Near Perfect!!

2001 Ford Taurus SES 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

We bought our SES with the Vulcan engine, Silver Frost color, a few months ago from an "lease auction". It has (now) 90K miles & because the Taurus resale price is so low we bought it for about 1/3 of new price. The car is near "showroom perfect". If I didn't know the mileage I would think it was new. This car far exceeds all expectations we had of it.....we have yet to find anything we don't like about it!! We have an older Taurus but this SES is Fords finest. We look for excuses to drive it. The only way we would replace it would be to buy another one just like it!

2001 Ford Taurus SE 4dr Wagon (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

I am VERY picky on my vech. My 2000 taurus sedan I have owned for over 3 years and has performed flawlessly and have been so happy that I had purchased a 2001 wagon over a year ago. That also was an excel. purchase. They are a great value, comfortable for long trips (and I am not a small person), and perform VERY well, although I HIGHLY recommend getting the 24 valve dura- tech.engine as I have in both of mine as they are touted to be extremely reliable. No problems here !!!! PS EDMUNDS NEEDS TO ADD A SES 2001 WAGON LISTING, THEY ONLY HAVE A SE LISTING, MY WAGON IS A 2001 SES

I get the performance from the Taurus I expected. No, it's not a Mustang. But for an excellent safety-rated 4-dr family car, it is worth the money. Have thought about buying another just like it. Bought it used with 11,000 miles on it. Do the math and enjoy!

I've only had this car for a few months, but I love it. The design is great, inside features are great, nice handling. It has great interior room, a trunk you can live in. I reccomend this car definately.

Gas mileage is not good. Car behaves well, has really not been a problem except that "Service Engine" light comes on because gas gauge goes wacky. This is probably due to having used poor gas sometimes. Seems to be sensitive to this. No noticeable knocks or pings, however.
