What a Bargain

I just bought a 08 Ford Taurus last week and can't believe what you get for the money. Since 1998, I had five Cadillac Devilles and two Eldorados. When I drive the Taurus, I don't see much difference between it and the Devilles that I've had. I suppose there may be a little more road noise in the Taurus, but not much. I've been resetting my mileage gauge when I go from city to highway or highway to city driving to see how the mileage looks. So far, it appears that I'm getting about 17 city and 28 highway which is great for a car that is this big, comfortable and safe. I'm quite pleased with this purchase.

My friend totaled my 2005 Mercury Montego last year (also a great car) so this is the car I ended up purchasing as a replacement. I got it with 35,000 miles on it and drove it all the way to Florida from Colorado! She did amazing! I now have close to 48,000 miles on her, still going strong, and I thank my friend all the time for totaling my Montego LOL.

08 Ford Taurus Limited

We purchased this car about two weeks ago and already have 1750 miles on it. It is a real nice car to drive and comfortable ride. It also has a lot of power, lot more then the 500 that I drove. I live in Middle Tn. in a rural area which is all hills and curves and we are able to get 22.5 to 23.4 mpg. We went to Kentucky and set the cruise at 65 and got 32.8 to 33.1 mpg.

I am a proud owner I love the Comfort I love the size and I love that it's all wheel drive great a celeration with 265 horsepower however at 178000 Miles I get very poor fuel economy 13.5 on a regular day to the gallon shifting you can definitely feel it but it compensates with the greatest acceleration

For the price this is a hard car to beat in the sedan category. Nice ride, well laid out interior, I can listen to my ipod, plenty of room and a huge trunk. For the size mpg is not bad either, but if you have a heavy foot the mpg goes down quickly.
