One look is all it took. - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
By Tonia - February 17 - 2:46 amI dont usually buy American cars because I felt the quality and the design of them was not that great. The Ford 500 hundred looked different from all the others. So I took it for a test drive. It drove great. It felt like I had more control of a car then every before due to the driver seat. For the first time ever, the thought of buying a foreign car was completely out of my mind. So I bought the Ford 500 hundred. p.s. I have never before been stopped by so many people inquiring about my new car. The car is a great ego buster. :)

Comfortable Ride, Easy Handling - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
By Diane Fetzner - January 6 - 11:03 pmAt first I was skeptical about the Ford Five Hundred since I was giving up a 2000 Eldorado. To my pleasant surprise I found the interior to be quite large, comfortable, and roomy. The back seat has more than enough room for a large or tall person, and the trunk is very spacious. The handling of the car impressed me. I particularly like the non-shift transmission and the quiet ride. My favorite feature is the reverse sensor. I highly recommend buying this car. P.S. Theres plenty of room for my large German Shepherd.

Perfect for me - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
By jake121015 - December 24 - 9:23 amThis vehicle is the perfect vehicle for me. Safety, functionality, stylish, and made in America. I was getting ready to buy either a Accord or Camry when I saw an advertisement for the new Five Hundred. This was the car that I REALLY wanted. The build quality on this car is excellent. I have had no problems nor have I found any quirks that I didnt pick up on during the test drive. I generally drive alone but on the weekends its large enough for my young family of five. I am just waiting for this winter to get a feel for the AWD portion. Why anyone would complain about a lack of power is beyond me, it has more than enough power even for my heavy foot when Im late for work in the morning.

we love this car - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
By Bud - December 15 - 9:23 amOur first trip was 350 miles and gas mileage was 25.5 city and highway. Ride is great, and we both love the memory seats and setting up high. This car has all the bells and whistles of a more expensive car. We came out of a 2003 Crown Vic, and we would never go back. I love the handling and ride. My first V6, and it has all the power we need.

Great Replacement - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
By Amy W - November 12 - 7:56 amI bought his car to replace my 01 Mercury Sable LS Premium and have not been let down yet. It is far roomier and the trunk space is amazing! I have a 2 year old and can easily fit 2 strollers, high chair and our bags in the trunk when we visit my parents. It has all the amenities the Sable had, plus a few extras such as the in-dash CD changer, dual climate control and heated seats (just to name a few). This is a great family car and I would eagerly recommend one to anybody who asked.

Surprise Choice - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
By Gross Family - October 5 - 3:06 amMy husband and I were in the market for 2 new vehicles. He purchased his 2nd Explorer. I really had my heart set on a Chrysler 300. However being a "Ford Family," I had the salesman write up another Ford vehicle for myself. Just before signing the papers, I thought I would walk through the car lot one last time to be sure. As I walked out the door my eyes glanced at a car that I had not seen previously. It was the Ford 500. I had never heard of a Ford 500. Immediately I rushed into the sales office and insisted that I test drive the car. I was hooked! Great car! It was extremely important that I get a car large enough for my 14 year old son who is 6 foot 2 to ride in comfortably.

Great Car! - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
By A. Withers - September 25 - 8:13 amI am a salesperson and at my last client lunch a comment was made - "wow, I thought your car was one of those $80K German imports!" That made me proud of my new purchase. The car looks great, drives well and gets much better gas mileage than my family van. Another comment from a friend was wow, that car has a nice engine!

Seems like a good car - 2005 Ford Five Hundred
By SteveS - September 22 - 12:23 amTraded a Honda Odyssey in for the 500, got all the bells and whistles. Thus far this seems to be a good vehicle; owned Toyota Avalon back in 2000 with their new body style. This car is a better riding more enjoyable car than the Toyota was for me. Gas mileage has been running around 25-26 mpg city and highway; seating is excellent. Just a overall good riding, driving, vehicle ... hope it holds up.
