I am a big fan of this car...Nothing much to write except that it is because of this Ford Taurus SEL that our whole family is alive right now......We survived a rollover crash and all came out without a scratch...the car was considered totalled and with the safety features that Ford has installed in this vehicle I am alive right now to write about it...amazingly to say the least...Thank you....

this Taurus has great performance with almost 210 hp and steers and rides comfortably. Along the way there will be some expected maintenance of the the car but this is normal with all vehicles. the transmission is a little weak but if you have the fluid completely flushed and replaced every 2 years the transmission will stay smooth and reliable for a very long time.

This is an excellent car althiugh theresale value is low. The only problemI have had is thr front brakes. Ford replaced the pad and rotors at 14000 miles. The vechile has 30000 miles now.

Transmission failure was way premature. Little things quit working including left outside mirror vertical control and radio won't work in hot weather. Theft prevention works great. Somewhat smaller than Sable wagon. Radio seems to be doing better. Had to replace 2 front calipers this year due to brakes dragging. Really handy pulling trailer moving 40 miles away. Mileage 106,000 in 2022. Replaced rear brake shoes at 110,000 miles in 2023. A/C needs recharged.

When they told me we were going to be now driving a FORD Taurus, I was somewhat disappointed. I had suck good luck with the Dodge Intrepids we drove for years. Well, I was right; but I never suspected I would be SO right So soon. With less than 1000 miles, I have already experienced an annoying squeak (I suspect Water Pump). The fit and finish is horrible. The right rear of the Trunk Lid does not fit. The left rear door also looks like it does not close....All this in 1 week!!! I can hardly wait until it is broken in! Have I driven a FORD lately?? I guess not.
