Solid and Economical

2007 Ford Taurus SEL Fleet 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Review
I once owned a Taurus back in 1983 and it was crap! But one look at my 2007 SEL model and I really liked it. I drive it every chance I get and commute in it. It is quiet, smooth and gets 30 mpg highway! I like the interior as it is comfortable and semi luxurous. Sound system is really good (mach) version and performance is real good for this size of car. I hope to get lots of miles out of this car and after a few tweaks it should be a real nice ride. Oh and best of all it only cost 11,200 now that is smokin
Favorite Features
The ride, sound system and interior
Suggested Improvements
Better power, leather seat option with seat heaters. Side curtain air bags and more computer readouts like systems monitoring and checks

More than You'd Expect
Vehicle
2007 Ford Taurus SEL Fleet 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Review
There are enough bells and whistles for convenience. Too bad there's only 153hp under the hood! Rides great on smooth highways -- jittery on any thing less or in heavy crosswinds. Handles OK but somewhat ponderous for parking and around town. Huge trunk. Comfortable seats. Too soon to know real world mileage but the computer says 28 highway about 26.5 in town.
Favorite Features
Comfortable seats, big interior, lots of cubby holes, quiet ride at interstate speed, and a huge trunk.
Suggested Improvements
I'm going to add a power passenger seat and CD changer, plus a sunshade for that huge rear window!

'07 Taurus replaces Nissan
Vehicle
2007 Ford Taurus SE Fleet 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Review
I've owned '88, '94, '97,'02,and now the '07 Taurus. The '02 was the best overall. I like a combination of reasonable size, safety, and overall economy of operation. I'm averaging right at 27mpg overall with most of my driving on the interstate. I did better on my '02 with the 24V engine. My current '07 has 3 front seatbelts which allows for six passengers, something many newer sedans do not offer. If I had the purchase to do over I would find the SEL model for some better interior quality and for extra features however this seems to be a good car so far. Only one issue so far: front driver side window went down but would not come up. Only happened one time. I think something may be loose.
Favorite Features
Roomy interior. Good power. Seemingly good value for the price.
Suggested Improvements
Being discontinued I hope the reliability hasn't suffered by shutting down the product line. Time will tell. Would really like to see 30 mpg highway at 65 mph.

This is my first "Newer" vehicle, and my first car loan, this was in my price range at only 10,988. Car is getting on average 19-21 MPG. That is with several quick accelerations a day. and driving it somewhat hard. Car rides great, is comfortable.

Power windows, locks, and keyless entry.

2007 Ford Taurus SEL Fleet 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Review
I bought my Taurus as a family car. I have 4 kids and want a safe, dependable car. For the price there is no better value. If you are looking for a sports car with great handleing on the autovon look elesewhere. I wanted a solid, safe car at a value price and I have all that and more. My 07 Taurus has leather, sunroof etc. and 23K miles for about 12k. No complaints here.

2007 was the last "value" Taurus built, the only improvement is to bring it back!

Last of the land sharks
Vehicle
2007 Ford Taurus SE Fleet 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Review
I bought my '07 a month ago at just about half sticker price. The wheels needed alignment, but the dealer was happy to fix it on the first try. The engine is so quiet and revs so high, the jet engine air intake seems right. Fuel consumption is what you would expect for a peppy big-midsize, not what you would be led to expect by the window sticker. I get 22 mpg mixed. This car has a solid feel of quality that makes me think the guys on the assembly line know they were participating in history. My only disappointment is that silly dash which won't accept an aftermarket stereo gracefully. The enthusiastic A/C more than makes up for it, though, as it's a neccessity here in Florida.
Favorite Features
It's so quiet, from the effortless closing of the doors to the lack of wind noise at eighty. The cabin has glass all around, no damn blind spots. The behind the rear door windows have to be a treat for kids strapped facing the rear. I like the nose design and am glad to have one of the last ones.
Suggested Improvements
A flat spot on the dash, a standard transmission, better restraints on cargo sliding about on that huge flat floor of the trunk. Oh yes, and bring it back into production. The 2008 500/Taurus is a giant leap backwards in body style.

2007 Ford Taurus SEL
Vehicle
2007 Ford Taurus SEL Fleet 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Review
I had a 2003 Ford Taurus SE before which was a very good car. I had the car until October 2007 when a crash on the interstate totalled it. The incident on the highway tested a few things on the car, like braking, handling and safety. It is a very safe car. The 08 version is the safest in American, if you haven't seen the commericial. The Taurus has been criticized for it looks but I'd much rather crash in an ugly American car then a cheap Japanese one. I liked the car so much, I have now bought the 2007 model in SEL, which is quite similar apart from a few minor improvements on the looks and has leather seats, air con, etc.
Favorite Features
The 3.0 engine delivers a fair amount of power and the ice cold air conditioning is vital in Californian weather.
Suggested Improvements
The exterior design could have been better on the 4th generation model, the new one looks much better.
