2007 Ford Five Hundred

The Five Hundred debuted for 2005, a large sedan meant to replace both the long-running Crown Victoria and the mid-sized Taurus. (The Mercury version was the Montego). The Five Hundred emphasized comfort and good ergonomics. An elevated seating position made for good outward vision and cabin access and the rear seat is very spacious. Power comes from an underpowered and unpolished 3.0-liter V6 engine mated to either a six-speed automatic on FWD models or a continuously variable transmission on AWD models. The Five Hundred has a comfortable ride and handles with commendable agility considering its size. 2008 brought a new name, Taurus, and a smoother, more powerful 3.5-liter V6.

About Ford

Among Ford’s SUVs and pickups, the smallest options usually earn our highest ratings. Consumer Reports has recommended the Mustang Mach-E EV, the thrilling Mustang coupe and convertible, and the Maverick, a small pickup truck available with a hybrid powertrain. Most other vehicles, however, score low in our road tests and have average to below average reliability. With some exceptions, used Fords can be a risk. The Ford F-150 pickup combines true truck capabilities with quiet, roomy cabins, making it one of the best-selling vehicles in the U.S. However, our tests found that recent F-150s have a stiff ride, unresponsive handling, and below average reliability. The Lightning, an EV version of the F-150, drives better and is faster than its gasoline equivalent. The Bronco SUVs has exceptional off-road ability and classic boxy styling, but suffers from issues like wind noise and long stopping distances.
