Best Reason to Buy the Ford Five Hundred: Handling
For a large car, the Five Hundred handles very well. High speed cornering is the best attribute. The steering is nicely weighted and has decent feedback. Despite the good handling, it has a very smooth ride.

Other Reasons to Buy the Ford Five Hundred: Reliability & durability

Best Reason to Buy the Ford Five Hundred: Exterior styling
Conservative yet does not blend in with the crowd.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Ford Five Hundred: Powertrain performance
Could use some more refinement and power. I think the 2008-2009 has been fixed with the 3.5L engine.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Ford Five Hundred: Ride smoothness
I felt the ride was a little harsh for a full sized sedan. I had to replace the Contis at 22K with BS and the ride improved to an acceptable level. It is still a little rough on bumpy road, but I guess that is the Euro influence.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Ford Five Hundred: Exterior styling
Not really an appealing or unapealing car. It makes a great car for us on a logical standpoint as it gets great fuel economy, has lots of room, is easy to get in and out of and performs adequitely, it generates no emotion.

Best Reason to Buy the Ford Five Hundred: Powertrain performance
Liked the CVT transpmission option. It is extremely smooth and has adequate acceleration for a large car. Some might argue that, but then again, I have no traffic tickets as a result.

Best Reason to Buy the Ford Five Hundred: Powertrain performance
It incorporates the Haldex AWD system used on the Volvo S80. The CVT transmission is extremely smooth and mated with the 200plus horsepower provides acceleration of 0-60mph in about 8 seconds. (actual self test, it has improved since new. was 8.9 sec.)

Best Reason Not to Buy the Ford Five Hundred: Exterior styling
It looks like a older generations car. Its not that exciting.
