2016 Taurus SEL. Forget it. Two gas tanks. No one at FORD dealer told me. 6,000 miles and engine cuts dead at 60 mph. Sensor between tanks malfunctioned. Rear doors fill with water. Rain. Snow. Car wash. FORD has known since 2010 model. Never fixed it and won't help me. Sloshing noise ALL the time. Side view mirrors do not dim at night. . Spare tire was flat. Didn't find out until i had a flat. Humming noise from a/c fan. FORD engine is great. Rest of the car is crap. I'm going back to Dodge. I want a Charger. I want a cool car - not an old man car.

a truly annoying car

This review is based on renting the car for 5 days. They took a decent, comfortable sedan, and tried to stuff it full of annoying electronic features that do annoying things at inexplicable times. It was always beeping and shrieking for no apparent reason. Never did figure it out. The displays are confusing and too bright. The "keyless" key was equally annoying. You didn't have to put it into a switch, so you toss it somewhere, but you still have to dig it out to lock the car, which winds up being as much or more trouble. It did move along comfortably, as one would expect of an American big car [big by today's standards, anyway.] The trunk was nice and roomy. The seats seemed to be leather, so maybe it was an SEL, I don't know. The cabin temperature was always too hot or too cold, and someone thought it was a good idea for any change to the settings to take place over 5-10 seconds, to confuse people further. Would not own this car.

Headlights really bad to the point of being dangerous. Especially in dark wet conditions.
