Climate controls are highly effective at cooling or heating the cavernous interior. Seats are heavy, and removing the rear unit is definitely a two person job. With rear seats in, storage behind third seat is somewhat tight. Third seat is comfortable, but center seat is seriously lacking in leg and foot room. Materials, fit and finish are first rate, aside from cheesy center console.
Doors are thick, wide, and heavy.
It's hard to get in and out in tight quarters without banging into neighboring cars. Driving position is excellent, with chair-like supportive seats. Lots of engine racket is transferred to the passenger compartment. Wind roar over A-pillars and humongous side mirrors, combined with engine vibration through accelerator, results in an environment not unlike that found on your average commercial airliner. There are no blind spots on the Windstar, save for the front end, which is very difficult to see when parking.
