2002 Ford Windstar Review
A van outstanding in its field.
2002 Windstar Review Summary & Specifications
Ford has continued to add to the Windstar's already long list of available safety equipment. All models share a five-star crash test rating. Add to that traction and stability control, front-passenger side-impact airbags and the reverse sensing system, and it's easy to see why the Windstar is such a desirable family vehicle. Windstar is safe and roomy, features a versatile seating arrangement, and offers a rear-seat entertainment system. If you've got kids, this minivan should be on your list.In fact, it's almost too good for the kids. A luxuriously appointed Windstar Limited would be equally appropriate for taking four to six adults on a long journey or downtown to the opera.
