It is very comfortable ride.

My car is very comfortable and easy to get in and out of. You feel like you are sitting in an SUV rather than low like a car. My car handles very well. I love the backup camera. I get decent gas mileage considering the size of the car.

2016 ford sho a big girl that can dance.

Have had no issues. Car is a performance variant with factory modified suspension brakes and motor. Extremely comfortable and well equipped. Sporty styling with luxury amenities. Equipped with AWD, large seating assignments, huge trunk. Has heated/cooled seats, that have massage feature for front seat passengers. Zero to 60 in 5 seconds.

The safety sensor is the best if you have children or a first time driver.

My car has a tire sensor fault. I have Bluetooth and a camera for the back to reverse. It has a safety sensor where you cannot drive past 80 mph and a code for the car to unlock the driver side. The trunk has a lot of space and it is a very spacious car.

My 2016 ford Taurus limited. It is a pearl white beautiful car.

I love my car! It has all the bells and whistles I haven't hardly begin to tap into all the things my car can do. It is extremely safe and fun to drive although it is easy to catch myself speeding so I have to watch my speedometer. It is fun to drive and it is a beautiful car.

Don't know it's been a good car for me but not real good on gas mileage

No complaints Has lots of power keyfob is going out to soon

Stacy A

It drinks a lot of gas, expensive to fix but looks good.

Love,love my car it is so nice drives well and I really have no complaints all around I believe by far Ford is the best.

My Ford experience has been amazing and would most likely stay a Ford customer.

My car has not had many repairs but lately I have had to get my tires rotated and my front end aligned which is normal due to wear and tear. The car has a lot of room in the front and the back. The trunk has a lot of room as well and has an extra compartment for an extra tire.

Very fun sleeper family car.

Super comfy to drive could use maybe 2 inches more of head room and some fog lights added. Been reliable. Ptu is notorious for failure and water pump notorious for going bad but other than those issues only other issue is turbo failures. The seats and climate control are easy to use and stereo sounds good.

One of the worst cases I had to deal with.

The car was great the day it came off of the lot. Everything after was terrible. From the service of ford to the performance of the car. My gas gauge did not work for two years but I was forced to pay regardless. Bad experience as far as cars. I would not recommend ford to anyone.

Ok car, but...

I got the my taurus with 26800 miles on it, 2 1/2 years later, I have 66000 miles on it, and its leaking coolant! It's in the shop now, but the internal water pump is a very expensive fix! It would have been 5 stars if I didnt have to spend 2 gs to get the stupid thing running proper.

Cyn C

It has a circle radio with a joystick to toggle between features.

I am tired of driving standard. The vehicle has 2.5 doors so it is challenging to get anyone bigger than a child into the back seat. I do like the leather seats and seat warmers. The sun and moon roof are my favorite feature of the vehicle. It is decent on gas.

Araina P

Bigger sometimes is just compacted.

From the outside looking in the car appears to be spacious and comfortable. But when seated inside it is much more compact. It is not a very comfortable car for long drives. The trunk is also a lot smaller than it appears. While driving the car u really need to get a feel for how huge the exterior of the car is.

CV Joints keep going bad

I love my Taurus, but my 2016 continues going into the shop for bad cv joints, its ridiculous, must be a lemon. Also gets really bad gas mileage.

Gretchen C

I love the camera in the back and the sensors, it is so useful.

It is ok, the screen control has gone out and it is very difficult to do anything with only voice control. It is a good car, apart from that. It seems to not sense the key fob at times and I have to wait for it to recognize it. But I think that must be a loose connection or bad battery somewhere.

Sara M

Good car just little issues.

The car has no GPS and it has a terrible sound system. Not really a fan of ford Taurus they used to have transmission problems. We bought this car because we got a good deal. Haven't had many problems with it this far. Just bought the car several months ago so have yet to see any major issues.

Andie L

I live the leather interior and the spacious inside of the vehicle.

Absolutely horrible in the winter. Cannot drive if roads are icy or snow covered - and I even bought brand new tires! I didn't think I would need AWD, as I do not drive out of town. But I cannot even drive even up the smallest hill if it is snowy or icy outside.

Pros from Owners

Annette R.

Rides very smooth and has a large trunk as well as passenger seating very comfortable. Nice appearance. Has a fair amount of added features, such as excellent stereo sound system, phone jacks, heated seats, so much is included in the package I purchased.

Cons from Owners

Annette R.

Miles per gallon. City not very much, highway cannot really give an opinion, for I do not travel that often on it. That really is the only issue with the car. I would suggest not to choose black as your color, shows to much of dirt. Silver would be the way to go.
