Ford Taurus

"Engine somewhat undersized but does go into passing gear when needed so it is adequate. Car is heavy, stable in wind and rain. It is also AWD and I can't remember one slipping or snow issue. Great car in the winter. Not many accident avoid incidents but car was responsive for my driving style, Hard to say if someone was pushing the car a bit."

"Acceleration sucks, really. It's dangerous when approaching a highway, or to handle an emergency to avoid a collision."

"Absolutely live this car. Extremely conformable touring vehicle. We have not had repairs on this vehicle, just maintenance and some very minor damage repair. Warning though, I have been ticketed several times because it doesn't feel like your are speeding!"

"acceleration good,handling good but feels like they forgot the shock absorbers,does not ride like a fairly good sized car should ride."

"acceleration is good (6 cylinder engine) handles well on curves, don't feel like I'm leaving the road, and no tire squeal sounds coming from vehicle when making slow turns either."

"MY car has a 3.5L ecoboost V-6 engine. It is swift on takeoff, accelerates well in passing situations and provides acceptable gas mileage. It has a Volvo AWD transmission which makes it the best auto I've ever driven in bad weather, especially on snow covered roads. Cruise control works superbly; uphill, downhill and on level roads. The power assisted steering has great road feel and the power assisted brakes are superb; both their stopping power and the pedal feedback. The suspension is adept at smoothing rough road patches and at dompening road noise. The car is also stable at read speeds and doesn't overreact to wind. My car doesn't have a rear view camera but it does have a very useful back-up alarm."

"Very responsive accelerations& steering."

"Poor acceleration."

"Handles well; holds road easily; accelerates smoothly and effortlessly"

"Excellent vehicle around town and on the road. Excellent mileage considering it's size and comfortable ride."

"excellent gas milage-"

"It's all-wheel drive system is preferred in the climate I live within & this one is superb."

"OK - nothing super"

"Excellent !"

"Wide turning radius."

"I have bad knees and the seats are at the correct height to keep my knees from hurting on long distances. Handling and acceleration is fantastic for a car this size."

"Really dislike the transmission, how it shifts is not precise"

"For a tall, large driver, this car offers plenty of room."

"Plenty of leg room in the back seat with comfortable seats gives passengers a nice experience."

"My car is comfortable including: temperature, seat comfort, seat maneuverability, lack of road noise, ease of entrance and egress, power assisted controls."

"Very comfortable large easily adjusted drivers seat.excellent ride. Gettingnoidy with age."

"This car is an extremely comfortable vehicle for long trips as well as around town. Due to seat height it's very easy to enter and get out of. An excellent vehicle all around."

"very comfortable ride, went to this after a 2005 Ford Crown Victoria that was totalled. This ride seems smoother and less boat like."

"Plenty of leg room and cargo space."

"not very quite inside. road noise"

"excellent head and leg room front and rear and huge trunk"

"Find the seats and car very comfortable, At a 100K miles is getting a bit more noise at speed."

"WE FIND THE SEAT VERY COMFORTABLE. THE PADDING IS GREAT."

"It is quiet on the freeway, very little road noise. The seats are comfortable. Acceleration is adequate if you push it. The steering wheel only tilts which means at my 6'2" height I have to hold my arms out straight to grab the steering wheel because the seat is racked all the way back to fit my legs. It leans more in turns than it should. No problems with the climate control."

"Some transmission misses from time to time ( gearing)."

"Comfort is excellent. Road noise, not wind noise, is somewhat of a problem. I wish it were quieter."

"Overall it is a very comfortable and reliable vehicle. I have yet to experience any significant problems on this vehicle to my knowledge. It is a great car to my family!"

"The ride in this car is very rough and noisy, which I didn't notice until I rented a car recently."

"Well designed ergonomically. Easy to get in and out. Good visibility"

"seats are ample size and heated. climate control is OK for heating, but inadequate for cooling, even after installing window tint. noise and ride are adequate. AWD is great on snow."

"Very roomy and comfortable on long rides. Large trunk is great."

"I'm 6'4" and have plenty of leg room as the driver. Someone can sit behind me and have good legroom . Ride is very comfortable ."

"This year 2008 Model Taurus could have had a little softer suspension for city street. It rides smooth on new paved roads."

"This car has a tremendous ride and comfort on long trips. This interior is more comfortable than the newest Taurus. The climate control is very accurate and heated seats are a comfort to my wife."

"It is good car for the money,but it's ride quality is not the greatest"

"This is my second Taurus, and I have never had any problems with either. I love to travel, and this car has the space and reliability that I need to hit the road with confidence!"

"I bought it late in 2008 when the 2009 models were on the dealer's lot. It was an SEL trim and was well appointed and had been on their lot for several months. I wasn't using a trade in, so the deal I brokered wasn't mixed up with a lowball a trade in."

"Very good car. No problems at 115000 miles."

"We purchased the 2008 Taurus new when the 2010 models came out in Mar 2009. Between the recession and difference in model years, we got more than a third off the sticker price. It's been a very good car, but we need AWD and are now looking for a replacement."
