2005 Ford Five Hundred Limited review from North America
"Excellent value for a large sedan with a solid feel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. One recall to replace gasoline tank holding straps. Completed by dealer with no problems.
General comments?
Excellent value for a large sedan. Solid feel and smooth ride with tight steering.
Tremendous space in the trunk and back seat. Excellent visibility out of the car, superior to most other cars in it's class. Underpinnings are from the Volvo S80 sedan and you can tell by the solid feel of the car.
Not a barn burner off the line, but more than adequate acceleration-coupled with well above average gas mileage.
