  Two 500 Family - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By Eric - May 29 - 12:30 am

  My wife and I traded our both old cars at the same time and bought 2 500s. Mine is the SEL. I Have been a sedan man all my life until I bought an SUV four years ago. Im very happy to be back in this sedan. It reminds me of the Grand Marquis I use to drive. Comfortable, handles well, minimal road noise. The CVT in my wifes Limited has better pickup, and the Limited has a few more features, but the SEL is good for me. While I might buy a Limited next time, it really isnt that much different.

  Lots of room, but electrical problems - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By ebutterfly - April 10 - 12:10 pm

  This car has lots of room and great to have with 2 kids. The problems that we have had though is that they have already had to replace the radio. It would just go out and have no sound with it. Now we are having problems with the windows not working. I dont know if we just got a lemon or if this is a manufacturing problem. If the windows are working, I love this car.

  Early Ownership Impressions - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By David - February 23 - 11:40 am

  This car is the best combination of room, comfort, features and economy in the marketplace. More after 20,000 miles or so.

  Havent had any significant problems - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By moonview1 - January 12 - 3:46 am

  Bought this car new in 06. Had an issue with the brakes from sitting on lot. Dealer took care of this, and also preempted later recall. An alignment issue used up rear tires by 15,000 miles . I was not happy with the dealers response which was basically an offer to sell me 4 tires and an alignment. Bought tires and alignment elsewhere. Other than that, this car has been a champ. Have 70,000+ with no problems. The only thing I have done is to change the oil religiously, and I put new brakes on rear. Sent in last payment this month, so I guess Ill put in some plugs, change the belt, and flush the coolant. Great car.

  Absolutely a Great Car - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By Tom - December 19 - 10:36 pm

  We bought this car to replace my wifes Grand Marquis, so we were used to large cars. The interior and trunk room in this car will make you rethink big. The is equipped with all options (not ordered, just the way it came) and we have found that they are mostly very useful. Adjustable gas and brake pedals are great for short drivers, they get you back some from the airbag. This car rides very smooth and responds very well to steering input. Brakes are firm and positive (and ABS). Safety (#1 pick by IIHS) was the single most important selling point for me. With the Safety Canopy and the addition of side mounted airbags, this is one of the safest cars you can own.

  Satisfied owner - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By Steve Nemeth - December 8 - 9:13 am

  I purchased my 2006 Ford 500 SE with the CVT transmission in November of 2005. It presently has 6,500 miles on it and is running great. I am very happy with this car and how well it is built. So far, it has lived up to my expectations. I read a lot of research about this car before I purchased. It does take time to get used to the CVT tranny and how it shifts. The car drives well. I cant really say its fun to drive, although it handles well. Fun driving to me, would be in a smaller sportier car.

  Fantastic Ford Five Hundred - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By wildgoose - November 28 - 8:10 am

  Ford has finally built an European auto, but at $10-15,000 less. I average 27 mpg on rolling hilly highways. Makes ice and snow covered roads feel like dry pavement. Plenty of room in cabin and trunk. Comfort and convenience combine with hi-tech controls and transmission for a fun-to-drive automobile. It doesnt just pretend to be of European quality. It challenges European quality. I still find it hard to believe that I got so much car for such a low price.

  mpg over rated in 500 - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By Jim - October 10 - 9:36 am

  I just bought a 2006 500 Limited. My shock was that it averages 5 mpg less than the sticker. Instead of getting 29 highway I am getting 24.5 mpg and I am only getting 18 in city. This is based upon the onboard computer. Each of my former vehicles my mpg matched the highway mileage for performance. Same roads - what a disappointment! Radio is cheap, too.
