  More than enough power, best mpg - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Ward - June 6 - 10:06 am

  This car hit the mark, great mpg, great comfort and practical performance at a great price. I have had the E500 and everything in between. Fords 500 is the best, period. As gas prices hit $2.20 I laughed to the bank getting 31+ hwy. Avg is 26.7 during my 45 mile commute to work.

  Ford has a Winner! - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By jmcneer - June 5 - 9:23 am

  Ford has neatly blended the key engineering features of an SUV and a family sedan to provide a unique vehicle that has the handling, surefootedness, and road visibility to provide a comfortable and confident ride in any weather. The incorporation of Volvos frame, AWD system, and safety awareness combined with Fords V6 3L engine and the CVT should make this sedan an attractive vehicle to a variety of consumers. All of this combined with a variety of useful instrumentation features gives this car the feel of a luxury sedan for an affordable price!! Gas mileage has been impressive so far- only driven 1000 miles but have averaged 19/28mpg. Not bad for an AWD with adequate power.

  Wheres the beef? - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By CJ - May 23 - 6:06 pm

  Great all around car, especially for the family. Comfort is more than adequate, trunk is huge and styling is nice. Horribly underpowered and the standard (SEL) sound system stinks. If I had it to do over again, Id look at Nissan Maxima or Volvo S80.

  Great Daily Driver - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Marauder Fan - March 28 - 4:30 pm

  This is a great family car and daily driver. Much more personality than an Asian appliance car. Maintenance was easy and low cost, and interior fit and finish are good. The rear brakes had issues with pad life but Wagner Thermoquiet fixed that. I like the CVT, took some getting used to, and with regular fluid changes, at 100K miles I have no issues.

  I love my car! - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Hillary - March 27 - 10:13 pm

  I have had several SUVs but missed the comfort of a car. The 500 is the best possible choice. I bought it right before 2 huge snow storms and it went right through everything. I LOVE MY CAR!

  Its a great car - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Tim - February 19 - 3:36 pm

  I go though a lot of cars with my job. This is my first Ford since 1979 and I really like this car. Now Im driving 220 miles a day and it is very comfortable. I have 135,000 miles on it. Never had to do anything to it, expect tires, oil,brakes. No belts or spark plugs ever changed. These car were built on the volvo chassis. I dont buy into people saying it is under powered. I have the speeding tickets to prove them wrong. It will 90 to 100 mph all day long and still get 27 mpg.

  Love My Limited - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By angel carter - February 18 - 8:26 am

  The "Command Seating" and interior room gives me the view and comfort of a much larger sedan. Yet the dimensions, styling and performance handles like a much smaller vehicle. The Homelink visor is convenient. Steering wheel mounted controls became second nature on the first day. No need to take my hands off the wheel to change the radio station or set cruise control. At 53" I found with most vehicles I sit too close to the steering wheel for my comfort. This is not a problem in the Five Hundred. That and the adjustable pedals allow me even more room. With the FWD and traction control there was no slippage of wheels in bad weather. That and I love how its styling turns heads.
