Great Looking Fullsize

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.
Water pump replacement cost $2000

2013 Ford Taurus SEL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Car is four years old 85,000 miles. Water pump blew up pouring radiator fluid out. Dealer says internal water pump. Never heard of that before. Pump cost $125, install $1900. This is the first problem I have had with this car. Ford has made a stupid system that only a ford dealer will fix So they can overcharge ridiculously for it. Have to fix it. Can't afford a new car when this is … four years old. Any more ridiculous expensive problems and this car is for sale.
The ONLY car on a market for tall family

2013 Ford Taurus SEL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Superb car! We were on a mission to find a car where our two boys can comfortably fit on a back seat. The problem is - our oldest son is 6'5". After trying literally every full size we finally found the one. I see comments about confining front seats. Not true at all. I love front seats set up. I am 6'2" 220 lbs and have surprisingly lots of room in a driver seat.
Car sits high on a … road. Very fast (I am not talking about sports cars). It is also long and wide. But doesn't look like a boat. Turnaround radius is surprisingly small. It is also very quiet. Great suspension. You can say the car is heavy, and I love it. Lots of steel to protect people inside.
Great car

I am a convert from Honda, this is a good product. Lots of room and gas mileage is good at 31. uses less fuel when AC is off.
