The 2005 Ford Five Hundred is a large sedan from its first generation. Its only engine option is a 3.0-liter Duratec V6 that produces 203 horsepower, paired with either a six-speed automatic or a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). It's available in three trims, the SE, SEL, and Limited. Notably, it offers both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, a rare configuration for its class. Convenience features include a keyless entry keypad and 60/40 split-fold rear seats. Safety is a focus with standard features such as anti-lock brakes, side-curtain airbags, and available traction control. Though there's no infotainment screen, it has an AM/FM stereo with CD player and MP3 capability. One key disadvantage is its lackluster fuel economy, rated at 21/29 MPG city/highway for the FWD model.
