Excellent car, never any issues

Plenty of room both in the interior and trunk. Initially it was my work, then purchased for my wife when assigned a new car. There was never a smoker in the car nor where any pets transported. It was well maintained both during the initial leasing period as well as after we purchased it for our own use.

Is this a Lincoln total luxury

Purchased by chance. Was shopping for an SUV or truck, seen the Taurus Limited there and figures wth I’ll take it for a test drive. That was it!!! Forgot I wasn’t interested in another car and didn’t want another car. Drove like a dream overly fully loaded TOTAL LUXURY and pretty spunky. Excellent in the lovely CNY winters. Very roomy for my family of four and sometimes our dog. Only complaint is the front end started sounding like an airplane figured need jobs but I’ve taken it to 2 different shops and was told there’s no issues ( and they’d love take money). Definitely recommend it.

Overall great 2nd car.

Powerful, looks nice, great interior room, comfy, quiet, love the heated seats. So far 23mpg in all around driving. Field of view is excellent. Don't have to strain your neck to see stoplight out windshield. AWD is a plus in northeast. Very solid vehicle.

So far, so good!

I?ve been wanting a Taurus since the body style was updated and (greatly) improved [in my opinion]. I finally saved enough $ and found one that met my requirements! Price, mileage, condition, location, and features.

Great car!

Great car! Oil filter in a great place. Easy to change. Much easier than my 2000 Taurus. No sparks after hitting the starter. Easy to drive. Fun to drive.

Comfortable, reliable, lots of extras.

Its a very nice ride. It does not have stellar instant exceleration, its a little sluggish seeming in that way. It is a solid vehicle. Only cosmetic issue is rusting around rear wheel wells. Overall, spacious and a nice ride.

The best car I've ever owned

I've owned 1992 and 2000 Taurus cars and liked them. I bought my '08 used in 2010 with 42.000 kilometres on the clock and still drive it today. Regular maintenance is about all I've done,other than having to replace the heater door actuator which apparently is a weakness in the Taurus. I love the roominess since I'm 6ft. 2" and can sit in the rear seats with legroom to spare. I'll drive this car forever since it's so well built. Fuel consumption is very good considering that the car weighs close to 4,000 pounds. Well done, Ford!

Very Reliable and Safe

This car went above and beyond my vehicle needs. Super comfortable, roomy, stylish, and very safe. Performed very well in winter months here in Michigan and the gas mileage was above what they advertised. Highly recommend this car to anyone.
