2006 Ford Five Hundred Preview summaryImage

The 2006 Ford Five Hundred is the second year of Ford's replacement for its Taurus. Intended to complete with the Chevy Impala, Toyota Camry (though some say the Avalon), and Honda Accord, the 500 is very spacious and has Volvo-inspired lines on its exterior. (Being compared to a Volvo is now a good thing, unlike in the 80s... =D)

Gas economy is good, and the price is right; Ford is striving to have the lowest-priced larger sedan. Estimates for this vehicle range from $22,500 to just under $29,000. The standard engine is a 3.0-liter 4V V6 Duratec, achieving 203 horsepower at 5750 rpm.

Features were great! My wife had a 05 se Ford 500, she was T-boned in a intersection. The car was totaled. Insurance valued it at $900.00 it had 64.000 miles it was a very good car, my point to this cars that I’ve been looking at have been majorly over priced and I’m not willing to give that kind of money for a car that should be half the price of what value they have on them! Thanks!Sep 30, 2021

This Ford 500 replaces the one I had and very much enjoyed. It has all the bells and whistles mine had. Much bigger inside that the Fussion I had. Apr 22, 2021
