Great Car!

It has been a very dependable, economical and comfortable car to drive. We like it very much and would buy a Ford Taurus again.

excellent car

i owned a SEL with AWD for 9 years and loved almost everything about it. Except ford decision to change the brake proportioning valve and the brake linings. it used to stop beautifully giving you that feeling of being pulled into your seat. Now, just like every other American made car, lunging forward to a stop.

Very solid car, a good bet to make

Mine is very comfortable, it rides smoothly and the seats are not cheaply made. The only problems I've had maintenance wise are the air conditioning and brakes (and rarely at that). The brakes tend to squeak sooner after you get them replaced, which is possibly due to how I drive the car, and the a/c kicks out sometimes, but that's probably because I live in Las Vegas and use it so much. No engine, transmission or body problems. The engine is strong enough to keep up in traffic, acceleration leaves a little to be desired compared to newer cars. I'd say this is a great car to get someone started driving in, or if you're on a tight budget, this thing won't let you down very much. Hope this helped!

This car is reliable

This car is roomy interior and a huge trunk, however easy to parallel park in the inner city. Easy to handle with great cruise control. Good brakes for the heavy foot. Smooth luxury ride.

Reliable and comfortable.

If you are after a comfortable vehicle with great value, this is it. Maybe it look big and bland, but if you want a 4k car that has great interior space, a reliable V6 duratec engine, there is nothing better.

I purchased my 2006 Ford Five Hundred used in 2008, it had 54,000 miles on it, I drove it to work and Baltimore Md several times as well as Sharon, Pa and Warren,Oh recently, the ford five hundred gets great gas mileage and performs well. I have had no major problems with the vehicle, I just decided to sell it after i purchased a new Ford Taurus in December of 2016.
