Another thing about the Ford Freestyle compared to a Grand Caravan is that the Freestyle does better in crash tests at http://www.iihs.org and also http://www.nhtsa.gov . The handling and steering is generally considered to be better in the Freestyle as well.

My '05 Freestyle FWD is nearing 70,000 miles. I too had the rear brakes replaced for free and I'm still on the original front brakes. The only problem I've had was a transmission control module replaced under warranty. I think it's a great car. We just drove round trip to Chicago and got 25 MPG, but that included Chicago city driving as well as about 300 miles of highway. It's really not much smaller than a Caravan (same length, just a little less wide), so it's not much of a downsize.
