Ford 500 only has 203 poniesAnd here's where things start to go awry. That "big problem" we mentioned earlier is an underpowered and unrefined engine. Rather than offer an engine, or choice of engines, that complements the Five Hundred's high points, Ford saddled the Five Hundred with the old 3.0-liter V6 from the Taurus — it's as if the company ran out of money 7/8th through the project. It wouldn't be so bad if buyers had the option of upgrading to something better, but as it stands the Five Hundred is offered only with the V6, and one making all of 203 horsepower at that.No matter how you slice it, the Ford Five Hundred is underpowered. A quick survey of current V6-powered midsize sedans reveals that the Five Hundred's engine is a serious Achilles ' heel. The Nissan Maxima has 265 hp, the Chrysler 300 Touring 250 hp, the Honda Accord V6 240 hp and Mitsubishi Galant V6 230 hp. Only the back marker Chevy Impala has fewer ponies, but even on a good day that would be a straw man comparison. Want more on the new Ford 500? |
