Ford Windstar Overview

If you think of minivans as faceless vehicles with fairly interchangeable personalities, then you need to think again. Ford's Windstar is a minivan with a difference, Minivanius maximus, a van outstanding in its field.

Windstar comes standard with a strong, 200-horsepower V6 and room for seven. It offers options aplenty to satisfy any taste. Like most modern minivans, the Windstar offers power sliding rear doors. However, Windstar is the only minivan with available power-adjustable pedals, allowing short and tall drivers to adjust seats and pedals for the safest, most comfortable driving position.

Perhaps most important for a family hauler, Windstar is also the only minivan to earn the Federal government's highest crash-test rating, five stars for the driver and front-passenger, for seven straight years. Now Windstar has also achieved the double five-star rating in the new side-impact tests when equipped with optional side-impact air bags.
