2016 Ford Taurus consumer reviews

Purchased our 2016 Ford Taurus SEL with the 201A Sync3 package in April 2017. Our vehicle cost was $22,500 before tax, title, etc after taking advantage of Ford Credits $4,900 incentive. Due to slow sales this is an extremely large and well equipped car to obtain at midsize car prices. This was a "want" purchase... (Be mindful that it shares the same platform as the Ford Explorer) In owning it I have come to realize that it is not a true car but rather a crossover with a trunk and in viewing it that way I truly love and understand the car. I do believe we are fooled into assuming it is a true car while its cramped front seating and wide center console certainly dictate to your body that it isn't - It's like window sitting in coach on a cross country flight aboard a 737 with a large box between you and the other passenger. Ford should post a warning that front seat occupants may experience leg cramps and blood clots on long drives - it simply has that feel. (Yes - it can feel that cramped and may even cause anxiety attacks if you dwell on it - remember its a crossover with a trunk and not a car and you will find peace and understanding with it) Now in marketing it as a weird crossover with a trunk I think it will sell well with women. Here is my why list: The high belt line offers excellent privacy - Male Gawkers will not see much of you There is a true feeling of safety in the car - I can't deny this at all Great crossover like ground clearance The driver seating position is high like a crossover Its exterior size is intimidating - It's not a pushover on the road High cowling intimidates many drivers viewing it from their rear view mirrors Jaw dropping trunk space - No one can deny this Great and much needed rear back up cam - If any car ever needed one this is it Useful and much needed blind spot side mirror integration Your very own police car My final thoughts Large intimidating well mannered and quiet car with sub-par interior space and comfort. Great for most commutes but I can not recommend it for half day journeys due to its cramp front seating caused by a needlessly wide as well as tall center console and a thick inward pushing B pillar that wraps over the heads of front occupants like a fuselage would a windowed seated passenger on a commercial flight. Men and Women Purchasing this car Men hovering around 6 foot may have issues with comfort but do keep working those seat adjustments until you find that sweet spot. I am a guy and it is work transitioning it from her to me but that sweet spot is obtainable. Women please seek this car out as I truly believe it will exceed your expectations. What I perceive as cramped is comforting to my other half, I love her driving this car and for once I love being the passenger After just 4 days of researching this vehicle I found the middling SEL model with just the 201A Sync3 package to be the best fit for us. Purchased to partially relieve my Venerable 2011 Hyundai Azera Limited of some family hauling duties. The dealership maintained Azera still rules the roost with its comfort, prompt power delivery and sheer eagerness to take on the 13+ hour drives from Newark, De to Kenosha, Wi and back. It is my opinion that the Taurus would require driver swaps for this type of family travel.

Full size car, so the grandkids have room. Cost of operation good. Has power and the looks of cars costing more.

I really enjoy this car. The stereo,seats, quite ride. the visibility isn't the best, but I can adapt to that.

Best riding car for the money. Loved the look of the car for years. Test drove one and fell in love with. My wife took it on a weekend trip and now she will not give it back.

My wife and I are retired and are really enjoying traveling in this full-sized sedan, the Taurus SEL. It is fully loaded and very easy to drive. We will be putting many miles on this car and truly believe it is up to the task. Looks like a walk-off home-run to me!!!

Although I haven't had this car very long, I really love it and am extremely happy I purchased it. It's comfortable, beautiful, and has great performance. I also feel very safe driving the car.

The beauty and style of my new Ford Taurus leaves me with no words. This car is so awesome if I must say. Trying to stay out of it right now is so hard because I girl needs her sleep LOL. Anyway I would recommend the Ford Taurus to any one that want to purchase a new car. I almost forgot the most important part of this (the looks I get from other drivers when I'm on the road) my Ford Taurus truly turns heads!!!!

2nd sho I've owned great sleeper.comfortable and good looking car. Solid black beautiful car.looking forward to driving this car for years to come.
