High quality and very low maintenance and I will miss owning a ford.
I have been owning and driving a ford Taurus for almost 30 years and I have always loved it but I am now on full disability and a fixed income so the next vehicle unfortunately will not be a ford as their prices are just not low enough for me to be able to afford.

Ford Taurus sho is one of the best cars you can buy!
The ford Taurus sho, is very reliable. My family of 5 fits comfortably in it. The ride feels really smooth. I would recommend this car to anyone. It definitely has a lot of power. The look inside and out is stylish and appealing. I absolutely love the features, the backup camera is a lifesaver, and the back window screen is great for keeping the sun out of my rear facing infants eyes. The heated and air conditioned seats are so pampering. I love the dual temperatures, it helps me stay warm when my husband needs to have the car feel like a freezer. I love my Taurus sho, I wouldn't have it any other way!

Ford Taurus sel pros no cons!
I really love the horsepower the car has. It runs really smooth and it basically does not sounds like it is on when it runs. The black cloth interior is comforting, it has plenty of room in the back seat for car riders as well. The trunk also has plenty of space. Also, the hands free equipment inside the car is top notch as well.

Fast just like the Taurus cop undercovers.
Very smooth drive, goes very fast, very luxurious, love this vehicle very much. I have never had a car in my life I have always had an SUV probably because I am very tall. This vehicle is very roomy and perfect for me. The back seat is extremely roomy, I have 2 15 in subs sitting in my back seat.

Great Car Love the look and the way it handles
Love it. It's classy sharp, has great features, Handles well on the road and in snow and ice. Only problem was a power steering issue that was covered by warranty

It looks like a sedan but is really very sporty. When driving, watch out for that heavy foot!
I like the style, its classy on the outside and sporty on the inside. Of course the front bucket seats. Then there's the spacious back seat and high trunk. It's also gets great gas mileage!

It's a great car for a family.
I love to remote to start button. I love how roomy the car is for my family. I love the gas mileage. The only thing i don't like is the color but that not anyone's fault but mine.

Sometimes the rear windshield wipers do not clear the window entirely.
This ford Taurus is a fine car for commuting. I would only get leather upholstery. Sometimes the rear window heater does not work. Sometimes the am radio is unclear. Sometimes the rear windshield wiper does not clear the rain entirely. Yet, it gets decent gas mileage and dives comfortably. In general, I like this car.
accountCircle Jhanna W
The car is a decent, comfortable and spacious car. Just have to keep it up.
Very comfortable and it is spacious. However, I have been having car issues within the past few weeks out of nowhere, costed me over $1000 just to get it fixed. The oil changes are expensive and it costs to keep the car up. But it drives well and smoothly. Not a bad car but cost efficient.
accountCircle Nanci I
Ok car for the money used.
Gas guzzler, hard on tires and brakes, really heavy car and very safe, bad electronics. I've spent a ton of money on oil changes even though it takes synthetic. Gas mileage is OK I GET 17 in the city and 24 on the highway with unleaded fuel. I never use the flex fuel option.
accountCircle Ryan W
I love the feeling of the seats and the inside looks really nice.
It is reliable, the drives really good and accelerate quickly. It does not give much mechanical issues I've had my car for about 3 years now and its performance is just as good as the first day I got it. Plus the interior is very luxurious and stylish. And it's fuel efficient in my opinion
accountCircle Tiffany A
It is really nice and roomy.
I like that our Ford Taurus is very roomy on the inside. I do not like that it is breaking down all at once ?? I also wish it had more features.
accountCircle Mark S
Reliable, little to no maintenance over the first 100k miles.
Very reliable, smooth driving, wish it had a backup camera and the side system that alerts you to somebody being next to you in your blind spot. I have had 4 Taurus’s and would recommend to anyone interested in a sedan.
accountCircle Alex K
It is a ford Taurus interceptor and is a police cruiser.
I drive this everyday for work and put about 1500 miles a week on it, 95 percent of it is highway miles. I run this vehicle very rough and it has the stronger engine, however, it requires a ton of maintenance and even if I do not run it hard, brand new parts break or do not work how they’re required to. It is not the worst vehicle I have ever driven but it has some problems that definitely need to be worked out.
accountCircle Jessica D
It is good all around I enjoy that can take calls and change the lighting.
Fuel gauge always has issues. I enjoy the heated seats and Bluetooth capability. It drives really smooth and you cannot feel anything when you go above 60. The ac is prone to leaking but can easily be fixed. I would say it is not the best in the winter. It is not the worst but if you live in a winter climate it is not ideal.

Ford Taurus comparable to Lincoln continental.
I love my 2015 Taurus. I have not had a single problem with it since purchasing it in 2017. It is roomy and has plenty of legroom for my 3 teenage boys. The trunk is spacious. There are lots of cup holders and charging ports. It gets decent gas mileage for the size of vehicle. It has plenty of get up and go for highway driving. I have previously owned a Lincoln and this Taurus is very close to that vehicle.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Marcia B.

It is smooth riding. It gets good mileage. Very comfortable car to ride in. I enjoy this vehicle very much. It has not given me any problems over the years with just keeping up with basic maintenance such as oil changes, tire rotation and basic maintenance every 3500 miles.

likeFilled David C.

Mileage is very good. It has a lot of space and is a reliable car. I will definitely stick with ford. You have to be used to big cars when buying this vehicle or driving it. There's a lot of cars that look nice, but don't end up satisfying.

likeFilled Frank M.

The pros for this vehicle include its durability and longevity. With over 100,000 miles I have put on this car, I have not needed to bring it into a shop for more than oil changes and new tires. It also gets great gas mileage and has awesome highway handling.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Marcia B.

The visibility when making a left hand turn is not very good. You have to stretch your neck to see. The heat in the vehicle takes much longer to warm up unlike the smaller cars that heat up the car very quickly. This is bad in the winter months. Also the defrost on the windows take longer to clear the fog so you can see where you are going.

dislikeFilled David C.

The vehicles looks date from a earlier era, and to some buyers that can be a turn off that causes them to move on to a newer vehicle. Of course, if this is the case then the 2008 and 2009 editions of the used ford Taurus are right there waiting to be discovered.

dislikeFilled Frank M.

Accelerated faster than any car that I have owned and that takes some getting used to. At first I caught myself speeding without even realizing it. After I drove it for a couple of weeks though, I was able to get a hang of the engine and acceleration speed.
