New SEL 500 owner - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By Jeff - December 22 - 6:53 pmHave a new FWD SEL 500 with Pwr Moonroof and leather. Except for the analog clock, heated seats and backup sensor, it could be a LIMITED. The most comfortable riding Ford I have ever driven aside from my Ford Pickup.

Drive it and you will buy it - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By TommyB2513 - December 18 - 10:10 pmThis is one of the best vehicles I have driven in quite a while. It is comfortable, has plenty of power, large interior space, A/C cools well - I am in Texas and that is important - large truck and best of all, a quality vehicle. Too many people are saying it has no power; it does have what is necessary for a professional/family sedan. I have had many compliments after people have ridden in the car. You must take a look at it before you take the word of people who just like high priced fast cars. This car is for the normal everyday Joe who wants a car that will last him a long time.

Great car for the money (AWD) - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By Tony - December 12 - 5:16 amJust purchased the car but am very impressed. Didnt think Id ever say this but I really do like to drive in the rain and cant wait for the snow. My Five Hundred has AWD and traction control (Limited Series) with all of the bells.

Ford 500 - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By rollin - October 26 - 11:46 pmPurchased the Ford 500 with the CVT transmission on the SE model front wheel drive. The car has plenty of power for me. I like the size and quality that Volvo has added. The doors are well sealed with rubber and makes all road sounds a thing of the past. The air conditioner gets the car cool fast. The tires are 17 inch and are wide to hold the road, nice ride. It was a bargain with the employee discount, under $20,000. It is a nice safe car. Take your foot off the gas and it rolls freely. Getting about 18 miles to the gallon around town. Could do better in town with more careful driving.

Pleasantly surprised - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By Cathy - September 30 - 3:16 amMy 99 Chrysler 300M was totaled in April and I was looking for a SAFE, reliable and comfortable replacement car. We looked at the 300s, Acura TL (nice$$) Toyota Avalon (nice$$) Lincoln Zephyr (nice$$). I am not used to car payments and really didnt want to pay the $$$ that these cars would have cost me. There are few frills, but plenty of room, pep and great fuel economy. Small car handling, large car room...great performance on daily expressway driving. The price was great and I am very happy with this car!

Top - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By Don Groen - September 21 - 9:20 amAfter nearly 6,000 miles, I have had no problems. On the highway I have been averaging around 31 MPG driving at or near speed limit. It is a pleasure to drive and it gets lots of curiosity lookers and questions. I am very satisfied with the 500.

My Ford 500 - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By Melodie - September 17 - 3:10 pmI love everything about this car, It looks good rides nice and handles good. I get stopped and asked about my Ford 500 all the time! I would buy another in a heartbeat as long as it is the Limited Edition.

Nice vehicle - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By WisconsinGal - August 24 - 7:16 amPurchased the SEL in March of 2006. Have yet to see 29 miles to the gallon. 24 at best. Vehicle has some type of wheel problem. theyve replaced links and flushed steering column (no idea why). However, the problem with the wheel - persistent steering wheel shakes and the noise is so loud I have to turn my radio up just to hear it. Not the car I bought back in March. Computer odometer seems to be off will have them look at that as well.

Computer is deceiving - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By W. Graham - July 24 - 2:40 amI test drove one of these before buying mine and loved it. Mine has been excellent except for the brake problem and the fact it is underpowered. I found the gas mileage to be better than expected, but I actually compute it the old-fashioned way with pencil and paper. If you subtract the ending miles from the beginning and divide by the actual gallons used per the gas pump, you will see that your mileage is significantly better than the computer shows. I dont know why. I live in the country and get 23-25 running around and 25-27 on trips, using regular gas. I dont like the look of the 2008, but will try one when the time comes. Long time relationship with this great dealer.
