Overall, I think this has been a great car for me. I really like how much space it has, which is useful in many situations. The space allows up to seven people to fit in the car, but the seats can also fold down so that a good deal of cargo can fit as well. The fuel economy of the Ford Freestyle is average at best but also not terrible, considering its size. The car is from 2006, so the technology has fallen behind quite considerably but, again, remains completely functional and useful.
Story
I remember how fun it was to drive down to Florida and Disney World for a week or so.
Pros
The best part of my experience with the car is how reliable it has been over the past decade that it has been in my family. It has over 150,000 miles on it and still runs incredibly well. There also hasn't been a great deal of mechanical work needed to keep it in its current condition. I also think that the size of its interior is another very strong plus for this car, especially since it was definitely marketed towards families.
Cons
My biggest complaint with the car is the fuel economy and the appearance of its exterior. It gets somewhere between 15 and 20 miles per gallon, which wasn't terrible at the time of purchase, but with the increasing prevalence of hybrid and electric cars, it has certainly fallen off relatively speaking. The outside appearance of the car also isn't the greatest, but it gets the job done.

I really liked how reliable this car was for me throughout all of the years. I have had it for around three years at this point, and it is running just as good as when I bought it. It hasn't nickel and dimed me like I expected it to. There are over 150,000 miles on it which is considerable, but it still works for me everyday that I need it.
Story
I really enjoyed driving down to Disney World in this car. It was a fun vacation, so I will always remember it favorably.
Pros
I liked the overall reliability that the Ford Freestyle offered. I also really liked the total space it had. There is a very large amount of space available for extra passengers or for a lot of extra cargo. It is very useful for me, as I am frequently asked to move furniture and other large items for friends that have considerably smaller cars. This is one of the main advantages of this car.
Cons
The worst parts of this car are the gas mileage and the exterior appearance. The car gets roughly 20 miles per gallon which was alright in 2006, but now it is not very great. Additionally, the exterior of the car isn't necessarily the prettiest sight. It is not an exceptionally ugly car, but it doesn't look super nice on the outside. It looks like a standard SUV which is not entirely my style.
