 Purchased this car from a auction 6 months ago.The freestyle has a smooth ride but not kid friendly at all.Easy to get dirty.I've had transmission problems since.I took it to a transmission mechanic and he said he just replaced one 6 months earlier and the lowest transmission he found was 3k used, a new one is 6k. I've emailed Ford because I am driving a Ford and not a Lexus.If I could afford a transmission that cost 3 or 6k I would've bought a Lexus.I've emailed Ford and Dan responded that he's glad I purchased the freestyle, sorry for my problems and good luck.So they are not standing behind their junk....I'm stuck with a piece of JUNK.Please don't buy this car.
