The Ford 500 is considered a car intended to replace the Taurus by some people and the Taurus was one of Fords best selling cars. That means when they designed the 500 it had to live up to the expectations, and I believe they knocked it out of the park. I always liked the smooth ride of sedans but the Ford 500 sealed the deal for me. The all around versatile functionality of the four door 500 is only matched by the power under the hood and the space in the trunk. The interior of the Ford 500 is pleasantly classic with chrome trimmed parts and all of the options conveniently located in easy to reach places. The visibility versus privacy factor of the window is just right as it allows for a good view without sacrificing too much privacy towards the interior. The car also never gave me any major issues as I always kept up on maintenance and oil changes. The stereo was one of my favorite parts of the car since I could turn it up without distortion. I am not technically inclined enough to tell you what brand they are but the sound quality is phenomenal.

This has been a good car for my family since we do not put a significant amount of miles on it every year. It has proven to be a safe vehicle to transport my toddler son around town in since his birth. It has needed some repairs and replacements due to normal wear and tear and the fact that it is an older vehicle at this point. One thing I have not liked is the need to replace outside trim on one side of the car's exterior and also the need to repair the sun roof. I feel like those things should have held up a bit better, but we do live in an area where we have winter snow, and it is parked outside. Overall, the quality of the car is good, and it has performed well for the most part.
