2005 Ford Five Hundred SEL review from North America
"A great car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing has gone wrong with the car, I live on a dirt road, and the only thing was the A/C drain got clogged with mud. The Dealership paid for all the repairs, even though the car had no warranty.
General comments?
It's pleasure to drive. The gas mileage is outstanding! Took a trip shortly after I got the car, and drove 230 miles each way and filled up only twice, spent $90 on gas only, a lot less than what I was expecting to pay. The $16,000 I paid was worth it. The CVT 6 speed Auto Transmission is amazing. The pickup on this car is unreal. I love this car!!
