  Love This Car - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By Gerald - December 9 - 12:10 pm

  Traded 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 am

  I 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.

  Love the 500 - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By WFoley - November 12 - 1:26 pm

  As 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 pm

  We 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!

  2006 Ford Five Hundred AWD - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By VtHockeyDad - July 29 - 5:23 pm

  I 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.

  Best Buy - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By jpvette - June 4 - 7:20 am

  One of the best of cars I have ever owned, it is great looking, and runs smooth and quiet. The 18 inch wheels really make all the difference. The power memory seating gives you a great view of the road. The interior is smart looking and well appointed has all the features of luxury car. Great truck room.

  love it so far - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By Jon VanDyk - March 5 - 5:16 am

  After three SUVs, I wasnt sure how I would feel about driving a sedan, even if it did feature "command seating." I have NOT been disappointed. this car is everything it is advertised to be and more. European style, great comfort, large in size and surprising gas mileage. altogether a great package.

  My European sport sedan - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By DMS - December 21 - 10:00 am

  Oh man when I first saw the car I said whats a 500? A friend had to tell me about the old name plate and I remembered so when I traded in my 97 Olds Aurora I was so impressed with the 500 with the look and how it handled, cause I only care about performance and how a car handles and the look was Awesome,while most of my buddies bought European Cars I bout a FORD FIVE HUNDRED AWD LIMITED,they were impressed also. havent had any problems and I bought it used with 41,000 I just put brakes on and new tires on it.I just want it to be more sporty but the car is the best SPORT SEDANAmerican I have had. My motto is "drive now, drive forever, drive Ford. Thanks Ford this is my first one.

  A LOT of car for the money! - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By Brian - November 10 - 8:10 am

  We love this car! After trading in our 3rd Explorer, we were a bit worried about winter traction up here on our New England mountain but after experiencing two snow storms, were convinced that we did the right move. Compared to the 2002 V8 Explorer we traded-in, we doubled the "in town" fuel mileage and are close to 30 mpg in the right situations "on highway"(steady 70 mph). Quality is better than my friends 05 Maxima which seems to be constantly at the dealer for parts falling off or failing. Cant believe the room and comfort. This is one sedan I can brag about. Nice job, Ford!

  Love my Ford 500 - 2006 Ford Five Hundred
  By VA Guide - October 29 - 5:16 am

  Bought this for commuting and long trips (my other car is a 350Z). Love it! I can hear the stereo and engage in conversations at 70 MPH. Very comfortable on long trips and in traffic. I live in a cabin on the woods so I appreciate the all wheel drive. I actually was deciding between an Infinity M35 AWD and the Ford 500. Couldnt justify the extra 20 grand for the M35.
