Love This Car - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By Gerald - December 9 - 12:10 pmTraded an 03 Acura TL which was a great car on the highway, but was not ergonomically suited to less than agile youngsters entering and exiting. And even youth found the back seat less than comfortable. The 500 is just the opposite, and while the 6-speed hunts a lot at around 45-55, it is a a good driving car that is, for a sedan, very responsive.

Satisfied with my Five Hundred - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By Roger - November 19 - 11:56 amI just purchased a 2005 model year Limited FWD for my wife. We have had it about 2 weeks and simply love this car. The interior is simply outstanding and has a very luxury look and feel to it. Seats are very comfortable, front and rear legroom is great, road noise is acceptable but could be improved (I can still carry on a conversation in the car without raising the level of my voice). Power is more than adequate for us. The Duratec 3.0 liter engine is a very reliable engine. I have a 1996 Sable, also purchased new, with over 90K miles and have had no issues whatsoever with it. Im looking forward to several years of driving pleasure with our new Five Hundred.

Four Months with my Ford 500 Limited - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By L Jackman - November 16 - 2:46 amIm happy with the car. I had an SUV for 6 years, loved it. This is a nicer ride, smooth; I love the high seating---good road visibility and comfort. I never thought I would buy a Ford---Im totally impressed and recommend this to anyone looking for a larger vehicle.

Love the 500 - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By WFoley - November 12 - 1:26 pmAs a previous Passat owner, I love the look of the Euro cars. However, as a family man I needed more room. The 500 delivers! I have been very pleasantly surprised, it is a great looking car, very comfy, very roomy, easy and intuitive controls. Highly recommend.

Great car for the money - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By Wally Walczak - September 26 - 4:20 pmWe did a lot of research on this car. We had a 2003 Acura TL before this. For the money, Ford gives you a lot of car for under $30,000. The AWD Limited is the model we purchased. My wife is the main driver and she loves it. It sits a lot higher for a great view, its loaded with just about every option, and the 5 Star safety rating gives us a great sense of security when driving. It burns regular gas which is a big savings over the Acura which requires premium gas. The car handles well and the engine, which some say is underpowered, is plenty powerful for us. If you are looking for a loaded car with a lot of room and safety features, you cant beat the Ford Five Hundred. We love it!

Ford 500 - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By Jerry Paison - August 13 - 11:30 pmThis car is the best "comfort" car I ever owned. The engine/CVT are smooth and quite. The interior seats are comfortable, and interior space is huge. The truck will carry a lot of luggage, golf clubs, etc.

2006 Ford Five Hundred AWD - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By VtHockeyDad - July 29 - 5:23 pmI am very impressed with the Ford Five Hundred. I am in sales and drive approximately 35,000 miles per year. I was first impressed that this car was basically a Volvo S80 for a little over half the price. Safety is very important since my kids will often ride with me. I average about 25 MPG, mostly highway. I love the transmission which is unconventional since it never shifts. It is a bit slow off the line, but once the speed reaches 20 mph, it has plenty of power. My only complaint is road noise. There should more insulation. The car handles very well with the AWD even at higher speeds. I highly recommend it for the money and mileage.

Transmission Issues - 2006 Ford Five Hundred

transmission clunking - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
By jmlws - July 2 - 11:17 pmBought car used with 128k miles, shortly transmission started clunking loudly in lower gears between 2 & 3 on the CVT tranny. I guess Im not the only one with tranny problems on these cars. If Ford made a lemon you would thing they would do the right thing and announce a recall to keep their people happy. It would actually bring them more new business. This will be my last Ford unless they fix it.
