2005 Ford Five Hundred review from North America
"Do not like the sound of the engine and would trade it in today"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed new starter at 200 miles.
General comments?
Got great gas mileage when new. Now down 5 mpg in city and highway with same driving habits.
Engine sounds like it is running on 4, not 6, cylinders.
Comfortable ride and roomy trunk and plenty of room for passengers in back.
