Autonet.ca - Ford's newest minivan 'star' is Canadian-made: Autumn ...
Autumn in Canada brings lots of changes: the weather gets colder, the leaves change colour, and the kids go back to school, often piled into Mom and Dad's minivan. So it makes sense for Ford to introduce its newest minivan in fall. Safety features in the Freestar will include a "segment-exclusive" Safety Canopy side curtain air bag system, which protects passengers in all three rows of seating in the event of a side-impact collision. Convenience and space will feature as prominent themes in the new Freestar, with three rows of seating for passengers. The third row can fold flat into the floor without having to remove the head restraints, Ford said, providing room for large cargo items.

2004 Ford Freestar - The Car Connection
Faced with more competition in the minivan segment, Ford has opted to give the Windstar a new name and a partial redesign. As with the outgoing Windstar, the Freestar's emphasis is on safety features, but the new minivan places greater emphasis on refinement, plus some new, clever packaging tricks that up the ante for the competition. Good packaging is highly important in a minivan, and it's a key selling point for the Freestar, which truly excels versus the competition. Foremost, the packaging of the third-row seats is greatly improved. One might say that Ford simply studied the Odyssey's third-row packaging and made it better. The third-row bench folds flat into a recessed area in the floor without much force and there's no need to remove the headrests. The Freestar has a plethora of drink holders, cubbyholes, and map pockets, as any good minivan should. The front doors are now good for holding a 20-ounce soda bottle, while the cupholders in the center console are good for large fountain drinks. Furthermore, the kid-proof cupholders on the sides of the second-row captain's chairs are designed to break free, rather than break, when stepped on.

While the Freestar is nicely done inside, a more tonal interior and more amenities make the Monterey feel more upscale, with front and rear parking assist, available cooled seats, three zones of temperature control, leather trim and memory-adjustable pedals. Inside, the redesign gives both vehicles more storage nooks and indoor room crannies for those huge, 20-ounce beverages, plus a nifty covered hiding place bin atop the instrument panel. Third row seats stow flat in the floor for expanded storage space, or flop over into rear facing seats for tailgating parties. Push-down headrests make the transition a breeze. Despite list prices from the high $20,000 to mid $30,000 range, both Freestar and Monterey models enjoyed some financing incentives following launch. And like other automakers adopting unique naming systems, (GM's growing use of alphanumeric signatures, for example), Ford continues its penchant for using the "F" words for essentially car-based products.

GIZMOLOGY: In an era of mesmerizing electronics, the controls on both the Monterey and the Freestar seem rather unimaginative. The small buttons for the radio and climate system are hard to identify and locate, and Ford didn't even bother with the kind of centralized display screen that's becoming standard on many mid-range cars and most upscale ones. Engineers did pay attention to the folding seats, however. The second row captain's chairs easily pop forward with a single maneuver, for access to the third row. Minivans are not supposed to be race cars, of course, and many buyers will probably be quite satisfied with the new Monterey and its structurally identical Freestar twin. Compared with the earlier Monterey and the Windstar, which the Freestar replaces (Ford, for unexplained reasons, is renaming all of the cars in its lineup that don't already start with 'F'), the new model represents a pleasant evolution. The engine is better-mannered than its predecessor, which had a notable trucklike drawl. There is functionality galore, with copious cupholders and cavernlike storage and the Ford-original "conversation" mirror for looking at the kids in the backseat from the driver's perch. Many parents won't care-but some will, and they are the ones who will generate the buzz that tweaks sales beyond what predictable marketing will produce. The blandness carries through to the interior, which is utilitarian, even in the supposedly upscale Monterey. Dashboard controls, for instance, are lodged in a dated and indistinct central console with too many small buttons and no digital display. And the power window buttons are the same ones Ford was using on economy cars five years ago. Handling is a step behind too.
