Since I have owned my Ford 500, I have had no problems with the car other than regular service from the dealership such as oil changes, brake changes etc.

General Comments:

This car has been great ever since I have owned it. I have always been wanting a Ford 500, and feel that it's very under-rated. It's not a sports car (of course), but the engine power will get the car moving pretty fast. I have never had problems merging onto a freeway or changing lanes. When you hammer the gas down, the transmission smoothly and quickly "kicks down" as the tach. begins to enter the 5000 rpm and over area.

Safety means a lot to me when I think about a car. The 500 has several STANDARD safety AND security features. My particular 500 has the optional traction control system, which works VERY well in the snow and rain. Along with the ABS system (anti-locking brake system), which is standard. It helps a great deal (and is VERY responsive) in the winter time when the roads are slick, and I have to slam on the brakes and turn to avoid an accident.

I also have the safety and security package, which includes the 6 airbags and perimeter anti-theft system (factory alarm), which gives me extra peace of mind when I'm driving (airbags), and when I leave my car unattended like in a parking garage (alarm system).

The factory alarm system is VERY loud if anyone has ever (on a nice summer day) left the windows rolled down and locked the car via remote, and upon returning, reached into the car and opened/unlocked the door (rather than pressing unlock on the remote first); I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

It is a BIG car, but it looks nice on the outside. The grille and headlights, as well as tail lamps and trunk lid, flow together very well. I think the 500 is a beautiful car, and I'm younger than 25 for those of you who think it's an old folks sedan; I disagree.

LOVE IT... thanks Ford! ;-)

Well the dealership didn't maintain the vehicle or do a complete check of the car before being sold.

The headlight went out, took it for service, then the brake light went out, took it for the service and the same headlight went out again. I live in the Pocono's, so this winter will be the true test of this vehicle.

So far I'm not to crazy about the gas. I use to do NY to PA on a 1/4 tank in my suburban. The Five Hundred has used a less than half a tank.

As I said, I haven't given it a real run as of yet, but I'm planning a trip to MD next week. I will update you all then.

Nothing other than routine maintenance.

General Comments:

Very nice large car. Drives smooth and is a pleasure to drive.

Faults:

This car is extremely bad one on gas. Honest to God it's awful, I don't drive it because the gas is so bad. To show you how bad this car is on gas, I am thinking about suing them when I get my tax return. I am keeping record.

For Media/Press: Contact me to drive it lixdaniyolix@gmail.com

This car should be recalled.
