| 2005 Ford Five Hundred consumer reviews: | | | | overall rating |   | | value | | | comfort | | | reliability | |
| | The Ford Five Hundred drives and feels like a European car. The interior is roomy, with plenty of looks. The gas mileage is sufficient to keep me satisfied. All in all, great car. | | posted by Dominique on Jun 25 2006 | | |

| | This is a luxury car but not at a luxury price. The car handles well at any speed and during all weather conditions. The car has a smooth ride, is quiet inside, comfortable and gets good gas mileage. Highly recommended. | | posted by Thimble on Jun 26 2007 | | |
