  I really enjoy driving this car. It handles well and is a very comfortable ride. The gas mileage is very good both in town and on the road.

  The Best Sedan We Ever Bought! - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By Brian - May 2 - 12:26 am

  Well, here we are, 10K miles later and we keep marveling at how much we love this great automobile. The fuel mileage is on target, no squeaks or rattles, comfortable as all getup and it goes like stink when needed. The ONLY reason it was returned to the dealer was to reprogram the dealer installed remote starter that includes all the bells and whistles that somehow got a glitch. It has been absolutely trouble free, other than that! This is by far The Best Car we have ever owned, and we trade every 3-4 years. This makes this the 15th personal car we have owned, not counting 10 company vehicles that we have had in a fleet. I have to give Ford a "Dattaboy!" with the 500.

  Smooth Sailing - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By S.J. Carey - April 10 - 3:06 am

  This is mainly driven by my wife. Our children love the DVD player. Gets way better gas mileage than our Lincoln LS. I like dealerships that actually care about their customers. When you shell out $30,000 dollars for a car I want to be pampered before, during, and after the sale. Considered buying a Camry, Accord, or Maxima BUT with the same features this 500 was thousands of dollars less expensive.This is a nice car that I love to drive.

  Great Car - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By PHE - April 8 - 9:53 pm

  This one is a sleeper. Honestly, its a Chrysler 300 for thousands less. The only thing I would change about the car is the power -- it does need more. But the comfort is better than Chrysler, the visibility is great, and the Audiophile sound system is good. My father-in-law thinks it looks like a Mercedes, and my wife calls it a luxury car that fools the insurance companies into thinking its "just" a Ford.

  Satisfied in NY - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By Central NY - March 24 - 8:40 am

  Love this car. I have had it since new and have 92000 miles on it. I have driven this car 11 hours in one day and never get stiff or cramped like other cars I have owned. Gas mileage is great at 24 mpg love the leather and sunroof. The traction control was worth every cent of the upgrade price. Have never had a problem in snow. I will say its a typical ford as far as brakes go, I am on my 3rd set along with 3rd set of tires. But even after 92,000 mile the car is as steady on the road as the day I picked it up from the dealer. Wish they didnt rename it to Taurus I think the car would have done better as a 500.

  Feels like a Volvo - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By John D - January 23 - 10:06 pm

  Overall, I am very impressed with this car. Ive had it for 3 months and have not had any unpleasant experiences. The car is very comfortable, even on very long trips, handles great, and has all the features I wanted. The CVT takes some getting used to but has been a nice surprise as well. Ive had a Volvo in the past, and you do notice the car drives similar (very solid car). Gas mileage attained was nearly the same as on the window sticker.

  St. Louis - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By St. Louis - December 27 - 1:50 am

  Smooth drive, outstanding visibility, lots of room, quiet. Critics say the design is poor. I dont agree with them. The design is very attractive. Hopefully Ford is not listening to the critics. I think Ford hit a grand slam with the 500!

  my sweet ford =) - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By Tiffaney - November 13 - 5:46 pm

  I bought my car about 2 weeks ago, and I absolutely love it. Its my first big investment, considering Im 20 years old. I was previously driving a 2000 hyundai elantra, the transition was amazing! As soon as I sit my fanny in the seat I feel super safe. The breaks are wonderful, the interior, is B.E.A.UTIFUL. I dont know much about transmissions but the CVT transmission gives me a really smooth acceleration, no feeling of gears switching, the road sound is a very low hum, unlike the roar I heard in the hyundai. The only downfall to this vehicle is the gas mileage, I was under the impression that it did pretty well, in my brief experience I only get 21 mpg highway, and city.

  Rolands Ford Five Hundred Review - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By Roland - October 30 - 10:40 pm

  I love the comfort, look and feel the car. It is large and has plenty of rear seat and trunk space. The interior is ordinary, nothing unique about it, but comfortable. The seats sit high. The acceleration from a stand still leaves a lot to be desired. Acceleration for passing at road speeds in good. The blessing to the 203 hp engine is the gas mileage. Ive been averaging 23ish in the city, not bad! All in all I am happy with the car.
