Ford Five Hundred
Ford Five Hundred (or Taurus) – This is one of the great unappreciated sedans of the 21st century. In spite of what you might have read at the time, it’s 200-hp, V-6 provides more than adequate power. The trunk is spacious, the interior is comfortable, and it’s a comfortable car to enter and exit. What makes this a great family sedan is its all-wheel drive availability for families in snowy climates.
In 2008, the Five Hundred became the Taurus in what was basically a renaming. The Taurus we are familiar with now has nothing to do with the Five Hundred. Look for great reliability from 2005 through 2008 for this Ford. A fully loaded 2007 model should sell for less than $15,000.
