2005 Ford Five Hundred SE review from North America
"Love the car so far"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major. A bit of hesitation intermittently on takeoff. Stay tuned, I'll give regular updates.
General comments?
The cabin is very comfortable. I love the height of the seats.
The mileage is not what was advertised, I get about 18 miles a gallon in mixed driving, but it's still being broken in. I've heard it may improve. Check for updates.
We drove the Crown Victoria and liked the 500 much better because of the size and sportiness, and seat height of the 500.
