Wish I had 2 of them.

Best car I’ve ever owned hands down. Name another car you can put 40 2x4x8’s in the car and close the trunk. Oh did I mention it also has 278k on it and I drive it from Washington to California monthly? Take care of it and it will take care of you.

Hate when my husband drives it

Had this car for 12 years. Bought used in 2008 after renting one on a trip. Hubby is 6'4, son is 6'6" and plenty of room. Comfortable seating and excellent viewing. I've driven this car in lake effect snow every winter, studded snow tires on for my security, never got stuck. Had a few issues with strut supports on front but I will drive this car as long as I can.

Haven't owned long, but so far it's been good

I purchased this vehicle with 132450 miles on it and have put on about 1000 so far. It's a smooth ride for the age, I can only imagine how mac daddy it was brand new. It's got some cool features, back up sensors, led readouts for mileage remaining, direction heading, oil filter life, miles per gallon statistics and a few others. It has dual a/c control, but that's not really a feature I use. The engine seems to be adequate for accelerating, many say it's under powered, but for normal usage it goes! It's not a city car, as this baby wants to travel! I've noticed that once it gets warmed up, it really shifts smooth, idles well, and rides very nicely! I got her pretty cheap, $4K, so all in all a good ride for the price!

My First Car

I absolutely love this car very reliable. It drove from Indiana to Ft.Hood, TX. Then 2 years later to Ft.Bragg, NC. And everywhere in between. And it's still riding on 202664 miles. So yeah it has done its job very well

170K and still ticking...

We purchased this vehicle used from a dealership, at approximately 30K miles and it had had two previous owners. It has held up extremely well, with no major issues. Rides well, not too loud inside, good balance of power and comfort. I'm 5'10 and I'm comfortable in any of the stations, but the leather seats are a little cold in the winter. Stay on top of your preventative maintenance (like you should with any vehicle) and you'll likely be as satisfied as we are.

best riding car that I ever owned

This is a great Road car. On the interstate, nothing can compare to the ride provided by this car. Room, Comfort, Air Conditioning, quality - all excellent!

Bought this for my Daughter

Very neat car, cavernous interior, but not too big to drive. Love the handling, does what you want it to do, Has AWD so a little slow at the first acceleration, but No problem passing at HWY speeds. Rides so smooth, like a car that cost way more! very handy controls that you don't have to fumble for. Roomy trunk.. Ford was onto something with these! Just had all breaks replaced, and a electric issue with wires at censors near computer. I feel safe with my daughter driving this, and even she thinks it's cool.

I'm 48 and best car I've owned

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.
