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!

I've driven Fords since 1978 (EXP) - driving both cars (T'birds mostly) and SUVs (Explorer, Flex & Expeditions). The Taurus is a 4-door Thunderbird - love the way it handles and quick response to the pedal. I thought I would miss the Flex but I have just as much room and storage area (trunk is huge) in the Taurus. Ford Sync 3 is a big improvement over 1 and 2. Really enjoy driving it.

Awesome car drives like a charm

I took a rental 2017 Fors Taurus from Avis for a vacation from NJ to NC and Tennessee. We covered 1761 miles in total from start to finish. We wanted a tough car for the journey offering great comfort, power, fuel efficiency / economy and this car met all our expectations through out our journey. I loved driving this car, it was very smooth, peppy and we never got tired. I was also surprised by the fuel efficiency it offered. It gave me 40.4 mi to a gallon which is exceptional. The best I had seen was 34.6 in a Camry. I couldn't imagine a car if this size could offer and with all the reviews I read and the promise what the company made which is 30 mi to a gallon, this went far beyond. I double checked all the receipts which I normally keep track during every vacation whether or not I missed something, but I was spot on.i was also amazed with the features this car offered! Thank you Ford Taurus for making our vacation a memorable one!!

I purchased my 2016 Taurus SEL in May of 2017 to replace a string of three Buicks that I owned previously. To my surprise, my Taurus rides just as well, is as quiet, and is more comfortable and gets better gas mileage than my Buicks. I did not buy it for performance, but the engine and transmission are more than adequate. Because it is a sedan, and was over a year old when I bought it, I got a GREAT purchase price, and now, six months later, have absolutely no buyer's remorse for purchasing the 2016 Ford Taurus. Great job, Ford!
