Replying to: jigmaster (Nov 05, 2007 10:33 am) Overall driving experience with our Pacifica rental was pleasant. Yes, we liked the Taurus X more, but we also paid more. Your decision should depend on how you're going to use and drive the car, and how much you're willing to pay. If the Pacifica meets your requirements and is cheaper than the Taurus X, then it's a reasonable decision not to spend the additional money if you don't want to. And people seem to be pretty happy with their '07 Pacificas.. 9.2 average rating on Edmunds. You make it sound like the car is junk or something. Oh, and another thing.. the '07 Pacifica with the stronger engine (i.e. not the base model) does 0-60 in 7.4 seconds. That's much quicker than the Freestyle.

Replying to: francishsu (Nov 05, 2007 3:10 pm) I am just confused how you getting such a low mileage? I was getting about 24MPG in summer and even now when it is below O Celsius most of the time here I am still getting anywhere from 21.5 to 22.8mpg.

Replying to: makenasdad (Nov 07, 2007 11:36 am) After nearly 60,000 miles on my '05 Freestyle, I'm averaging about 22mpg, with about 20mpg around town, mid 20s at fast highway speeds and close to 30mpg if I keep the speed at or just under 65mph.

| I traded our 05 Freestyle for an 08 Taurus X. I looked at the CX9, Edge and MKX but after all was said and done we decided to stay with the comfort, practicality and value offered by the Taurus X over the others. The improvements made in 08 are well worth it. Although I always liked the CVT, the performance of the 3.5/6 speed auto is significantly better than the Freestyle. This time around we got the rear sensor, electronic lift gate and moon roof which we didn't have in the Freestyle. Although the interiors look similar, they have darken the dash to prevent the glare we had in the 05 and they have upgraded the look of the dash with metal trim around some of the dials in the Limited. The wood appeareance package also adds a little class to the look. We'll see if Sirius radio will be worth extending the six month subscription. All in all we are very happy with our choice. | |

Replying to: barnstormer64 (Nov 07, 2007 6:00 pm) Have never driven a Pacifica. Some days I like the way it looks, other days I don't. I've been driving a PT Cruiser while my Taurus X is getting some cosmetic work done. Definitely don't like the way it looks, but a very nice little car otherwise. |

Any one know if they make a turtle top for the freestyle 2005? I would like to put that on top.. I would think it would be cheaper then adding a hitch then renting a trailer. THanks Jc |
