What Owners Say
"Most comfortable ride of any car I have owned in 66 years of driving."
Anonymous, CO (2008 Ford Taurus)"Very satisfied."
Anonymous, MB (2008 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."
Kenneth B., MA (2008 Ford Taurus)"Acceleration sucks, really. It's dangerous when approaching a highway, or to handle an emergency to avoid a collision."
Ricardo M., IN (2008 Ford Taurus)"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!"
Anonymous, IL (2008 Ford Taurus)"acceleration good,handling good but feels like they forgot the shock absorbers,does not ride like a fairly good sized car should ride."
William F., IN (2008 Ford Taurus)"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."
Anonymous, OH (2008 Ford Taurus)"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."
