2013 Ford Taurus Limited 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful
Beautiful full size car. Very quiet. Very smooth. Very comfortable. Love to drive it. Quick. Tranny is like silk. Getting 24mpg in mix of driving. At 60 MPH the tach is at only 1500. Lots of features. AC seats in North Texas are a blessing. Bought used with only 16,000 miles for a bargain price, what some other used 2011s with more miles were going for.
Very satisfied , great car

I got my Taurus in June of this year and I really like it. It's a significant step up from my previous car (09 Cobalt). However, the gas mileage in the city isn't that great, especially when the huge fuel tank is full. I'm usually alone in the car so it's a little big for me. But it would be perfect for a family. I've never seen a trunk so big. The leather seats are holding up well as is the paint. I'm told it has dual roll bars and an anti-theft system. That's nice considering I live in St. Louis.

Purchased this 2013 limited used in 2014 and have owned it about one year. Nicest car I've ever owned. It looks nice, drives well, is quiet and very comfortable, has a huge trunk which is great for family vacations. I haven't had any problems with it. I average about about 24 to 25 MPG which I think is good for a car this size. Things that could be better are rear seat leg room, rear window visibility when backing up, speaker sound for the entertainment system. I changed the speakers to get the sound up to my standards. When backing up I do use the back up camera a lot so I think on this car it's important to get this option. On balance I love the car and recommend it highly. Update: It's now January 2016 and I am still very happy with this car. I've had no problems with it. It now has close to 40K miles. Update : Its now July 2016. I now have almost 50K. I've changed the rear brakes. Still loving my car. Update: It's now January 2017. I'm not loving our new president but at least I still enjoy driving my car. It now has about 55K on it and all is well. Update: It's now July 2017. The president is a lunatic and the country is going the way of Rome but at least I'm still enjoying my Ford Taurus. It now has about 65K and is doing quite well in case you were wondering. And I just settled on a preset for the sound settings so I'm enjoying listening to music during my commutes more then even. Update: It's now January 2018, our president embodies all the worst qualities of human nature, our democracy is getting closer to the precipice with each passing day and the congress and at least a third of the country are willing to follow the fool blindly over the cliff but so far my 2013 Ford Taurus is doing just fine. It's been dependable and I still enjoy driving it. It's got about 75K miles now and I'm wondering if I should sell it and buy a newer car (I'm not a fan of buying new cars, 1 year old cars are a lot cheaper) or if I should just hold onto it as it still looks and drives like when I first bought it back in 2014. Decisions,decisions...... Update: It's now July 2018 and the worlds climate is more erratic then ever, western democracy is in serious danger of collapsing under the pressure of nationalistic movements, the politics of fear and hate is prevailing and the Putin/Trump ticket is gearing up the midterm elections. But fear not because my 2013 Ford Taurus is doing just fine. It now has about 85K miles and I'm happily driving it everywhere while listening NPR and the BBC. If only I could get rid of the the guilt of driving a large American polluting vehicle. Oh the struggles of being a liberal. My next car must be a Prius.

2013 Ford Taurus SE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

I purchased a used 2013 SEL with 26,000 miles. I now have 67,000 miles. The car has been very reliable. Overall, it's fairly comfortable, but fatigue sets in on long drives. Ford did an excellent job of reducing wind noise. Sadly they did a poor job of reducing road noise. I test drove it on new pavement and it was smooth and quiet. However, the ride becomes harsh on anything less that smooth surfaces. Expansion joints, road cracks, bumps all produce a deep pitched clunking sound and you really feel every imperfection. My previous Avalon and Azera both absorbed bumps with barely a notice or sound. Other drawbacks are so obvious they are painful. The console cup holder is not wide enough for two medium sized coffee cups - the lids overlap. One coffee has to be lifted before the other can be picked up. I guess auto engineers don't actually use the components they design. A more serious drawback has me considering trading it in after less than two years - the sound system. It is the WORST sounding stereo system I have had in car since the 1980's. The absurd center channel speaker in the dash board is a little 2" wide range that sounds like a tin can and sounds like it came out of my old transistor radio. Not to mention that it also destroys the channel separation (stereo effect.) The high frequency tweeters mounted in the front windshield columns emit hideous harmonic distortions that are painfully ear splitting even at low volumes. I cannot turn up the volume even a little without experiencing pain when certain notes are hit - literally. A car priced at $30,000 and up should have at least a minimally good quality sound system, but not this Taurus. On the plus side, the exterior design is fairly sporty, and the interior is mostly comfortable. The engine is strong and smooth and I can close to 31 mpg even at 75 mph. The trunk is huge, although the console storage space is not so generous. The cover on the forward console storage compartment is made of hard plastic and it rattles quite a bit. The car is a very mixed bag, but I would not buy another one. Toyota Avalon, Hyundai Genesis or Azera, Kia Cadenza, Chrysler 300, and the newly redesigned Chevrolet Impala are all better alternatives.
