2005 Ford Five Hundred

Best car I ever owned

By sriley (MO) on Sunday, March 24, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 75,000

Pros: "Great car, low maintenance, dependable, quality"

Cons: "touchy steering at first until you get used to it"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I purchased my Ford 500 when it was a year old and was one owner prior to me. The car was immaculate! Low mileage and kept perfect. I have now had the car for 5 1/2 years and have no regrets buying this car. The only draw back to it has been the steering is touchy but when you get used to it, it's fine. I love the roominess inside, the amount of trunk space, riding comfort, lack of road sound inside, and most importantly, lack of any major engine or transmission problems. I have only had routine maintenace done on the car and it drives like a top! It has been the most dependable car I have ever owned and wish Ford still made them as I would definitely purchase another."

BEST CAR EVER!

By mas (ME) on Saturday, March 23, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 98,000

Pros: "Comfortable, handling, ride is good,overall 100%"

Cons: "rims"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Love this car! Great traction in the snow, even w/ bad tires. Very sturdy, feel very safe in it. Inside sturdy, even w/ kids. The only negative is the rims. Very good handling around pot holes, bumps, stopping on dry,wet or snow covered roads. I hope this car will last me forever! GREAT GAS MILEAGE! They don't make the Ford Five Hundred anymore it went back to being the new Tauras. Very nice. And we have ALWAYS BEEN CHEVY people!! Price was right for quality."

"125000 miles. 2007 Limited. 23mpg overall. A/C and CD player problems. Somewhat noisy on the highway. Great handling car for it's size. It is huge inside and has a huge trunk. I got it with 70000 miles and have had it for 4 years. Overall, I got a great deal on it and has been pretty reliable so far. I figure 200,000 miles easily."

Love the Car

By Rounder (IL) on Monday, February 04, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 128,000

Pros: "Leg room, Trunk space, highway mpg."

Cons: "Low engine power."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"I bought the car new and now have 128,000 miles on it. We looked for front and rear seat leg room as well as a large trunk. We got both in our Ford Five Hundred plus, with the engine/transmission combination, we get 28 to 32 mpg on the highway driving the speed limit. We've had no unexpected maintenance problems except for a recent minor leak of coolant. The interior with leather seats still looks new. I would recommend thie car to anyone. Too bad they were discontinued.....morphed into the Ford Taurus."

"Good car when I bought it, didn't expect some things to happen to it. Currently sitting in my driveway unable to start. That's what you get for over a 100k. I loved the car and I enjoy driving it and it's looks are pretty nice. Looking for something that I wont have to fix or put money into all the time."

"purchased this used in 2010 with 39999 miles on it. It has been the most dependable vehicle I've purchased and to top it off, on trips your fuel mileage will get in the high 20s ! only one set back with the wiring harness behind dash cluster. malfunction harness caused back up light, dash tach, speedo and a/c to quit working. expect that to happen, otherwise, fantastic car.!"
