  I like comfort, safety and a lot of room - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Expatpr - February 14 - 12:53 am

  The 500 LTD is great car for the price. The mileage is terrific 27 hwy 19+ city and it has plenty of power for the average driver. (I should know, my other car is a Marauder) It handles very well and brakes better than a lot of other cars. I train company drivers and drive a lot of different makes and models of cars. The 500 has tremendous visibility and lets you sit in a position allowing you to see everything around you in any driving situation. The trunk is huge and well designed to put cargo into it and get it back out without struggling or having to bend over too far to get to it. It seats 5 adults comfortably and is quiet enough to converse without shouting.

  A happy Ford Five Hundred owner! - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Christy - February 11 - 6:46 pm

  I have had a Toyota Camry for about five years. It was time for a new car and I thought I would just buy a new Camry. We decided to try a few others and found the Five Hundred. Lucky for us! Its beautiful, everyone looks! The ride is wonderful. If I had to say anything negative at all it would probably just have a little to do with the materials of the interior doors. I feel that for a small amount more than I would pay for the Camry, I got sooo much more with the Five Hundred. Im loving it!

  Suggested Changes - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By dpizzan - January 9 - 10:00 am

  Overall, the Ford 500 is an exceptional vehicle. Some improvements that could be made, more horsepower, better sound system...(Bose)...change the grill...get rid of the Ford emblem in the grill and replace it with a hood ornamant...and offer pearl white on the Limited version..with these few minor changes, this car would truly be a world class touring car!

  Love the car, good fuel milage & looks - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Kathy Bedell - December 14 - 10:10 pm

  Have made cross country trip and the car handles great. It is comfortable for long distances. I feel the low end power lacks but once you adjust to the slower acceleration its okay. I like the interior design with dash compartment for small items. Very large & comfortable car, truck is super large, its great for traveling.

  A bit too early to tell, but here goes.. - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By johnclineii - November 28 - 10:00 am

  What other AWD full size sedan is available for less than $30k and fairly well equipped? An excellent car for the price. CVT is a unique feature that will, for some, take some getting used to. Be sure to check out foot space on both driver and passenger sides before buying. Plenty for me, but others might not think so. And why, Ford, no Sirius Satellite Radio? No stability control? And only the 3.0? Still, a great value and I am well satisfied, so far. Reliability remains to be proven, but may well be better than average. For this car to succeed, it must be reliable!

  Great Value, Great Drive - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By JasonT1978 - November 28 - 10:00 am

  Smooth, quiet and handles great. Solid thunk to doors, and Volvo based construction makes the car feel VERY solid and safe! Awesome interior, huge inside and very comfortable.

  Easily most comfy car Ive ever driven.. - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Larry - November 26 - 7:53 am

  Ive bought a few new cars in my life, but buying this 2005 Ford 500 in 2007 may be my best car purchase ever. Has a nicer, more comfy car ever been built? I say, "no."

  500 Reasons - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Stephen Fiorino - November 12 - 9:13 pm

  I also own a Lexus RX and have owned a Lexus automobile since 1990. This car is just as quiet, rides as smooth and has a lot of room. Back seat passengers love the back seat leg room. AWD is a plus as it navigates through bad weather.

  Louisiana Highway 1 rating - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Penney McCabe - November 6 - 10:53 am

  The Ford Five Hundred drives and feels like a European car. We bought it because the frame is higher than most American cars, making it easier for my disabled husband to get in and out. The gas mileage is sufficient to keep me satisfied. Since most of my driving is around town, trips of one mile or less, the mileage has never reached the advertised mark, but I understand why this is and am not dissatisfied with it. Having owned the car one year, I can state that we havent found the first thing wrong with it. This is the first auto we have ever been able to make this statement about.
