No Regrets...bigger is Better

I have drove my limited for over 12,000 miles now. I went from an Accord to the Taurus because I wanted a more comfortable car for road trips. The seats are very comfortable and the large center console allows a nice armrest place. Has plenty of power on the highway, Ford could have made the lower end shifts a little closer to avoid a little lagging at low end speeds. Other than that small detail, the car is great for trips and was just what I was looking for. I got 27 mpg driving recently across the country and I usually drive about 89 on the interstate. So far no issues and the car has about 110 k on it.

What a pleasant surprise! I have been a honda/toyota fan, but for work went with the Taurus for size and 6 cylinders. To date, other than maintenance items, only the oxygen sensor went this week! 268 dollars for the repair. I am still on the original brakes! It is a very comfortable cruiser at highway speeds with plenty of punch to enter highway traffic. Only real drawback is the rake is so steep you drag the front plastic apron on every driveway. Oil changes are every 7500, with a blend, so about 70 dollars a change. Great value, good style, you really can't go wrong with this one.

I purchased this car in May 2013, had 35K miles on it. Great on mpg and comfortable. No problems yet. Still have the Taurus in 2017, only 55K miles now, great mileage and ride. Just regular maint. required nothing special.

We purchased our 2012 Taurus from a dealer and it literally looked like a new car even though it is 6 years old. We were extremely happy with the comfort level of the interior and our salesman was 6'4" and he had plenty of head room. We were impressed by the size of the trunk, the engine has plenty of power and the transmission shifts smooth. We paired our cell phone with the blue tooth and setup music. The Taurus has nice blind spot side view mirrors and beeps when get too close to anything backing up. Only disappointment is no GPS. Update - been one year of ownership and the Taurus has been great with no issues!
