Excellent Value for a V6 Family Sedan-Still Great

2016 Ford Taurus SE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

After owning this vehicle for over 95,000 miles, I still love it. Shopped a variety of sedans with V6 engines before deciding on our 2016 Taurus SE. We could not be happier with the quality and features relative to the price. Huge trunk, roomy and great pick-up!

Don’t believe the “pros”

I have been reading review after review of the so called “pros” bashing this car. Don’t let their bias distract you from a sharp, smooth, quiet pleasurable ride. This is a great car. It’s spacious (I’m 6’1, 215lbs) Even if your bigger than me, you’ll fit in any seat. If your smaller than me, get ready for comfort. It’s quick. No, it’s not going to break a land speed record, but let me tell you-I’m coming from a 2015 Fusion SE 2.0 Ecoboost. This is a welcome change to the jarring, snappy, midsize “discount” Ford. I also have a 2014 F-150. This is my favorite of the 3. The AWD is unshakable. It’s not a race car, don’t expect it to be. I have a wife and a 10 month old in a rearward car seat. This car is perfect for us. Forget the naysayers and the “pros.” The Accord is boring. The Camry is uninspired. The Impala screams “I’m old!” The Charger...lol-don’t get me started. Go for the bull. She might be dated, but she’s tried, she’s true, she’s American. UPDATE: We have had our Taurus for 6 months now and put about 10k on it. Lots of family trips. Just recently took a 5 hour ride to Canada. Tons more luggage space that the Buick I rented earlier in the summer. The ride is like being on your sofa at home. No regrets on this buy. UPDATE: 19,000 miles in (23k on the clock) Still not a complaint. Great car. Pearl white with tinted windows looks great for a family sedan. Loving the Taurus.

First Time Ford

2016 Ford Taurus Limited 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
14 of 14 people found this review helpful

Huge Trunk, Fold down rear seats,rear heated seats option,sunroof (make sure you also get the windscreen as it cuts wind noise at least 90% at highway speeds)Nav system works fine (make sure the dealer has updated it to the latest maps) 20 inch rim tires are fine on average roads ,but stiff on less than average roads (you'll notice a harder ride,I don't mind but some may not be accustomed to such a ride) Smaller rims like the 19inch will give less of a bump. At the end of the day I like it ( the Taurus Limited) better than the Lexus 350 That I traded in on the Ford. MPG varies but say 20 mpg city 29 mpg highway . Reg Gas

Comfort and Dependability

Cabin design not for everyone. SYNC 3 system is absolutely top notch. Cavernous trunk. Safe, solid and dependable. I have had zero issues with the car in 2 years. For a large car the mileage is good (22-23 mpg, commuting and around town, and I’m heavy on the gas pedal). I find performance with the base engine to be very good. I’m a large person (6’5, 260) and I have plenty of room. A good all-around sedan.

The best car I have ever driven. Before this one, I leased the 2013. Fell in love instantly. It out performs even the Mustang. It’s big, roomy, has all the bells and whistles. I feel extremely safe in this vehicle. Acceleration is awesome and it brakes on a dime. I will always be a SHO girl!
