Yes, my car is a Windstar. I have had very few problems (save for the transmission dying) with it. I like the car. I like that I can see well out of it. I like that I neither have to fold myself up into a pretzel to get in (like with the little rental I have) nor take a big giant step to get up into it (like the horrible 15 passenger vans we have on campus). It is comfortable to drive. It gets OK but not great gas mileage, but that's OK because some weeks I may not drive much more than 25 miles.
I miss my car. Wah. I hope they can figure out what's wrong with it and fix it.
I realize this probably means I'm a boring person but I think my next car will perhaps be a Windstar again. (I had thought of a Honda, but the nearest reliable service place is far enough away that it makes me uncomfortable. The benefit of a Ford is that if I buy it from the local dealer, they can deal with under-warranty problems and I have a place to take it for repair work).

I thought they stopped making Windstars (I could be wrong). Although you could get a used one. We went with a Honda Odyssey and have no regrets so far. The Honda dealer is also much further away, but our local garage/gas station can service it "officially."

The Windstar was replaced by the Freestar, which in turn was replaced by a whole bunch of "crossovers"; Ford no longer sells a classic minivan, to the extent that the minivan can be considered "classic" at all.
