Smooth drive, outstanding visibility, lots of room, quiet. Critics say the design is poor. I don't agree with them. The design is very attractive. Hopefully Ford is not listening to the critics. I think Ford hit a grand slam with the 500!

You know, I really don't know why Ford is not letting the public know about this car. Granted it is not the flashiest on the road, but it does have very good sensible good looks. The real story is that the fuel economy along with the size of the interior is incredible! You have to drive it to appreciate how the six speed auto transmission gets all the power you need from the 3.0 engine. The interior is really well appointed too. I love the wood grain and leather seats, sun roof, the whole package. I haven't been this happy with a car for years! Ford should be screaming the 500's praises from the rooftops.

Rear End Scrapes!

The 500 is a disaster for Ford. The rear end on my car even when unloaded, scrapes pavement on every speed bump and rain gutter road indentation. I am always wary of high centering this car. The huge trunk is oversized at the expense of basic sound engineering. This is very disappointing!

Ford 500 SEL

I did a week's worth of research on the internet. I then test drove a Buick, Pontiac, Saturn and Chrysler. The Ford 500 SEL by far gave us more for our money.
