Review - 2005 Ford Five Hundred - IntelliChoice
If you're considering one of the Five Hundred models with the CVT, be sure to take a test drive. Although it doesn't require anything special from the driver, the sensation of driving with the CVT is quite different from that of a car with a conventional automatic transmission.

The 2005 Ford Five Hundred (500 for short) is a quantum leap for Ford, with its electronically controlled engine, continuously variable transmission and all-wheel-drive system. Who would guess from the Five Hundred's dull styling?

Ford Five-Hundred Seat Covers
There are certain "high-traffic" areas in your Ford Five Hundred that seem predestined to receive a lot of punishing use. Your carpets are constantly being trampled by dirty shoes, your steering wheel is being throttled non-stop by oily hands and your seats are always besieged by a steady onslaught of abuses. While the only surefire way to safeguard your seats is to stop driving your Ford Five Hundred, that solution just isn't practical. While getting in and out of your Ford Five Hundred may seem like a harmless operation, it is, in fact, putting a lot of stress on your seats. Like sandpaper on a jagged block of wood, the texture of your clothing grates against the texture of the upholstery (leather and cloth alike). This constant friction between your body and your seat steadily grinds away at your upholstery. As time passes, the strength of the leather or fabric starts to wane, and it will eventually start becoming threadbare, torn and split. Sometimes bad things happen to good upholstery. If the interior of your Ford Five Hundred has suffered some cruel twist of fate (a leaky pen left lying in the backseat, or a torn seam that's threatening to unravel completely), you have the ability to rejuvenate your vehicle's seats without having to go through the hassle of a complete reupholster job. Instead of calling up your dealer and shelling out an arm and a leg for new seats, you can simply slide a new set of seat covers directly over the old ones.
