  A Solid Car for the Right Price - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By Mark - August 21 - 5:53 am

  After 6,000 miles I am very satisfied with my Ford Five Hundred. I have a fully loaded AWD Limited. The amount of options and features available for the price is an excellent value. I purchased this vehicle when gas prices were at their peak in hopes to achieve better MPG than my F-150. I am very satisfied with the MPG I am getting (about 19/20 city). I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who is in the market for a sedan. I have an issue with the electronics in the instrument panel and interior lighting that causes the lights to dim and flicker periodically. I am not sure if this is a widespread problem or if I have a faulty component.

  Transmission - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By kimgross12 - August 18 - 6:06 am

  My car is a 2006... It has almost 180,000 miles on it. For the most part this has been a good car however, I still feel the transmission shouldnt not be going out. As I read other reviews and notice the same car and year has all these transmission issues is a sign of a test car. Is it fair now that my transmission has died and I have to get another car...NO! My expectation was to keep this car for along time.

  By Mark - July 16 - 12:03 pm

  I just bought this car and was very surprised at the deal I got 12600 sel awd and only 17k. This was a no brainer. I just do not know why there are so many of them out there for such a great price. I love the features.

  Goodbye Ford - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By Jeevis - June 27 - 7:40 am

  Bought new...start of a nightmare! Motor has been ticking since 500 miles. Ford retorqued and adjusted arojund the camshaft twice-no improvement! Dealer is stumped! Constant brake problems (car has only 20000 miles now). Steering stops have to constantly be "re-set and re-greased" because of noises when steering. AC would not turn off at one point-fixed now. AC doors were striking something and made knocking noises whenever AC was turned on/off-now fixed. Still some odd sounds under dash (like water running) and A/C panel-again Ford is stumped! Dealer blames Ford; Ford blames dealer. This loyal customer will take his loyalty to Toyota/Honda-never to return to Ford again!

  Love it - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By Bill Kooser - April 23 - 5:20 pm

  Enjoy fitting in drivers seat. At 64"+ I can still wear my hat. Great road visibility. Great to sit high - makes for easier in and out. With drivers seat back, there is still room in the back for long legs.

  enjoying the road again - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By a.a. - April 14 - 7:13 am

  I was attracted to the 500 by its semi-luxury euro exterior which appears deceptively mid-size but open the doors and trunk lid...WOW! After purchasing, I read about its low horsepower being its weak point. City driving does have a full-size feel but on the highway this puppy gets up and Ive never felt it strain, so I attribute both inclinations to its CVT...either way, I enjoy driving again.

  Solid Performer for the Price - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By 6-Month Review - April 4 - 9:30 pm

  I really think the engine is more than large enough. The strain that I hear other talking about seem to be engine noise, which is significant even when simply taking-off from a stop at moderate acceleration.

  Ford forever - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By evelyn - April 2 - 9:46 pm

  I bought my vehicle brand new in 2006. She has (I call her a she) 22 inch tires and very shiny rims, tinted windows, charcoal grey. She gets plenty of compliments and plenty of heads that turn. I have not had any problems with my Ford Five hundred. She is very reliable, large interior, and great on gas. I feel honored to have purchased this vehicle in 2006 since 2007 was the last year they were made and changed to the name Taurus.

  Comfort and ergonomics - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By Bob Brownby - February 11 - 11:56 am

  I drive five hundred miles per week and have averaged over twenty nine miles per gallon. Ill take the gas mileage over the so called lack of power any day, especially considering the rising price of gas.The Five Hundred has great ergonomics and is the most comfortable cars Ive ever owned. Great value for the price.

  Great Value & Great Vehicle - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By DStewart - January 31 - 3:00 am

  This is my first Ford product. My wife bought the 2006 Freestyle. We were impressed with her vehicle. So I traded my 2003 Nissan Altima SL for a 2006 Ford 500 Limted AWD with 5K miles on it. I got a great price for all the features and low mileage, with 5 year warranty too. I wanted more back seat room for out two growing children. So far, the car has been fault free on every level and very satisfying for the cost. The Limited features are wonderful. It is a perfect all purpose vehicle with excellent saftey features, visability and since of control when driving. I highly recommend this vehicle and tip my hat to Ford.
