    What do guys think of the Ford Freetyle?

    What do guys think of the Ford Freetyle? We are thinking about replacing the our 2000 Mazda MPV with 170,000 mile with it. I like the fact it has a Duratec motor since we had great luck with ours. I wish Mazda would countinue to make the MPV. Also the CX9 is a little to spendy for our taste.
