What Edmunds Says

No longer a top contender in the midsize car segment, the Taurus is still a decent buy if a low initial price is more important to you than overall refinement and resale value.

Pros

Low price, roomy interior, good crash test scores, available as a sedan or a wagon.

Cons

Low-grade interior materials, poor expected resale value, doesn't ride, handle or stop as well as top competitors.

What's New for 2005

The Taurus receives a few changes this year, most in the name of simplification. Trim levels have been pared down to just SE and SEL, last year's huge array of packages has been consolidated and a comprehensive wood trim package is now standard on the SEL. Later in the model year, a tire-pressure monitor system will become standard on all models with alloy wheels.
