Great car for the money (AWD)

Just purchased the car but am very impressed. Didn't think I'd ever say this but I really do like to drive in the rain and can't wait for the snow. My Five Hundred has AWD and traction control (Limited Series) with all of the bells.

Love this car. I have had it since new and have 92000 miles on it. I have driven this car 11 hours in one day and never get stiff or cramped like other cars I have owned. Gas mileage is great at 24 mpg love the leather and sunroof. The traction control was worth every cent of the upgrade price. Have never had a problem in snow. I will say its a typical ford as far as brakes go, I am on my 3rd set along with 3rd set of tires. But even after 92,000 mile the car is as steady on the road as the day I picked it up from the dealer. Wish they didn't rename it to Taurus I think the car would have done better as a 500.

I bought this car from a local dealer that I have used in the past with no issues , I saw it on their website , But when I went to look at it it was having some body work done to it due to some scratches and dings , went back and talked to the sales guy , Who I bought 3 cars from and he had 2 other people interested in looking at it . So I put a down payment and bought it without even a test drive . My sales guy promised me I would love it . Finally got back to the dealer and I went an drove it . I absolutely loved it . Drives awesome , Looks great (with the new Paint Job) its 2019 and the Car is 2006 with 100k miles and it drives like a brand new car .. wish it had 2019 tech , but it does what I need it to do .. Heated seats , Sunroof/Moon roof . I drove an SUV prior to this , but this don't feel like your sitting on the floor ..

I am a life long Crown Vic owner. I rented a 500 for a trip up the west coast. I was hooked and bought one the next week. I drive this car over 1000 miles a week and I have had no issues with it. I feel very safe when driving. I like the visibility and high seating (6'3") - As a replacement for all you Crown Vic owners - Give it a test drive. I'm glad I did.

My 2006 Ford Five Hundred with the CVT

I love my car, I bought the SEL, it had the throttle body problem when I purchased it but didn't know what was the problem, brand new off the lot, and it too a long time for that to be recalled, in the mean time I had the TB "cleaned" twice then when the recall finally came they had to completely replace it and it was a bad situation really and very dangerous to drive. The CVT transmission has been great I love it! I have had no problems at all. The air conditioner stopped working properly after 4 years, had to start adding freon within a couple of years, and now we had to put stop leak in it. I hope that works. It is a comfortable car, I paid too much for it without many bells and whistles, but I still love the car. Only other problem I had to replace the alternator and battery. I then bought a 2007 Limited Ford Five Hundred 2 years ago. Great car, but seems to be a heavy car and more of a crusing car. I drive 100 miles a day to work. My black car sits until I can make sure the air works and purchase new tires. A deer hit me 2 months ago and put dents in the car really bad and since it has so many miles I am not repairing it. The 2006 has 238,000 miles on it, and I hope it runs another 100,000 at least! I love that car. But the 2007 Limited is not the car I thought it would be but it is still reliable and I still like it. I would love to have another brand new Ford Five Hundred like my 2006 model!
