Smooth ride, a bit sluggish

2004 Ford Taurus LX 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

Bought this car brand new about a year ago. Paid $12,000 for it. No major problems with it. Front wheel makes squeaky noises, and the dealer cannot fix the problem. It is no big deal, I can barely hear it with the windows down. The car is really smooth to drive. The suspension is extremely soft, but it also handles like a boat. The previous car that I owned was a '99 Chevy Lumina; the Ford handles better overall. The engine is slow and sluggish. The transmission is even worse; it never knows what gear it is supposed to be in. However if you drive normally you won't have any problems, just don't expect much from the V6. Overall it has been a good experience. Smooth, soft, fast on the highway.
Great 4 Door Sedan

I have approximately 68000 miles on my 2004 Ford Taurus SE and love it. Regular maintenance with NO major repairs. I average 22-25 mpg, more on interstate.

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.

Troubled Taurus

The week after my girlfriend bought this car with 43000mi on it, she took it on a trip from central MN to Colorado. They encountered problems the entire way! It stalled 3 times in the mountains, twice needing to be jumped, and once more when they got back in MN. 5 trips to the dealer and 3 batteries later, we thought it was fixed. Now whenever the temp gets above 65 it will sputter at idle and accelerate like tortuise for the first 150 feet. Also, we started learning why this car is called "disposable" when parts started falling off and breaking in the interior. Not to mention the annoying heat shield rattle and fuel cap sensor! At least it gets 28mpg avg. We'll get a Malibu next time.
