What's New for the 2006 Ford Five Hundred?
After debuting last year, the 2006 Ford Five Hundred sees few changes. Leather upholstery is now available on the base SE model, while the SEL and Limited versions can be outfitted with a Family Entertainment System including a rear seat DVD player. A navigation system is also optional, but only on the top Limited trim level. Silver Birch is the single new color for 2006.
Advantages of the 2006 Ford Five Hundred:
- Nicely appointed interior
- Available all-wheel-drive
- Standard CVT in AWD model
- Contemporary good looks
- Side curtain airbags for both rows of seats
Objections to the 2006 Ford Five Hundred: - Weak 200-horse V6 engine
- No stability control system offered
Editor's Advice:
The Ford Five Hundred features a stylish exterior and contemporary interior, combined with an available all-wheel-drive system and a full roster of safety equipment, making it just what most people want most of the time. Additionally, the Ford Five Hundred is endowed with class-leading interior room and a gigantic trunk. However, with the most opulent versions weighing in at nearly two tons, the rather small but fuel-efficient 3.0-liter V6 is rather overmatched, so if class-leading acceleration is what you seek, look elsewhere.
