2010 Ford Taurus consumer reviews

we purchesed the car new and now have 17k on this vehicle. The car has been in the shop on six different occasions within 10 mos. We have had multiple issues with brakes, starting and fit and finish. I think this car is good in most aspects but Ford seems to be shoving these out the door with little quality control.

I owned a 2005 Ford 500 ltd. When I saw and then drove my new 2010 SEL Taurus w/ all the bells and whistles plus it came w/the standard SHO Candy Red w/the 19' rims. It was a done deal for me! Ford did it so right. It's a family car but, dad can have fun while by myself when using those paddel shifters on the steering wheel. I do wish that Ford put the 300hp motor that's outta the mustang in the SEL as an option and leave the 263hp to the regular Taurus or Taurus SE (rental fleet).

I was sad to lose my 03 Volvo S60, but it had reached the end of it's life cycle. The Taurus is a much better product. The '10 Taurus (nee Five Hundred) was the first new product developed after Ford bought Volvo. This car, like much of the Ford lineup, has really benefited from that partnership.

This car is incredibly reliable! I have owned this vehicle 14 months, and driven 34,000 miles, without a single incident. The right front wheel bearing did have to be replaced (defective) but not one single failure of any other component or system. 29 MPG on highway, and very quiet and comfortable. That is as long as you are a front seat passenger. They let the adolescents loose in the design department on this iteration, and in the process of making it look like a Hot Wheels imitation they sacrificed any real back seat room on the altar of zoom zoom. This car weighs nearly two tons, and has a wheelbase rivaling that of full bore luxury cars. Why the subcompact back seat accomodations? Terrible! Another problem with the juvenile design is the "gun turret" effect from the chopped roof and raised beltline. Visibility to the rear on this thing is non-existent. Always be speeding up when changing lanes, or you will be cutting people off ALL the time. You simply cannot see out the rear, and side vision is horribly compromised. OK, enough griping (hopefully Ford will fix this stuff in the next model). The car drives fantastic! Great engine with good response and torque through a wide range of engine speeds, and a well matched transmission to make the most of it. Truly a pleasure to travel in on long trips (front seat only again).

The comfort is there, the room is there, the power is certainly there. This car is the greatest one I've own out of the seven different cars before it. I got a good deal on the Limited FWD. It get a lot of looks as well.

I Never thought I would own a 4 door auto but this one is GREAT. Looks are outstanding and the performance is great. I would highly recommend this car to a friend.

I have owned lots of different makes of cars through the years, but have always come back to Ford products. I will not be trying any different brand in the future. This is the best car I have ever owned. Super riding, lots of room and very good gas mileage. To top it off, it has terrific styling! Love the heated and cooled front seats! Heated rear seats too! SYNC is the best electronic item ever added to a vehicle. If you have not driven a Ford product with SYNC, I would highly encourage you to do so.

I have had my car for about a month and I love the way it drives and rides. I find it very comfortable too. My only complaint is the lack of visibility out of the back. I didn't get the rear camera with my SEL but I think it could be a worthwhile option.

Purchased a LTD with 303A Option package, Moonroof,Adaptive cruise,Nav. System,Multi-Contoured seats This car is smooth riding and very quite yet responsive and fun to drive. I am pleased with the many features that make griving the car fun and simple the adaptive cruise is wonderful in traffic on Xpress Way.

This car has about every feature one could want. The 3.6L V-6 may be slightly underpowered for a car of this weight. There is lots of downshifting on an uphill. But it allows the engine to keep the lowest RPM possible under all conditions (usually between 1000-2000 unless accelerating). Inside is very quiet and comfortable.
