Used 2001 Ford Taurus SES 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
happy with car
It is the best car I ever owned. I was tired of driving Toyotas. Next year, I plan on buying a new Taurus or Sable to replace it.
OK Ride - Dependable and Easy to Drive
My 2001 SES DOHC was a rental bought at a dealer in 2002 with 23K. Had initial problems with brakes. Had rotors turned, then had them turned again about 20K later. Had fuel sensor replaced under warranty, idler pulley failed around 40K. Has been trouble free otherwise. Not exciting to drive, but is easy. Good smooth power from the 200hp DOHC engine. Transmission is a little clunky going from 3-4. Have 62K now and all is well. Will be a good car for my teenage daughter.
The Taurus is NOT just for families!
I'm 20 years old and I'm in love with my Taurus. Folks, it's not just a family sedan anymore. It's fun to drive, it's very responsive and it's all-around cool. Ford did an excellent job when they revamped th body, because it's absolutely gorgeous. The silly bubble light brakes are gone; now the back of the car looks like something more expensive than a Ford. It's EXCELLENT on gas for a V6. I can get a good 280 miles (city) before I have to fill up. It's very roomy; there's ample trunk space...did I mention it's fun to drive?!
Not so impressed
I've had the car since it was new - a little over 5 years. Last 18 months, the maintenance has been expensive. It gets serviced by the dealer or a national reliable chain, but the transmission died today, last year it was the transaxle seals. If there is good news, I'm running out of things to replace on this car.
