2007 Ford Five Hundred consumer reviews

I bought my 2007 Ford 500 Limited FWD in Dec 2016. It had 182K miles on it, but the outside looked great, and the inside was like new. Didn't want to pay $3500 considering the miles, but I was in a jam and I knew it had been taken care of. 2 Years later, and I now have over 218K miles on it, and not a single thing has broken. Not one. The only thing I did was replace the front break rotors because I was getting some vibration on breaking, but it wasn't bad and that is really just normal wear and tear. The only other times it's been to the mechanic has been for oil changes. And because I use synthetic oil I got anywhere from 6,000 - 8,000 between oil changes, and I still haven't had to add a drop of oil. Even with all the miles on it, it doesn't use or burn any oil. Note - the AWD version has an early CVT that had issues. From what I've seen, all the complaints are about that. I have the FWD, and although the downshifts are a bit clunking sometimes, they have been that way since I bought the car and have not gotten any worse at all. My mechanic (a Ford guy) says they are known to make some noise when downshifting sometimes, but that it isn't a sign anything is wrong, and the FWD transmissions do last a long time. Also, I drive probably 80 highway, 20 city, and I get 25-27 mpg. And with a 20 gallon tank, you can drive a legit 500 miles + on a full tank. When (and IF) this car ever dies, I'll buy another, or a 08-09 Taurus, which is essentially the same car but with a more powerful motor and smoother transmission. They also get amazing reviews.

This car is the best however, the parts, and up-keep, are rather expensive. If you take care of this Car it will and does take care of you.

I bought an 07 Ford Five Hundred used 6 yrs ago. it was a stylish car for what it was. It had great safety features, several bells and whistles, but most importantly . . . I parked it with 237K miles on it. incredible car all around.

This is by far the best car I've ever owned. While the exterior styling is on the lackluster side, I still find it somewhat attractive in a subtle, classy way. The leather interior is probably what sold me on this one, I've seen others without and they feel sub-par. Never-the-less, I've owned this car for almost 10 years and the only issue I had was the radio started to fail. It sometimes felt slow on the acceleration, but I didn't mind too much. Definitely couldn't have had a better car on my road trip to TN from IL. Always comfortable, and way more room than you'd think. I've fit an 11 ft ladder inside and closed the trunk! Probably my only other complaint would be the wide turn radius, but it's to be expected from this size of a car. Couldn't recommend it higher.

I just love it. Will try to keep it till I die (I'm 62). MPG of 31, very stable ride, feels tall on the road, great visibility. I can't think of anything I don't like about it. But get black, I think that color looks the best.

This car has plenty of room in both the front and back seat. The trunk is also large which is great for long trips. I love that the rear view mirror dims the bright lights that can be blinding when a car comes behind in the dark with their bright lights on. I also like having the extra compartments for storage. Mostly I like that it runs great, is comfortable, and dependable.

This car was well designed. It has lot of leg room. The interior is very good. It has wooden interior near the dashboard.

Yeah, it's a plain jane boring looking car, but this baby is comfy on long road trips. Huge backseat, largest trunk in any modern day car, lots of cup holders. My biggest gripe is the vents should be bigger to move more air, especially in the back seat, and the transmission is fine but you are unable to downshift going down a steep grade. But this is the ultimate road trip car.

This car has a huge interior and the most comfortable driver seat I have sat in. I average 27 mpg combined. I have over 218000 miles and no indication that anything is going wrong. It's not a rocket but it gets me where I need to go without any struggle. the safety and visibility is great. No major repair expenses so far other than an AC compressor and routine maint.

Had this vehicle for a long time and I got to admit I totally got my money's worth this vehicle is reliable, and surprisingly comfortable on long trips, the suspension is extremely smooth, feels like a lincoln! and it's equipped with a small 3.0L V6 Engine that saves you gas! totally recommend this vehicle!
