2006 Ford Five Hundred Limited from North America - Comments

Nothing has gone wrong with the car.

I really like this car; it is easy to get in and out of, I like the command seating, I find the engine performance to be more than adequate, great stopping power with the 4 wheel disc brakes and is very comfortable. So far, I have taken this car on two road trips and was pleased with the ride, comfort and mileage. The trunk is very spacious; I have yet to put anything in the back seat because it wouldn't fit in the trunk. The heated seats are a nice touch in cold weather, and the heat and A/C do a great job in keeping me either toasty warm or pleasantly cool with the auto climate control. All the controls/buttons for various things are easy to find and use. I like the memory settings for the driver's seat, outside mirrors and adjustable pedals; with the touch of a button, everything moves to the correct position which makes it very nice when 2 drivers are very different in height. I like the security of the interior and exterior lights coming on when I push the unlock button on the key fob; I never have to approach a dark car at night. There is plenty of leg room in the back seat for even tall passengers; no "knees up under the chin" for anyone in the back seat.

I chose to add a few after market items to my car including a rear spoiler, chrome door handle covers, chrome taillight covers and a chrome trunk trim piece to jazz it up a bit and give it a sportier look.

It's been almost a year now that I've had my Limited; and I still love this car. It's done great with the snow/ice we've had lately with the front wheel drive, and those heated seats are wonderful in cold weather. The car handles well and drives like a dream. Anyone who has ridden in the back seat cannot get over the roominess and comfort; they have been impressed with it.

I took it on vacation that required a 10 hour drive to our destination; I didn't feel sore or tired when we arrived. The seats are very comfortable and offer good support. The optional navigation system is easy to use; it's nice to have when out of town.
