Was looking for a Hybrid - 2007 Ford Five Hundred
By Sid - January 24 - 9:53 pmI went shopping for a hybrid and due to a lack of availability i ended up buying a 500. So far I love the car. It handles well and is very spacious. I traded in a Ford Explorer so the gas mileage is a huge improvement. I see a lot of people saying the car is underpowered but Id prefer the better gas mileage over the power.

Big Comfort, Snow Machine - 2007 Ford Five Hundred
By moose72690 - December 23 - 11:36 pmOverall this is a great car! I bought mine with 104,000 miles on it for $7,500 bucks! Its AWD and Limited. I live in Vermont up in the mountains so the AWD has been put to the test and it works great! Even without snow tires I can plow through the snow... The Limited "creature comforts" are great and all still working without issue. I average 22.8MPG which I think is prettty good considering I drive daily on mountain roads and its AWD.

WAY UNDER RATED - 2007 Ford Five Hundred
By scotsman5 - November 30 - 11:01 amMy 2007 I bought new. The only thing that we replaced is a altenator and battery once and the normal brakes, tires, filters, tuneups. This car still drives and rides like the day we bought it. The car has 182,488k miles. Id buy a new one but ford no longer builds them. Ready to buy another with 37k miles. Love these cars.

Air Compressor Out at 44k miles - 2007 Ford Five Hundred
By PACU - November 18 - 11:36 pmOnce again I have issues with a Ford at the untimely 45k mile marker. My compressor goes out in 100 degree weather and Ford wants to charge me $950 to fix it. I try to get Ford to work with me and they refused to come any lower than the $950. Last time it was my trans on my Explorer at 45k miles and they refused to work with me then too. 3 years and less than 45k miles is too early for a compressor and I think Ford should have worked with me. So with what I feel was less than acceptable customer service for a 30+ year Ford customer, Ive decided that this is my sixth and LAST FORD. Ive been a Ford man my entire life, but after two problems like this, no more.

Love my car but 2 aggravations.. - 2007 Ford Five Hundred
By Judie - October 4 - 10:00 amWe have a problem keeping the drivers seat in selected selected position. The trunk lock is real stinker. Usually takes several tries to open it. I Wish it had a key entry to it.

Excellent car overall, but repairs are frequent - 2007 Ford Five Hundred
By International Emergency Vehicle Repsonses - September 15 - 8:41 amI like my Ford Five- Hundred SEL 3.0L V6. Overall, excellent car. The main problem im having right now is ride comfort, transmission being to lurky, and repairs. It is not as reliable as my 2007 Toyota Highlander Sport 3.3L V6 3R, but the dealer support is a lot better. I take my car to quick- lane, and they are super nice people, love the vending machines in the waiting room and I like the fact that they are honest- they focus more on quality repairs than making a profit, which is very impressive. It has had a lot of drivetrain problems: Many engine leaks and problems, some transmission problems and the occasional brake problems, but too be fair, I should take better care of it, getting the oil changed more, etc. I like the interior, nice cloth seats and the legroom is amazing. I love how the center console is level with the seats, because everytime I drive it, my dog sits on the armrest/ center console and he loves it there, you know he feels safe and hes next to me, so we both love it. Handling in snow is great, considering it is Front Wheel Drive, way way better snow handling than my Toyota Highlander. Transmission lurches everytime I change gears, which is annoying and the car is too low to the ground, so much so that when driving over a speed bump, one can hear the "pleasant" sound of the undercarriage scraping the bump, and backing out of driveways, you hear the famous scrape sound that my car is notorious for. I could take better care of it though, and Im a Ford fan till the end. Its not my preferred style of vehicle, Id like an SUV or pickup, but its a great car overall. I bought it new in 2008 for $7500 after it was my work car

Far better than you think! - 2007 Ford Five Hundred
By Joel - July 7 - 6:56 pmI purchased this vehicle as a result of searching for something comfortable after major surgery. Strong engine for a 3.0, CVT is quite cool once you get used to how it operates, AWD is seamless, the ride and handling are comfortable without being bone jarring, controls are well placed. The interior and trunk are cavernous, fit, finish and features are quite good for a car picked up with 19800 miles and going on three years old. Intuitive controls, upward seating position, phenomenal stereo and nav system round out a really cool car. Im not certain why the automotive reviews were so harsh on this car. I could not disagree more with the reviews out there by the auto critics.

Big Blue - 2007 Ford Five Hundred
By richy07 - July 4 - 6:45 amI purchased mine with 20K miles, big blue now has 110K. Ive replaced the battery, frt brakes, rear brakes twice, rear rotors and tires. I previously drove a 2 dr buick regal that I LOVED for 14yrs. I never liked 4dr vehicles but the regal & monte carlo were out of circulation, I was forced into one. It was hard to get used to it, (didnt go like the regal!), hydroplaning but the new tires stopped that. Its been 6 yrs and this has been an extremely comfortable, dependable, efficient vehicle I have grown to appreciate. I wouldnt say its "fun to drive". The only maintenance I do is oil change/tire rotation every 5000-6000 miles, waste of money before 5k. I get 25-27 mpg.

The Ford Five Hundred - 2007 Ford Five Hundred
By thundrol - June 30 - 8:06 amWhen I first saw the vehicle I knew that I wanted to have one of my own. I got one the next month, and boy have I ever had fun with it. I have not regretted getting it since the day that I got it. The performance of the car was phenomenal.
