2007 Ford Five Hundred SEL review from North America
"Best sedan you can buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
I love this car. The more I drive it the bigger my smile. No one else in the world offers a Cross-over sedan. Feels large, drives solid and looks expensive.
The ideal car to use for business and pleasure.
My Pearl Blue car looks like an expensive German model, but fits americans better, because it is.
The build quality from Chicago is great, not a single build issue - and I love the Continintal tires. I don't know why anyone would be critical of how fast it is, it is fast and cruises great. Whoever wants to drive a big sedan like a sports car simply doesn't know what driving is about. Want speed, buy a Mustang. What the best sedan you can get for the money, buy a 500.
Is it perfect, no, nothing is - but the seating position alone is worth the price.
