I never drove the 500/Milan in all of my rentals but wanted to to see what Ford was like with their latest offerings.
Actually it's not that bad. Mine came with leather seats and premium sound. It's pretty quick off the line for the kind of car it is and I have to admit, it's not as bad as I expected. The one thing I hate about it is....tourque steer do to it being FWD. Other than that not a bad ride.
