Perfect Car for Me

I've had a BUNCH of cars - a little fickle. Most of them have been Fords, not because I don't like other cars, but because I usually find that I get more for my money through Ford. In the Ford family, I've had two Explorers (probably my favorite automobile of all I've owned), a Thunderbird (old style), a Fusion, a Mustang and a Focus. My husband has a Bronco and is on his second Expedition. All good cars. My preference is to drive an SUV. When gas prices went up, I scaled down, but found that a smaller car didn't suit me, especially when I had to put a car seat in the back for my granddaughter. I purchased the Taurus used with about 24K miles on it. I've had it for a year and a half, and I have 62K mile on it. I have a very long commute to work, so I like to be comfortable. The toys aren't bad either. The Taurus is perfect for all that - it gets good gas mileage, plenty of space and a trunk that will hold a couple of bodies. Love the way it handles. I have a rear camera on mine, and I have to say that I would really struggle backing up without it. The ONLY one tiny thing that I don't like (and it is a very small issue) is the directional stick. It's got variable options so you can blink the directional only once, three times or full on. I find that whenever I want to turn the signal full on, I guess because you have to push it a little harder, I frequently end up flashing the person in front of me. I have to really concentrate on making sure I don't pull forward on it with my finger when I'm putting the direction on. Stupid, I know. Other than that, not one complaint. If I end up buying another sedan when I'm ready to trade, I would get another Taurus. Perfect car for me!

The water pump replacement cost is $2,000.00. This is ridiculous.

I love this car. It is fast, comfortable and has great bells and whistles. Any person I tell I got a Taurus they say really? Then they sit in it and see the features they cannot believe they did not get one. Had a friend who went out and got one (well the SHO version) after they were in mine. Having said all of that there are some issues. Water pump at 65000 miles went, no problem right, not so fast $1,600.00 because you have to lift the engine or some nonsense like that. I see other reviews of same issue and for even more money to fix. Recently 95k known fuel pump problem pops up. So two time in last 30k miles that tow truck has to come get me. Lousy warranty 3 year or 36k. Did I mention SYNC? I have a love hate with my infotainment system. On the positive it is easy to use and does everything one could want. (except no dial to change stations this is dumb) When it works it is better than any system I have used (Mercedes, Honda, Range Rover etc). I mentioned the when it works part? Sometimes it just doesn't. Freezes, reboots won't connect blue tooth, etc. Cannot say this is constantly occurring, but certainly enough to notice and be annoying. All that aside, I hate myself for saying I would get another one. I should be smart and get the Accord or Camry, but I drive a lot and I enjoy the comfort and ride.

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

I'm really happy with my purchase of this car. I went with the mid-range SEL and opted for the leather option. Really happy with the car. I have the front drive with 18 inch wheels. It offers a smooth ride, but the wheels still look good, so it's a nice balance. The engine takes a little getting used to as it doesn't feel very torquy in the mid range. This is easily solved with a dose of throttle, a the engine can rev pretty high. The interior is great and I've gotten a lot of compliments from occupants who've said "this is a Taurus?" I'm probably the only 25 year old who bought a Taurus, but am really happy with it. Great bang for buck and it really stands out on the road.
Good looking great value

The car feels solid when I drive it. I like the driver position. It feels more like a sport sedan than a land barge. I'm 6 ft 220 and fit perfectly.long trips are a pleasure with no fatigue. I feel safe in this car and it's stylish in all black. a lot of features for the money. Fuel economy is good. I like the my ford touch system. Traded my 8 year old f150 which was fantastic and this was the only vehicle that made me even think about trading for.I'm very pleased
