  Great car,Great value! - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By nice car! - December 25 - 8:16 pm

  Traded our Explorer in for the new Five Hundred and so far we are very pleased with our choice. We no longer need the utility vehicle and wanted something that was full size but not oversized and after looking at many makes and models we settled on the Ford 500 because we felt it was more bang for the buck with the AWD and options galore for around $23,000.Very happy owner!

  Best sedan for the money - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By prmonse - December 19 - 1:56 am

  I was looking for a affordable and comfortable sedan, this 500 is a great deal, you cant get anything domestic or imported that offers this amount of room and comfort for the money. For $27000 I got a fully loaded sedan with all the new technology, incredible room, more than adequate performance, since every magazine complains of the 203 hp engine, and excellent mileage for such a large car, Ive got 28mpg on my first fill up. Love the high seating position, the comfortable and quiet ride that doesnt preclude sporty driving when you hustle.

  Nice Car - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By DaveInNC - October 1 - 10:23 pm

  We have had our SEL FWD for 14 months now and have driven it about 12000 miles. We have three cars, so this one isnt driven every day, but we are always sure to take this one when we go on longer trips because it is very comfortable and gets good mileage. When cruising on the freeway, this car is quiet and smooth, but the engine is a little bit noisy under brisk acceleration. The 6-speed transmission behaves well and helps the somewhat underpowered 3.0L engine performs as well as it possibly can. The car has been very reliable so far, but I have had to take it to the shop for rear suspension noise (brake cable grommet) and to have a new dash storage compartment lid installed (bubbles).

  By baglumper - July 3 - 6:13 am

  just bought this car it now has 400 miles on it. car is very comfortable, looks great, lots of people think it is a lexus at first. front seats are great, fuel economy 25.6 on the road but not broke in yet. back seat leg room huge, and the trunk grand canyon size. would definitely recommend to familys of 4. price was great, got this one for invoice $24000.

  Not Quite As Good As Taurus - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Swyler - May 30 - 9:26 am

  This is a good car for the money - features compare quite favorably to the Cadillac STS, which lists at over $40K. Engine offers plenty of power with the CVT, although it is noisy. The build quality is very good, but I liked my 2003 Taurus a little better. Its a little uncomfortable. The front door panels have something at the forward end that protrudes into your leg.

  Pretty good for a first year car - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Jeff - January 8 - 1:56 am

  My positive comments: You get a lot of car for the money and the size is fantastic. My negative comments: At times the transmission seems to search for the right gear and is underpowered at start.
