The 2005 Ford Freestyle for buyers
No 2005 Ford Freestyle is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2005 Ford Freestyle for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the Freestyle
Owners filed 1,459 complaints with NHTSA, most often about vehicle speed control, power train and electrical system; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
The figures, translated
It is powered by the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated at 11.8 L/100 km combined, so budget about 35 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $54.87 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the Freestyle
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
The Freestyle in everyday use
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the Freestyle for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2005 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $182.90 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.29 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
