Excellent Car

by business owner from Green Bay, WI on Thu Jan 05 2012

I have now logged 2,000 mile on my 21012 Taurus Limited. Great car. This is probably the best new car I've ever owned ...which includes an Audi A6, and a Chrysler 300. It's big yet handles very well, and its exceptionally comfortable. I' have had no problems with anything. I tend to drive long distances and I drive fast. This car handles very well at all speeds (I haven't gone over 90mph..yet), and well in snow too. The inteior layout fits me perfectly The SYNC system is easy to learn and has been very good. There's plenty of technology in this car, but it isn't burdensome and their engineers have produced a car thats very user friendly, and useful. The last GM truck I owned had a lot of USELESS technology that was either burdensome or it just didn't work very well. This car has been a breath of fresh air compared to GM's technology.

Comfort and Value

by Roger from Augusta, GA on Tue Oct 29 2013

Smooth and quiet the SEL I found online had only 18k miles on it, a clean CarFax, one owner and well maintained. I love the keyless push button start and entry system and the Sync system plays well on the Sony speakers from an 8 gig thumbdrive. The V6 has sufficent power to pass in freeway traffic and still gets an overall 21 MPG on regular gas city/highway. Mine has the red color with tan leather interior, heated power seats and seats five with ease. The huge trunk is perfect for a foursome to go golfing. If you want comfort, handling and a sable ride in a less expensive sedan put the later model Taurus's on you list.

2012 Ford Taurus Review

by Soundman 54 from Chesapeake, Virginia on Fri Sep 22 2017

Overall it has been a good vehicle, but it has had problems with body integrity. The chrome molding around the tail lights has pealed off, both rear doors leak, the truck leaked, I recently had a leak around the sun roof and I have had to replace the battery, all four tires and brakes and the leather seats are starting to crack. The front right fender and left real quarter panel started to loosen up and need to be pushed back in place almost weekly. The car has good pick up and good gas milage for a 3.5 liter V6. I like the car but would not buy another one or recommend it to a friend or family member.

Nice Car!

by Happy Taurus Owner from IOWA on Wed Nov 23 2016

I really like most everything about this car, its so quiet, love the way it handles. Wind noise is virtually none, road noise is a little more noticeable, plenty of power., a joy to drive. Drivers seat and area is a little confined, but I still like the car and its styling. If you were a large person, it may too confining. Test drive before you buy! Unlike others in previous posts that traded it in after a month or what ever.....seriously, they did not look the car over before purchasing.

Love My New Taurus

by Mark1141 from Ohio on Wed Oct 05 2011

I love this car. Just got mine 2 days ago. I got the SEL Model with the Leather Interior, Heated Seats and Moon Roof. The car drives great. Gas Milage is good considering this car is over 4000lbs. The Cabin is very quiet and has lots of space. I also like how the cup holders are hidden until you decide to use them. Makes very clean looking appearance. I have loved the out side of the car since they redesigned it in 2010. The only design extra I don't think I will use much is the Paddle shifters that come standard on the SEL and up. Over all this is a greate Family Car that starts to blend into the area of a luxury car.

Great road car but too big on the outside

by Hands on the wheel from Baltimore, MD on Mon Feb 27 2012

After 5,000 miles in mixed driving I can say the car is performing flawlessly, getting 25MPG overall and Sync is mostly a joy to use. It's a pleasure to drive BUT it has giant overhangs and is just way too long so parking is a chore made more difficult by huge blind spots. I don't love the seats too short bottom cushion or the way a seam pokes me between the shoulders and I hate the center console, which is too wide and with a hard corner that is a lousy place to have to rest my knee. I chose the AWD model and am pleased. It's a great all weather car.
