changed my mind. The past year I've been dreaming of owning one of these babies! We...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: If the vehicle was so bad, it would have been taken off the road, right?
Cons: I really think the sliding door feature is going to fail.
The Bottom Line: Although Ford is a well known Company, occasionally even they have problems when releasing a new vehicle.
Apparently the automatic closing sliding door feature is in earlier Windstars as well, but I'm sure we would have heard about more injuries if they were made so improperly.
The Windstar 2001.
I went to visit my fiance at...

Pros: Smooth Ride, Power, Features
Cons: Annoying Problems
The Bottom Line: If you can live with some minor annoyances and small repairs, the features make this van worth a look.
We were having problems with our 1995 Pontiac Transport and were looking to buy a newer used minivan. We did some research an determined the Ford Windstar was met our needs the best and was priced right. We bought a 2001 Windstar with 31K miles in ...

Pros: Comfort, Two temperature controls, Power everything, Bright red~the bad drivers can see us coming!
Cons: Now neighborhood kids only want to ride with me!
The Bottom Line: We are really enjoying our new purchase. Our female friends and their children are want one too! The men are afraid of testosterone leakage!
Since our family has multiplied from 2 to 3, we knew it was time to drive a car that could carry all of our stuff! So out we went test driving everything under the sun until we came across a bright red Ford Windstar 2001 minivan. I do mean Bright RED!...

Pros: Best fit for drivers of different heights. Much safer than other american minivans.
Cons: Crash tests still not comparable with honda and toyota. Engine a little noisy.
The Bottom Line: The ultimate safe vehicle for short family drivers, or drivers of varying height.
It took a while to convince my wife to test-drive a minivan, because she it accustomed to small vehicles (having owned a cavalier and then a corsica for a while). We first test drove a chevy, since we are comfortable with them. During the test drive, I...

Pros: Strong motor, great safety, good layout, quality interior.
Cons: Not as flashy as Chrysler or GM products, gas milage could be better.
The Bottom Line: A roomy, sporty, safe, well appointed minivan with the best safety of the big 3.
We had a 2000 Ford Taurus SE for about a year, but a long road trip with our 3 children taught us that we needed more room. A quick search on the internet led us to the Ford Dealer for a 2001 SE Sport.
I chose the sport for it's sharper...

Pros: Earned the U. S. government's 5 star front crash test rating.
Cons: Gas Guzzler, Electronics Sloppy, Auto Mirrors, Seats, Day Running Lights Don't Work.
The Bottom Line: Ford is in no hurry to stand behind their product. Many visits constant hassle-avoid FORD.
Leased a 2001 Ford Windstar LX, maintenance package, daytime running lights (safety package), etc. We really want to like this vehicle but the number of irritations makes it impossible. Soem are the quality of the vehicle some are dealer together they...

Pros: Roomy, solid build, plenty of power
Cons: Rear door hard to open
The Bottom Line: I would not hesitate to try this one out.
We needed a minivan for our family. Tried out the 2001 model with no extras-base model. It has plenty of power and I know what I'm talking about. I have some high-powered vehicles and hate limp-wristed rides. Easy to get in and out of. Durable materials,...
