My mother-in-law has a Freestyle, she likes it.
I haven't heard of any complaints with the CVT; the only reason that Ford is dropping it is because it's a high-cost unit because of the complexity and the tolerances needed to manufacture it. Repairs would need a "clean room" that your average AAMCO wouldn't have. Ford went to the 6 speed because it's relatively cheaper and the hit in gas mileage is minimal.
Altogether, the Freestyle is a good vehicle, very underrated.

TEAM PITA: Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.
