  2005 Ford 500 Limited - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Gk in Texas - March 6 - 4:23 am

  Very nice car. Lots of legroom front & rear & trunk room . The car rides really good & is quiet. I would recommend this car to anyone. Its a good value. The car really needs more power & I am not getting close to the gas mileage that was on the window sticker. The radio scan feature on the steering wheel needs to scan the pre-set stations, not the entire band width so you dont have to take your hands from the wheel. And the radio controls should be on the left side of the steering wheel & cruise on the right side. The sales rep told me the car had a Sirius radio option. According to the parts department this turned out to be untrue.

  Ford 500 - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Michael Bruer - January 20 - 7:06 pm

  The Ford 500 is one terrific automobile. The AWD handles snow and ice with aplomb and the CVT is a real treat, though it did whistle slightly for the first 1,500 miles. I give very high marks for comfort in front or back and I am over six feet. The sound system is excellent, but the six disc in-dash CD, as with most implementations, is awkward and slow. Overall, I would recommend this car to anyone who is more concerned with substance and value than hot design and blazing acceleration.

  It Fits Me Like a Glove - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Saundra W. Rush - January 1 - 9:56 am

  The Ford 500 Limited handles well in any weather on any surface. I enjoy the size of the car. The trunk has extra space that I need sometimes when traveling. There are so many things about the car that I enjoy. However, the best thing that I can say about it is that it fits me like a glove! The dealership staff was most helpful when I was deciding whether to buy this car. I couldnt have asked for more. The service center has been most helpful with oil changes and other services.

  My new car - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By craig arthor - December 23 - 3:26 am

  We had been looking into this class of car for almost 3 months and had decided on the Ford 500, for looks, size and style. We are over 50 and the ease of getting in and out of the car was a blessing. The safety features, solid frame, crumble zones, hood fire blanket and interior trunk release were a pleasant surprise but they overall package was a joy. The handling, the brakes, the visibility are exceptional. The look and feel of luxury matched up with practicality is a good concept Ford should expand on. We had a Taurus that had 157,000 miles on it when we traded for the 500 and if it gives us the service the Taurus did, no one will miss hearing our praises.

  Judging the Ford 500 - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Hartman - December 18 - 6:16 pm

  Comfortable, excellent seating, very good economy, roomy interior. A very nice car to drive. The ride could be a little softer. We like the car a little better each time we drive it. Excellent on the interstate highway.

  My review by Phil - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Philip Pfannenstiel - October 12 - 3:13 pm

  Since we purchase the 500 there have only been two others in our community. We have been stopped several times so people can check it out and get our comments, which are very favorable. The only thing bad about buying a new model is the insurance rating. On our trade in Buick Le Sabre Limited it was rated (11) $281 every 6 months. Our Ford Explorer (11) $281 every 6 months and the 500 (17) $465 every 6 months and that is with 5 agencies that we checked with. Another thing is when we were looking of the 500 Limited it seems 80% of them had a moon roof that was a $900 option we didnt want and it took close to a week for our dealer to find one without. Other then that we love the 500.

  Great Car - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Miller - September 19 - 4:56 pm

  Only had it for about a month, can see it will be a great car that will help with the budget due to gas mileage. Pretty sporty inside and out. Enjoy driving it.

  Steves Review - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Steve - August 9 - 5:50 am

  I have owned a Mercedes and two Lexus vehicles. This car rides just as good. The comfort of the leather seats are far better than the Mercedes and slightly better than the Lexus.
