  Ok, my turn - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Richard C - July 29 - 6:36 pm

  Im constantly receiving compliments on my 500s sophisticated styling and classic/ traditional look. I like the 500 best in black, with the black interior. It feels just as cozy and comfortable as other luxury cars that I have been in. The ride is almost butter smooth on the freeway. Ive often found myself cruising at 80 mph, and didnt know i was driving that fast. It really is a tremendous value, because a top-of the line 500 runs thousands less than its comparably equipped competition cars.

  A winner in the 500 - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Ward - July 11 - 1:23 am

  This is my 27th automobile. I have had at least one from each of the Big 3 and many imports from either side of the ponds. This car is the best, hands down that I have ever owned. My gas mileage is a welcome surprise in recent times. 28 mpg average after 14,000 miles is no small feat for a large car.

  Heaven - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By cynthia homis - June 5 - 10:06 pm

  My new car is a home away from home. The leather seats are so soft and durable. I dont feel like I am in a car but on my luxury sofa at home. My work takes me to many offices throughout the day so my car needs to be efficient and comfortable. I am confident that my car will keep me safe in all weather. The traction and controls are superb. Having the options on the steering wheel makes my travel more enjoyable.The airbag in the passengers seat will turn off if the weight is under 80 pounds. .Enjoy the CVT smooth ride. This is the best purchase I have made. I would highly recommend this car to everyone.

  LOVE my new 500!! - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By 4thefrd500 - June 3 - 9:16 am

  I recently traded in my Mercury Monterey minivan for the Ford 500. (est drove 4 other cars before buying). Was skeptical at first but I love it more with each day. It is fun to drive, the kids have plenty of room in the back seat and the trunk is HUGE (can fit the kids bikes in the there)! It is also affordable and GREAT on gas. Also, cheaper to insure that the minivan. No complaints here. I would recommend this car to anyone.

  SoFarSoGood - great looks, smooth ride - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By jekcartalk - May 31 - 4:36 am

  Like the overall appearance of the car; some factory defects on the back passenger doors ( looks like someone dinged the door). The power is adequate.The CVT transmission is smooooth. The interior is nicely laid out with comfortable seats (have driven over 400 miles in one sitting). The stereo system is fine. 26mpg highway and 21 city. Road noise is minimal in the Limited. Compared to the other cars I have driven (Audi, BMW, Acura, MDX) there is no clear advantage or disadvantage. The car is solidly built and for the price paid (~$4.5k less than sticker), reasonably priced for the market. For a family man with three active children it has good cabin space compared to other sedans.

  I went from a Ford Explorer to the new 500 and got better gas mileage and more room. Love it.

  By oliver feria - April 29 - 10:23 am

  I have been enjoying the car as much as possible. I feel good in the car because is a smooth drive and also give me style. Very comfortable and even though it doesnt give you the feel of performance car it is very responsive. I can say that the power is there with the acceleration in a smooth way that other dont give you.

  Just What I was expecting! - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Juan Romagosa - March 27 - 10:03 am

  The interior space I thought I could only find in the Expedition I had. I do not think you can get more car for your money. Ford read my mind in terms of design, craftmanship and engine response. It is difficult to find such a set of features in this price range. Features that are typical of much more expensive cars. I am extremely impressed!

  This ones got what it takes. - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Dave - March 1 - 9:36 am

  You have to see this one for yourself. Dont believe the negatives without checking it out. Do believe the positives, this baby is one fine car. Ok, so they get a lot of HP out of a small displacement engine by winding it up and downshifting a bit much, but the performance you need is there when you need it. A lot of thought went into this car; its a well balanced design. It handles like a dream and rides like a heavier car than its curb weight might lead you to believe. And last but not least, that higher seat postion is wonderful!

  love this car - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By marcotte,dave - February 24 - 10:10 pm

  Bought this car for my wife, but now cant wait to get home so I can drive it. Deceptively roomy inside, rides great, love the height of the seats easy to get in and out of. Want to see how the awd feature works in the snow. Have had car for only three months and have gotten lots of compliments on its looks. We got the Limited awd in black, with tan leather interior really a sharp looking car. I love to keep it clean, a real head turner! Makes me feel like Im 18 again.
