HARRY S., MD (2013 Ford Taurus)"Seated in the vehicle I can not see quarter panels/ fenders of the vehicle. It is difficult to see the forward end of the hood."
JAMES M., NY (2013 Ford Taurus)"It has 19" rims and low profile tires which may be the problem, but the car rides like a truck with no springs. Ford MoCo has checked it twice and say nothing is wrong."
Anonymous, NE (2013 Ford Taurus)"I am very satisfied with the acceleration and handling of my 2013 Taurus. The 4 cylinder ecco-boost engine is very responsive. I have had no problems with getting onto the highway and getting into heavy traffic. It seems to handle as well as any 6 cylinder engine I have ever had. And the milage is terrific, with about 21 mpg around town and better than 29 mpg on my latest trip. It also has plenty of caring capacity for me to haul my tools and even 8 and 10 foot pieces of lumber, with the back se"

Anonymous, MS (2013 Ford Taurus)"With the 6 speed V6 this car can accelerate well enough to join the interstate or pass safely."
John E., FL (2013 Ford Taurus)"Nice and quiet, plenty of power."
Bruce L., SD (2013 Ford Taurus)"Acceleration from a stop in the Taurus is adequate. Having front wheel drive makes it a little difficult to hook up in the wet, but it is very responsive. My main issue is that the transmission takes far too long to downshift when matting the throttle to pass somebody. Handling is okay, the steering is good and very predictable. The car is obviously heavy, but it steers and has much higher limits than I expect from such a vehicle. Passing power is very good. The car also handles snow and ice exceptionally well in Michigan winters with simple All Season tires."
