I'm 16 (almost 17). I'm interested in getting a 2005-07 Ford Five-Hundred Limited AWD. I've found them with relatively low miles for a good price. I want to spend $3,000-$5,000. I know they're reliable. It shares the same engine and drivetrain as the Escape. Would it be a good first car? Also, does the front passenger's seat fold down?
Added (1). Would it be good on a 1,200 (600 miles each way) mile road trip? My family might be moving and I want to come back and see some of my other family members. Like my aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandprents.
Added (2). I consider 12 mpg around town to be pretty good.
Added (3). It's the same thing as the Escape. Just a different body.
