Here’s a four-door that all ages can appreciate as a lively and relevant car. The Ford Five Hundred is big on being big. Its trunk reveals a whopping 21.2 cubic feet of space. Everyone will appreciate the views looking outside the car as occupants sit about four inches higher than in a typical midsize sedan. In the Limited and SEL editions of the Five Hundred, the rear and front passenger seats fold flat. The steel unibody constructed sedan debuted in the 2005 model year, so there are minimal changes for 2006. One of the more noteworthy additions is the availability of a navigation system on the Five Hundred Limited. The Limited’s standard fare includes 18-inch aluminum wheels, chrome side mirrors, analog clock, and heated leather front seats. Five Hundred is powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine that produces 203 horsepower at 5750 rpm and 207 pounds-feet of torque at 4500 rpm. The engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Safety attributes are not ignored on this sedan, which has a steering column that collapses in accordance with the driver’s size and seatbelt usage. The Five Hundred also sports a crossbeam (under the front seats) that runs between the B pillars and serves to direct crash energy to a failure point under the center console. Another neat aspect of the Five Hundred is the option of buying the sedan equipped with all-wheel-drive. The front wheel drive Five Hundred Limited – with an MSRP of $26,380 – collects per gallon mileage counts of 21 city/29 highway.
