It's so nice these Bozos at Edmunds are talking bad about this car, because the price only gets better for me. I have had two Taurus in the past and drove them over 10 years each with no problems, other than replacing a starter after nine years. These Taurus are not expensive Mercedes or BMW's, they are solid reliable quality transportation at a good price. After trading my last Taurus for a 2015 Ford Fusion SE, it's so nice to have my Taurus back! This 2018 Taurus SEL is the best car I ever drove.. It is solid, safe, with plenty of power, and it will get 28 MPG on the highway all day long with much extra power. The Taurus has plenty of room for long trips, and you won't have to be pulled out by your wife when you get home from work. The FWD Taurus will get you anywhere you have to go with great traction. Forget the "made in Mexico" Fusion, six recalls in four years, no power, and you need a can opener to get in and out just to save 3mpg and that is if you drive it easy. I'm sure the Avalon may have extra fancy features but you are going to pay for them fancy buttons too starting at $38,000 with no discounts. Yes I give the 2018-2019 Taurus five stars and it won't break your bank account paying for it.

Just bought a 2018 ford Taurus sel color Ruby Red, I love this car. This is the fourth Taurus I have owned and found them all to be very reliable and drivable. I drove a 2009 Taurus for ten years and it was still going strong when I traded. It was bought by another party the same day I traded. Ford offered a really large cash back off the sale price and I got a good amount on trade in, so this car didn't cost me all that much. Would recommend anyone who is looking for a good size sedan to look at the Taurus first.

I owned a 97 SHO way back when with the Yamaha V-8. It was like a toy compared to the current generation of the Taurus. I owned a '16 SHO which I LOVED but had to sell it after my wife died a year ago (too many emotions). I found a CPO '18 SEL at a local Ford dealer last week that I negotiated a great trade and purchase price. The sticker was in the glove box (car has 5K miles and sticker price was $34.8K). I bought it for $23.5K and signed as fast as I could just in case the dealer reconsidered the selling price. My '16 SHO was a great car and this SEL has the 3.5L V-6 with almost 300 HP and that's plenty fast for me. To me it is the best car out there for the $$$ in spite of Ford discontinuing the production of them. I also got the 7 year 100K CPO warranty. Beautiful car and top quality car too.

By far one of the most comfortable sedans I've ever owned or ridden in, handles nicely on the road and despite other reviews I think it handles sharp turns perfectly. This car feels safe. For an SEL model it has get up and go. I am highly satisfied with all this car has to offer!!!!

Best sedan on the road for the price. It is a easy driving, comfortable car. Plenty of leg room and soft seats. Great for long trips, good gas mileage and plenty of power. I have owned several and will buy another if it's made in the USA.

This is the third Taurus that I’ve had, 1994, 2002 and now a 2018. I drove the 1994 for a company I used to worked for. It was great. I now own a 2002 Taurus SEL bought brand new and also a 2018 Taurus SEL which I just purchased. Each at the time were and are a great purchase. I’ve always enjoyed and liked the ride of the Taurus and the features that each one has provided me over the years. It’s a shame that Ford isn’t making them anymore. The 2018 Taurus SEL is a very good and underrated sedan.

I've really am enjoying my Ford Taurus and the 2016 I had before it. It's the perfect combination of being a sharp and reliable and being affordable. I had for Lyft/Uber and I've had numerous compliments about it. I've been very pleased.

I have read several of the reviews, all good. I would just like to know what day of the week was these cars made on? Mine must have been on a Monday after a binge. The 2018 Ford Taurus is good looking, lots of bells and whistles. I loved it when I bought it. However, in the four years I've had it the problems like windshield washer motor going out quickly, the lighted number panels on the front doors fly off, one after the other. Exhaust leak at the headers(won't past inspection in NC), the air conditioner going out on the front passenger side. It was leaking anti freeze from underneath somewhere. It seems like there is always something wrong with this car. I don't think I will chance getting another one. I hate making care payments and expensive repairs!! It's a nice car, but the repairs....not so much!

I had a 2016 Ford 150 reg cab and really loved it. The reason I got rid of it is it, every bump made my neck jerk back and forth so having arthritis made it hard on me. So I traded for a 2018 Ford Taurus. What a mistake. In just 2 months it dropped in value by $12,000.00. Also I noticed the first time I filled it up and got in the car it showed only 3/4 full. When I asked the dealer he said oh that happens with all of the Taurus and it would slowly go to full. Another thing it says you should get 17 to 20 mph daily driving and 27 open road. I have taken this on a trip none stop of 200 miles and couldn't get over 20.5mpg that sucks. My truck I had got 25mpg.
