  My 500 - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Kerry Ayers - July 1 - 12:16 am

  As soon as I saw it, I wanted it. This is my first Ford. The interior styling is elegant and functional. The CVT and the 3.0 six have plenty of power for me. I wanted a car with AWD and not an SUV. Compared to the VW, Subaru and Volvo, I got more car for my money. The car is built well, tight and maintenance free. I had no adjustments or complaints at my first service.

  500 is a lot of car for the money - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Jim - May 28 - 6:40 pm

  I just got my 500 and with all rebates it is a lot of car for the money. The size and ride are great and the fuel cost is the best for a large car. So far my 500 has had no problems.

  The Long Haul - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By JIM - April 18 - 9:40 am

  We live part time in Pittsburgh PA and winter in Spring Hill FL. The vehicle has been outstanding in ride and fuel economy; 28-30 on the Interstate. The only fault is too much road noise. We can pack it like a pickup due to the large trunk and the fold down seats. We see many other vehicles advertised but there are too many good points in the 500, especially the ability to have good visibility all around. It is an excellent over the road car. I now have 19,300 miles on it and will be taking a trip to Chicago in August, a round trip to Florida in September and a one way to Florida in November. Our 99 Cadillac will be sitting it out.

  Room to grow - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Family Man - March 28 - 4:56 pm

  Just picked up our 500. My wife and daughter drove it for the first two days, city and some highway. Wife likes the ride and enjoys how high she can sit. The daughter is a teenager; need I say more? I get to drive it to work now, Round trip 80 miles 90% highway with speeds up to 65 mph. I like the ride! My first tank of gas got 25 mpg.

  Best car we have ever owned. - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By The Bunchs - February 20 - 12:46 am

  Our first experience was a trip to Houston, got a rental car,a brand new 2005 Ford 500 which we have never heard of. We drove it over 400 miles in a few days and was very excited about the smoothest of ride and the space we had (a daughter-in-law and her two kids, my wife and I) all fit extremely well in this car. First time we have had that since one of my old 60s or 70s cars. We owned a 2002 Taurus SEL at the time. After we got home and had about a month to think about it, we decided we just had to have that car, so we went to see our friend at the dealership to make us a deal. We wanted exactly the same care we had rented. Extremely pleased.

  Thanks to the NFL Commercials - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Roswell - January 23 - 10:26 pm

  One test drive was all it took. Within a week we found our color and options - and were driving it. We had 3 good snow storms (over 4 inches) - handled & drove as well as our former 02 explorer. The room, ride and comfort feel comparable or exceed my father-in-laws 03 Seville. We have had four adults and a child in a car seat and everyone still had plenty of room. Only "negative" is - be careful with the speed - it likes to go - FAST.

  SEL Ford Five - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
  By Jstevenson - January 2 - 10:00 am

  Every thing on this car works. No flowing or dipping on bumps. Handles like a litetweight 540. The seats are very comfortable, Plenty room in front and back. Drove from richmond Va to Davis wv and push the car very hard and it excel in every area. Handle the mountians with ease. No panic moments. The transmisson is part of the key for this size car. Averaged 25,1 round trip. FORD has really put alot of work in this car. AS soon as the consumer finds out about this product they will sell all they can make. This is the answer to the overseas wheels. This is not a hard core sports sedan but will make a catagory of it own. If it holds up in the months to come ford has a winner.
