2007 | 4dr Sedan 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 CVT AWD |
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.) see full Ford Five Hundred review |

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. see full Ford Five Hundred review |

2007 | 4dr Sedan 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD |
Big one - the inability to manual downshift the 6 speed transmission out of 4/5/6th gears and having to use excessive braking on mountain roads. The one downshift is basically useless even when driving in wintery conditions to slow down for a stop. see full Ford Five Hundred review |

lack of pick-up, shifting not smooth under some conditions see full Ford Five Hundred review |

Could use some more refinement and power. I think the 2008-2009 has been fixed with the 3.5L engine. see full Ford Five Hundred review |
