2006 Ford Five Hundred Limited review from North America
"This car did it right"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Problems with the CD Player at about 13,000 miles (although its only been used maybe three times)
General comments?
The car seriously handles well. I have the AWD (CVT Tranny) and it hugs curves and drives like its on rails. Absolutely a pleasure to drive.
The power is not the greatest I've seen in a car, but it is good. A lot better than the Buick LeSabre I owned before!
Absolutely comfortable and luxurious for an insanely cheap price. My Five Hundred came fully loaded, AWD, mooonroof, optional safety package, rear back up sensors all for $26K. Not to mention the driver/passenger heated seats, dual climate control, sexy pebble leather interior, HUGE trunk, back seat, command seating, power everything, gah... I can't say enough about this car!
I commute 60 miles a day and have put 14,000 trouble-free, happy miles on this baby. She's a dream to drive and never makes a sound out of place. I'd recommend her to anyone!
