It is a comfortable, smooth-riding vehicle that has plenty of trunk space.
I absolutely love my Ford Taurus. It is incredibly comfortable and easy to drive. The trunk is huge, and it is perfect for big grocery trips. My car is a little bit older so I do not have an Audio jack which is unfortunate, but I make do with the radio and CDs. It rides very well, especially with new tires. The only problem I have ever had with it was the heat/air conditioning acting up. One of the hoses needs to be cleaned about every six months because it gets clogged. As long as that is done, I do not have a problem with the heat or the air conditioning. The interior of the car is cloth, which I find nice. It does not get hot when the sun is on it, which makes driving it during the summer so easy. The steering wheel and shifter does get very hot, so I bought a steering wheel cover and that alleviates the problem with the steering wheel. There is not really a solution for the shifter, but I do not usually have my hands on it long enough for it to bother me.

Just a simple car for a simple girl.
I do not judge based on certain brands. I have had recent issues with replacing the alternator but it has a lot of miles and drives well. It is very good as far as gas mileage goes. I drive between 3 towns on a daily basis and do not have issues. Mine is standard with no CD player or sunroof.

Highly recommend the Ford Taurus
My vehicle has 93,000 miles on it. I've only had to do the regular maintenance on it. I would highly recommend the Taurus

This car has a lot of mechanical issues and a lot of miles on it.
My car is a 2003 Ford Taurus SE and has over 280,000 miles on it and I have been pouring lots and lots of money into car repairs since I bought the car a little over a year ago
Alice B
on March 26, 2021
Runs well and does not require a lot of service.
Like: it has more power than any other car I have owned; a sunroof, wing on the back; it is black and I feel cool driving it!.. Dislike: it has electrical issues, sometimes windows go up and sometimes they do not; sometimes the locks work and sometimes they do not; and atrocious gas mileage..
Kate S
on March 13, 2021
It is cheap and holds up well.
The paint is peeling probably because of the Texas sun and its age. For how old it is it is held up remarkably well. But it is getting squeaky and is starting to have problems starting, which I do not think are battery related. It is at 144k miles and I am hoping it'll last to 150k before I start looking for a new one.

Ford Taurus (2003) very dependable vehicle for a daily driver.
Dependable car that gets from point A to point B with no problems, will take on many miles without issues and is good on gas, may not look the best but drives good.
penelope t

It is big and makes me feel safe driving it
I like that it is a station wagon so i have plenty of room. It isn't too bad on gas. I have no complaints about it.

Ford takes work. A lot of work
The ford Taurus runs really hot so it uses lots of oil and antifreeze. It doesn't overheat but it does chug gas like a truck. It has motor problems and doesn't want to run right all the time. Shifting gears it has trouble. It takes a lot of upkeep to keep this car running.

2003 Ford Taurus, my everyday driver until the transmission failed.
I traded a 98 Dakota to my son in law for this 2003 Ford Taurus in 2015. I liked this car very much. It gets decent gas mileage in town, about 17-20 mpg. The driver's seat electronically adjusts so I can get comfortable. The thing about this car is it is popular for the transmission to mess up around 80,000 miles, and mine did at 83,000 miles. I have not yet been able to afford to get it fixed. I do believe that it is definitely worth repairing. It has been a good car.

People have been known to say that fords are found on road dead, for a reason.
Vacuum line problems. Severe rust on the bottom parts of the front 2 doors, so bad to the point that one side completely fell off one the passengers side. We have had severe brake and rotor problems to the point where they have broken apart in our wheel well. Oil has also made its way into the vacuum lines. We are not sure how and how messed up the car is. It will not hold an idle.
Mary M
on February 28, 2021
It seems it's dependable and will last a good while.
I like it's comfort, the smoothness of the ride, mileage seems to be fine . Had to replace the fuel pump twice and it could get better mileage.
Jessica B
on February 26, 2021
My ford Taurus is a very smooth driving car.
A problem that I have run into is needing to have the tires aligned. Once I start driving 70 mph the steering wheel starts to shake. It is a very reliable car. It is very comfortable. I like the carpeted seats. I love that there is enough room for six people in my car, with the extra seat in the front.
ClAudia M
on February 26, 2021
Best reliable car I have ever own.
I have own this taros for 14 years and have had only minor problem mostly from wear and tear. I have own other tauruses and also was as pleased with them. However, you must replace the started with makers model or you will be replacing them often. If you live in northern states a garage is nice as after 12 year in the winter weather I lost a chunk of running board.
Mary Beth L
on February 25, 2021
It drives well and has aged well. One of it is best features is the paint.
The problems I have had with my Taurus are: ac and a squeal in the engine that we cannot trace or fix. The performance is fair for a car that old. It starts every day is very comfortable to drive and the moon roof is my favorite feature. I would definitely buy another Taurus. Its aged but reliable.
Marianne W
on February 24, 2021
I do like my little spoiler.
My Taurus is not my most favorite car that I have ever owned. It has had brake issues, and it takes very wide turns. Doesn't feel like I am driving a little car. I do like how comfortable it is for long drives though, but the Taurus does not have very good gas mileage.

Great car for a person going to and from work with not a lot of traveling involved. Pretty decent gas mileage
Ford taurus is dependable car. I do like the look but to me there is not enough room in the front seats. The car ride not bad but very bumpy at times. The trunk is an odd shape and hard to get things long in there like my skis. Gas mileage is not bad. Overall not a bad car just not what I need at my age.
Marge H

I love the car cause I felt comfortable in it at one point.
Well my car has a computer problem which makes it constantly accelerating and using gas. And the a.c. Doesn't work. The motor in the driver seat has decided not to work anymore. I have to use a pillow to drive

My car is in great mechanical shape.
My ford Taurus has been very reliable. It is 16 years old and in the 5 years I have owned it I may have spent 600.00 in repairs. Please keep in mind I didn't have to spend anything until recently and at this time it has over 180000 miles on it. My car is from mi. So it has quite a bit of rust. I will have to replace it due to the rust before I will for mechanical reasons.
Linda K

2003 ford Taurus now in 2019.
The car was purchased used in great condition. Originally it rode well, very comfortable seating, didn't need a lot of work. It is also great on gas. Now it has electrical issues causing the windows to not work. Sensors wrongly going off. The air conditioning also frequently stops working making it uncomfortable in hot weather.

Dependable, good truck. Good for 1-2 people only.
It is very powerful and easy to dive.. However, I do not like a color. It is also little bit longer for me to drive..
Samantha C
on January 20, 2021
Great car, any negatives are because of age. Very durable and great gas mileage.
I really like this car. It has great gas mileage, but it takes about $38 to fill the whole tank. Breaks are not touchy at all. Perfect for new teenage drivers. Runs nice and smoothly. Very spacious trunk. Headlights are manual like most cars this age. I have had one time where it didn't start, so it had to be towed. A few times where I had to take it into the shop because some of the lights came on.

Tale of the Taurus Transmission
The car itself is great, but it has a bad habit of when one thing goes wrong, it starts a snowball effect. The main problem that I have had with my car is transmission related and when I look online to see what other problems people have with my same model, 80% of them are transmission related as well. Brakes are a close second. I have only owned this car for a little less than a year now, and I already am planning and budgeting to replace it in the next 1-2. I simply do no get the feeling this car will last very long.
Dina M

I'm not really sure, it's a great car.

Ford Taurus: reliable with some minor issues.
Body does not hold up, engine problems, and easily rusting. Seats are very comfortable, however. I have gone 145,000 and it is still working fine for me. A few years ago I had an issue when my heater stopped working, but haven't had an issue since it was fixed the one time. Larger trunk and inside compared to the Chevy sonic.

It gets be to where I need to be.
I like that it is a standard car that is good on gas and gets me to where I need to be. I also like the interior design of the seating. I dislike the age of the car, and the lack of AUX cord.
Marlene M

Ford limits where you can get repair work done on their vehicles.
I like that it has a v6 engine. I like the automatic windows and nice interior. I dislike that whenever I need a repair that is significant Ford makes it hard for a person to go to your favorite mechanic, that you are forced to go to a Ford dealership.
ilmi L

It's a relatively reliable car for my family.
It's been serving my family very well for the past 5 years. It has good gas mileage. It has a large trunk. The backseat can be folded. Spacious leg room. It's old car and the AC doesn't really work well.
Kim R

It is paid for & does the job!!! What car I drive is not the most important thing in my life right now
It gets me where I need to go. It doesn't look that great but gets by. For the age of the car, I really don't have many problems with it like you would think. It is good on gas & has good "get up & go"

That I maintain it well with regular maintenance and it's dependable
I like that my car is in very good condition for a car that's 15 years old. The inside is almost like new. It gets me where I need to go, including out of town trips. My main dislike is it has a little paint corrosion from the high Louisiana heat.
Abby G

My vehicle is white four-door, roomy, comfortable, can be used as a family care.
My Ford Taurus is fast, comfortable, four-door, seats fold down to give you a big space to fit things in. It can hook up to Bluetooth. One downside is that it does not have a really great radio in it. Some of the features are not really up to date but they work perfectly fine.
Rod E
on December 14, 2020
My car and what it means to my life.
Very comfortable. Needs better gas mileage, which might be due to the miles on the car. It is dark red in color which is nice. Stereo system is very good for that car which is very quiet to the road noise. It has basically been very reliable so far with some small problems that really are not due to the car itself but me.
Kevin H
on December 13, 2020
It's great to ride in and easy to fix if you know what you are doing.
The car workouts great. When we first bought it the truck was loaded with water and the only thing we needed to do was pull the plug and it drained out. The brake pads on the car seem to wear very easily but that could be the brand that we get. Right now the ac does not work and it has been rebuilt and now we are trying to find out if it is one of the fuses that is causing the problems.
Miranda C

The greatness of my car...
I don't have really any major type of problems with my car. The defrost doesn't really work that well for the back window. I do love how I can move my foot pedals forward and backwards. The A/C works amazing. My car is just all around comfortable. And it's ok on gas.
Kris Q
on December 9, 2020
There are two different engines for this vehicle.
My 2003 Ford Taurus se 3. 0l V6 is a fairly nice car. It has been very reliable and has a pleasant driving experience. There is plenty of power for it is engine type, and gets reasonably decent fuel economy. The interior is comfortable, however fairly basic. This vehicle is generally easy to work on, which I have done quite a bit in the way of regular maintenance and such. Overall this is a great car for the money.
Angela J

Good secondary vehicle for family.
It runs well great air conditioning for this Arizona heat. It is also good on gas. Lots of trunk space. I am planning on buying a secondary vehicle in the next few months and I will be keeping this vehicle as a backup vehicle.
Pam A
on November 30, 2020
Comfort and space are the best features of my car in my opinion.
I bought my Taurus used and it had very low miles on it. I wanted a 4 door car that was big enough for my family and it ended up being perfect. We all ride comfortably regardless of how far we are going. I have never had anyone complain about being uncomfortable in my car. It is very roomy and the seats are soft. The heat warms us up very quickly in the winter and the air keeps us all cool in the summer. One of my favorite things about the car is the amount of trunk space it has. I have never had a problem fitting everything I need to take on a trip or have never run out of space when loading up groceries at the store. I love the color which seems to change with the lighting, sometimes beige or tan and has been called light green in the right light.
EBONY R
on November 22, 2020
It has the potential to be a great car, once Ford figures out the repair kinks.
The size is very accommodating for the amount of room that I need in a vehicle. The ride is smooth and amazing. The car is great....as long as it is running! I have had nothing but problems after the transmission went out on me without warning.
Susan A
on November 19, 2020
Good visibility we like larger windows and able to see out all of the windows.
A station wagon and lots of room, but not a high profile vehicle that causes problems with wind and icy roads. Has had electrical problems with the doors, cracked cooling storage, other problems. . We keep fixing it because we like the windows and visibility as well as we like station wagons. Good mileage, starts in winter. . .

This is a short summary of my vehicle which includes some very special features.
I love my vehicle because the engine is sound, it is very dependable have had the vehicle for about 2 years and have only replaced the battery and put new tires on it, which is why I say that it is very reliable the interior of the car is soft and comfortable although from looking at it from the outside you would be surprised just how roomy it is. It has amazing features such as power windows, locks and also offers a am FM radio, and a CD player. You would be surprised also how roomy the trunk is and has also a hidden spot under the carpet for your spare tire,

Ford Taurus: Dependable, but old
My ford Taurus is fairly old. It is from 2003. The transmission may have a leak as it will often shudder as I come to a stop. It has held up fairly well and has never completed broken down thankfully. The AC is not currently working, and the breaks are squeaky.
Michelle P
on November 2, 2020
Good, clean, well-maintained car with low mileage.
My car may be old but it has been well-maintained over the years. There is very little surface rust and the frame is stable. The paint is not oxidized at all either. The interior is very clean also. I will continue to drive this vehicle until something major breaks that is going to cost me more than the car is worth.
Adam T

My Ford Taurus and Why You Should Get One
My right turn signal is about to go out, and the brakes are questionable. Other than that, it is in pretty good shape. It drives nice, air conditioning works well, smoke-free, and pet friendly home. I have had the vehicle since 2015, and it is a very nice car. I recommend this for any teen or family.
Alicia R
on November 1, 2020
The best and worst Ford Taurus ever
It needs tire lineament, when it picks up speed to quickly it will backfire. The front left tire and the back right tire always lose air within two days. It's loud, it does leak gas. Check engine light will turn on every couple of days, it has a weird smell inside. You'll need to press on the breaks twice in order to make it stop.
Mo R
on October 23, 2020
Comfortable, roomy and dependable!
I purchased the car used two years ago (2017) with only 65,000 miles. It had been parked For a while so of course I had to get things fixed or replaced over the last two years. But nothing too expensive. It's comfortable and roomy with 4 doors making it easy for my friends to get in. It has cruise control. The only thing I would say I dislike is the stereo. I wanted a new one installed with an auxiliary feature but was told that the way the stereo is put in the 2003 Taurus, the entire front panel would have to be modified to put a new stereo. I didn't have it done because it was too expensive.
Pj J

It has run for a long time and been very reliable. After 15 years it is starting to have problems.

2003 Ford Taurus SES is the best car I've ever had! Reliable & comfortable.
My car is good on gas, dependable, rides comfortably & has more than enough room in it for 4 big people to be comfortable. It handles easy & runs super smooth. I got it used but it is the nicest car I have ever had. It is power everything. Very reliable even with a few issues. I love my car!
Jessica R

The pros and cons of buying a ford Taurus.
My car is roomy. With proper care it runs great. I have had a few issues with it like gas mileage when I was running behind on getting the oil change. My catalytic converters have recently stopped up as well. That is not a cheap fix, but I hear there are ways around getting it fixed.
Robert A

I give my car a high 6. I like that is a big car. Do not use that much gas.
I have a reliable car, it is a 2003 Ford Taurus ses. I have a air conditioner problem it is doesn't work. It feels like it wants to turn off. It also smells like gas and oil. But so far it runs good on the interstate I have been back and forth with the car. It is a smooth drive before whatever had happened when it turned off out of nowhere. I had to wait to for it to cool down to turn it back on.
Katie C

Extremely Reliable At 400,000 miles ALL ORIGINAL PARTS
Personally I'm in love. This car has been around since 2003 and its been 17 years going on 18 pretty soon. This car has all original parts (minus the break lines) starts no problem, doesn't burn any oil or fluids, gas is a little much for it (if you over fill by alot you can get the gas to last for a long time) The car is almost rusted out underneath. The side skirts rusted off. The engine has done a remarkable job holding up. I do think my transmission is starting to go. I have 400,000 miles on the car. I've personally had to fix the broken wire in the door to fix the windows not going up and down. The seats are comfortable and the trunk space is amazing. The car runs great, drives great, handles great, picks up like its brand new. I havent had an oil change in almost 80,000 miles and my oil is clean and at the same level it was last time I changed it. The blinkers, speedometer, tachometer, rpms, quit working after 100,000 miles for some reason. When you go over a puddle the floor lifts your feet up (alot alot alot of rust underneath the car) The car has handled alot of abuse; accidents, airtime, drifting, riding on two wheels, racing, all sorts of weather, spin outs, first time drivers, I've really given this car a wirl. Shes been all over and seen alot. If your want reliability this is your car. But rust is an issue so be prepared to go out and get some por - 15 and spend the rest of your life with her. Because she'll out live you. And again over 400,000 miles on all original parts minus the break lines. Its a great car you'll have a hard tine saying goodbye too. Regardless what condition its in
Gabby B
on September 15, 2020
It has three seats upfront.
My Ford Taurus I feel is a very safe car for beginner drivers. It's very sturdy and safe and easy to drive. It's very good on gas. To fill it's tank, it's about $40. I drove 2 and 1/2 on vacation and back with only having to fill my tank once. It's a reliable car that's very easy to maintain and barely ever has any problems considering it's a used car.
Jojo C
on September 14, 2020
The car is dependable for how old it is
I just bought the car from a friend. And so far the ac doesn't blow cold air and seems like there's one problem after another with the car. The performance is weak but I'm hoping it's because of a gasket. It is reliable though. The seats are comfy and is roomy inside. The stereo is old and can use some upgrades
Randall A
on September 6, 2020
It'd dependable enough to be a daily driver. I've had very few repairs that couldn't be done same day.
I like how I can do most of the maintenance myself with relative ease. I like how durable it has been for the last 11 years, I've owned it. I dislike how easily the rear suspensions seems to have failed.
Taylor W
on September 5, 2020
Taurus is a great value for what you get
My Ford Taurus is a very reliable car and can be fixed very quickly because it is such a simple car. I love that it has a V6 for extra power and it has a very spacious interior because it is a pretty wide car. The options are very basic however and I wish that I could have had a better stereo system or more safe features included
Cherish L
on September 5, 2020
Just how really good a old ford is...
It's just old that is all but if you keep it tune up and oil change it's a dependable car. The most problems I have had is the starter going out. Also my transmission went out and I had to get a new one. I would like a up to date car but I can honestly say the car has gotten me around. It has never cut off on me.

Samantha T
on July 25, 2020
Keep up with general maintenance and it will be a great car.
I got the car second hand about two years ago. It had some immediate repairs but nothing too costly. It has been a very reliable car for me. It gets around 22-25 miles to the gallon, so with regular trips I find myself filling up around once a month. Everything under the hood is easy for someone who knows almost nothing about cars to identify to replace the oil, brake fluid, antifreeze, and windshield wiper fluid. Mine is a lovely dark gray color. It has six seat belts, soft seats, and very few blind spots. It is a luxury sedan and generally very smooth on the road.

Joshua H

Ford Taurus can last a while but expect to do maintenance on it
Good vehicle but if something goes wrong good luck. Get metric wrenches if you are working on a Ford vehicle. If you take care of it and do regular service maintenance on it you should be good. Check spark plugs, change oil, expect the fuel pump to go out at around 100,000 miles.
Sarah O
on July 18, 2020
I love my car. It runs smooth and is cute red.
My vehicle is a 2003 Ford Taurus. It's a red four door and an automatic gear shift on the right of the steering wheel. I bought it at about 1200 with the book value around 5000. I have owned the car for about 3 years and put about 3000 worth of work into it. I have put on new ball bearings and strut. Have put in a new fuel pump and alternator. I have purchased and changed out two new batteries. Have had about 3 realignments done and purchased two new sets of all season and than winter tires. I have a rust spot underneath the rear left door and the front right window doesn't roll down. I have changed the spark plug and the entire window button piece but something is not connected so the window doesn't pull down. All of the other windows work. I had done oil changes and gas treatments along with buying an air gauge for the tires.
Melissa O
on July 17, 2020
It's noisy. The belt pulleys squeal so it can be heard coming a couple of blocks away.
It's reliable. Daily commute of 50 miles a day through construction zones. No Air conditioning, but the heat works. Radio works. Lighter is used as a charging station.
Marquita S
on July 9, 2020
This review details my cat and why I had to get rid of it.
I love my Taurus. I had it for a few years but I had to let it go. Because of a blown head gasket. It was a real good car otherwise.
Lee G

The good little car with a weak part
Good car overall (roominess, driveability). Has been a reliable car, until the transmission failed. Unfortunately this turns out to be the biggest complaint. A weak torque convertor in the automatic seems to take most of the blame for this issue.
Diane W
on July 1, 2020
The Ford Taurus is still very reliable after 15 years.
The car is 15 years old and over 150, 000 miles but still very reliable. It is performance is still good and it is still a comfortable ride. The mpg is good. I only refill for gas once a week (I drive about 20 miles a day).

Easy to repair and reliable past my expectations.
This is an older model of course but it is an easy car to fix for yourself. I have had this car a few years and only time I have taken the car to the mechanic was just out of convenience. The car still runs great has minor issues that are normal maintenance really and is very reliable still.

It has power steering power windows and seats air conditioning good heat.
My car is dependable and good transportation very few problems power everything. Very reliable and I love the freedom of my car. My car travels short distances and long I am the second owner and I am happy I bought and it is paid off. I own it outright very low maintenance.

The car is very reliable and dependability with getting around.

2003 silver Ford Taurus. Very reliable car, good to use as a student vehicle.
Problems- squeaks loudly while driving, but quiets down the more you drive it. Can be fixed, the vehicle is just older. Performance- drives fairly well and smooth. Has power locks. Reliability- good, would trust on long road trips. Gets better gas mileage the more you drive it on freeways and highways. Comfort- amazing, so comfy and ac works great. Drives very well.

Dependable, reliable, 2003 Ford Taurus.
My vehicle is a smooth, quiet running little car. Its air and heat works well. My Ford Taurus is a reliable little vehicle. I have drove it to Florida from Kentucky and back with no problems. Just like any car its had its problems such as needing a starter, wheel bearing, new brakes, and a rotor. A big plus to the 2003 Ford Taurus is gas mileage.

Not bad.
RI get 26 mpg average if change oil regularly and keep it toped off. It seems to burn threw a qt of oil every ~1k miles. Its not leaking oil I just smell burning oil in the cabin. I drive with a heavy foot and accelerate quick. I haven't had to replace any major parts other than brakes and shocks. I took ownership of it in 2012 after my dads funeral. Honestly its not a great car compared to many others but its been very reliable for its age. I was pretty content with it. Its rusting to pieces and unsafe to wreck in now so I'm making sure it gets scrapped when I trade in. Sad to see it go.

It has a lot of safety precautions on it
I love that it's great on gas, is very roomy and safe. I hate that it's so old

Um, my car's not the best but it works.
Wasn't very expensive since we got it used. Has better fuel mileage than our other vehicles. A/C works wonderfully. Wish it had a usb slot and a rear view camera but it works as is.

It is very reliable, great gas mileage.
I like the fact that my car is very comfortable, drive good, great gas mileage. I like everything bout my car.

I like the lights on the bottom of the rear view mirrors.
Well my car overheats and leaks antifreeze. The battery cable is loose which causes me to require a jump whenever I need to drive it. Sometimes the interior lights come on without anyone touching it. Windshield wiper fluid does not work. When I go over 60 mph my car suddenly starts to lose acceleration.

It is oversized for a regular sedan.
The brakes wore out very quickly considering I am not a fast driver and the previous owner wasn't a teenager. . . It is a pretty comfortable car but often feels oversized and boat-like. It has been very reliable for a while now but at the same time it is a car that needs more upkeep than you might think for a little Ford Taurus. Overall a good car but as an owner for a while now it is definitely time for a change.

The 2003 Ford Taurus is not a good vehicle.
This car is awful. It has broken down and stranded me so any times. The a/c doesn't work so its extremely uncomfortable. We have had to replace the starter 3 times, the alternator, the fuel pump, catalytic converters, and a much more. The tires have blown out many times, and the brakes burn through really fast.

My vehicle is a blue Ford Taurus, its not that small but it's also not that big.
I used to love my car, but recently everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong. I've spent so much money trying to repair my car. I believe my main problem is that the owner before I bought was pretty rough on the car whenever they had it.

It's mine. And that it's a decent car. It's usually pretty trustworthy.
It has a few maintenance issues, like it's dripping oil and overheats sometimes. And the ACa is a pain to keep running.

Nothing. My car is pure transportation. It gets me from point A to point B.
I bought this car used for little cash and have had it for six years. Only complaint is that it is a 2003 car not a 2018.

My favorites thing about owning a Ford was all the room inside and on trunk.
I have been driving a Ford for almost 20+ years. With each car I had limited or no significant kind of repairs done Except for yearly maintenance. Gas mileage was always great A comfortable ride both in the front and the back seat. The extras were always a plus. The dashboard and controls for radio and air-conditioning were user friendly

It had that dent in the door when we got it.
I dislike the size and the amount of gas it takes to run. I like the fact it was very cheap to buy. It is a pretty good car, and I hope it keeps going for many more years without serious issues or costs.

Best American car I've ever had
This was my first new car. From day one it has been awesome. Now almost 10 years and 244,000 miles later it continues to do whatever is asked of it. The Duratec 24v 3.0 is quite trouble free. It still has the original starter, alternator, and water pump. The trans is the same one it came with in 2003 and has never gave an issue shifting. Take care of your car and it will take care of you. Oil changes every 5k, trans fluid change, and fuel filter every 30k, coolant every 100k. Why I would ever buy a import after owning this car? It made us a Ford family for life.

My car has a sunroof that is enjoyable to use at times.
My car is a medium size car. It is reasonably comfortable. For me it has been a good car, just the regular repairs that an older car has. It does not have a lot of extra stuff inside. It has a radio, CD player, air conditioner and heater. I bought the car used but it has been a good car at the time I needed that kind of a car. Wow I do not go for a real stylish car this car has a style about it that is attractive enough. Over all I cannot really complain about this type of car.

Taurus seats 6 comfortably
The Ford taurus drives nice and rides like a cloud. The only complaint I have is the gas mileage is not that great for a V6

Car has a sunroof perfect for a nice sunny day or a starry night sky.
My car is automatic with a sunroof, and power windows. It is in okay condition. There is just around the wheel wells and under the driver and passenger doors. Runs okay but needs a battery, and to be put on a diagnostic tester to find out why check engine light won't go off. As is.

It is dependable and has lots of room.
It is a wagon, so it has lots of room and I can fit 2 carseats in it for the grandkids or haul things. What I dislike is the gas mileage
