  Perfection - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By clayton-thomas - December 15 - 10:00 am

  The brand new Ford 500 has all the amenities of a full size luxury automobile. The ride is impecable. The supportive seats craddle you in ever twist and turn in its extremely lavish interior. The 500 is also very practical with its amazingly large trunk. This fuel economy is perfect for a car of its size. Hands down Ford has created a fantastic car that the whole family will love.

  Not your Grandpas Ford - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Ron C - December 7 - 7:13 am

  I have been eyeing the 500 sedan for years. I recently purchase a previous experienced Limited 500 with low miles at a great price. Ive read all the car magazine reviews and all have said that the 500 lacks engine horses. Its true the 500 isnt a stop light drag racer but put the hammer down and hang on! Ive been able to slice and dice alot of unaware BMW, Mercedes and Nissan drivers. Turn off the Traction Control and the 500 will four wheel drift nicely. In sleeper mode the cars ride and comfort is just super. The heated front seats are really nice on those cold morning commutes. All in all a very nice ride.

  I purchased this car for the leg room in the front and back seat area. Also for the trunk space. I realy liked the way the car looks and drives. I average 32 miles to the gallon with this car on the highway and about 22 in the city. I do a lot of road traveling and this car has never let me down for room, comfort and gas mileage. I true love this car.

  Running Stong - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Jacob - November 21 - 3:26 am

  I am so glad I decided to by my Five Hundred. It has been the perfect car for me. After 65,000 miles it is still running strong with no mechanical problems whats so ever. Nothing has gone wrong and Im now glad I didnt get the exteneded warranty. I consistantly get 22-24 mpg and the awd not only saved me this winter but got me out of the mud at a concert when a bunch of other sedans got stuck in a muddy field! I have every intention of running this vehicle until it rolls over and dies, but its going to be a long time from now.

  LOVE MY NEW AUTO - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By J Tudor - November 5 - 4:33 pm

  I like everything about the auto. It is the first new car Ive ever owned. When I took my test drive it was like a good fitting coat. It felt good.

  Love this car! - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Darlene - November 3 - 8:46 am

  I love this car! Comparable to Lincoln Town Car with its roomy inside and ride. Sporty looks but also classy too. Only complaint is that the moonroof doesnt close automatically when doors are locked.

  Ready for an 08 - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By J Jennings - October 10 - 7:50 pm

  Bought this car one day and put 1500 miles on it starting the next day. Handled great in all types of terrain. Mountains of N.Y. and New England, and interstate highways. Since purchase it has been in the shop for bubble in dash storage, one recall, and all 4 wheel covers replaced for peeling clear coat. All replaced under warranty. 30,000 miles the rear brakes were worn out but front were fine. Nothing major that would stop me from purchasing another 500. Gas mileage, comfort, and style all great. AWD only let me get stuck in snow once. Hope Ford keeps building this vehicle.

  favorable - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Brian D. Brown - September 17 - 6:16 am

  My Ford Five-Hundred Limited has a spacious interior and a very smooth ride. The command seating gives me the feeling of having an advantage over drivers who are seated closer to the ground in other cars. Im finding that my mileage is hovering around the low estimate of 19mpg in the city, but on the open road it gets well into the estimated 29mpg range. Curves are handled deftly and the interior "noise" is less than Ive experienced with other Fords. I feel there is great value in my car considering its relatively low price and so far Im quite pleased with it. Reverse sensors & front and side airbags increase my confidence regarding the safety of the vehicle.

  Ford 500 - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Sue - September 16 - 1:20 am

  I regret buying this car. There is no pick up, the quality of the interior is very poor, the gas mileage is horrible. I could hear and feel the brakes each time I pressed them. I could feel the axles moving in my car when I turned the steering wheel. In the 2 years that I have had this car, I have had to have the power steering pump replaced and the air conditioner fixed twice.

  You sure Ford made this? - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By whatta ford - September 5 - 5:13 pm

  This car is to be left stock. Bigger wheels slows it down. It handles well with the stock 215 60 17 but for a great upgrade you can go to a 235 55 17 without altering your odometer and making an amazing difference in conering(they are cheaper too). The factory radio is very blah but a local circuit city can add a rca converter, an amp kit with a small sub with enclosure for less than 300.00 and you got the bass fill the factory 5x7s do not pick up(do not waste your money on new door speakers). As for the motor its an off the line slug but the six speed is a champ on the freeway. Take your time and get 30 plus mpg on the freeway.And last tint your windows to help the big beasts car lines!
