Old true FORD. FOUND ON RD DEAD

Drives like a land yacht. Hard to stay awake, so comfy. All the bells and whistles. Rides like you are on a air cushion. Felt like my 1970's caddys. But way to undeniable the most unreliable car i ever owned , for 3 months.

Not my style but an excellent car of value

Plenty of room, front and rear. AWD is an added bonus for snow driving and less than sticky situations. The suspension is likened to driving a comfort car of a much higher class and travelling was made effortless.

Great Car with lots of room

My Ford 500 is a great vehicle. Lots of room in the truck and plenty of passenger room, even in the back. Very reliable and had no major repairs done.

Most reliable car I owned!

I bought it brand new in 05 and it had over 250,000 when I retired it with no major repair needs in 14 years. One of the best cars I ever owned.

Most reliable car I have owned.

I purchased the Ford Five Hundred in 2013 and have had it ever since. It is a very reliable car and have not had any major problems with it. I love the cabin space, leather heated seats, and the sun roof. It is a very comfortable ride with user friendly features. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone who likes a lot of space.

Great car, very solid

This car is worth every penny! I bought it with 96,xxx and now have 187,xxx. we took it on a trip from Maryland to Michigan and got 515 miles on ONE tank of gas! My 3 kids can fit in the back seat with no problems. Trunk is VERY large. Its looks may not be a show stopper but i still love to drive it.

Have a little problems but nothing major.

I love the car, it has minor problems. Talking to the dealer about getting that fix. But overall it's still a nice car. Drives nice, looks nice, I have the lady's out there calling me handsome. Had to place my girl panties in the rearview so they won't think it's my mama car.

122,000 miles and still runs great

Bought it new. I have the AWD with CVT. I used to drive it into the mountains of Colorado in the winter, no problems. On a cross country trip, blew away the estimated MPG of 26, got 29.7 for the whole trip.

Perfect replacement

This is exactly what I was looking for to replace my 2006 Five Hundred Ltd which has 198,000 miles on it. Most comfortable car I ever owned - lots of leg room, superb seats, responsive handling, good vision.
