Bought the car at 80k it now has a little over 100k.

Bought the car at 80k it now has a little over 100k. The sync system is junk and i have had it rebuilt twice and it still malfunctions. Car rides rough even with new tires and shocks i was disappointed in the ride quality of the car. Water Pump went out and its a MAJOR job to replace. Now the power Steering has went out and ford says 4k to fix. Their are a few positives : I like the looks of the car, has decent power (3.5 ecoboost) but id never buy another or recommend this car.

Great Car Keep up on the water pump

This car is essentially a taurus sho in a suit and there is nothing wrong with that. My family owned this car from 2015 till 2021 we put 60,000 miles on it it was a fantastic vehicle obviously if you're buying one of these you want to check the water pump as long as that is done the motors tend to be fine because it's based on a taurus SHO it has decent power and at this point the infotainment is dated but that's to be expected. The interior is decent it's a step up from the Ford and most of the materials feels nicer however I don't like the touch sensitive buttons which I'm sure looked high-tech in 2013 but now they break that being said it's easy to fix with a hammer you don't feel the typical cheap Ford plastic all of it is at least covered in vinyl and everything feels decent to touch it is not the quality of let's say a Mercedes E-Class but it is an improvement from a Ford Taurus. The car doesn't look that bad when you live with it it kind of looks ugly in the pictures but if you get one in the right color it doesn't look terrible once again the same as the Taurus which it's based off of it has decent trunk space and it does sedan things fairly well also like the Taurus it does really well on the highway though it is geared less aggressive you can get a massage doing 85mph with little to no road noise with the audio system in the EcoBoost being adequate enough. The usual issues being the water pump there were some other problems the chrome wheels were starting to chip despite the fact that we tried our best to take care of them and there was rust in the drivers door from NJ and Vermont winters besides that fantastic car they're a good deal right now and they're a nice Factory sleeper

Make sure it has a new water pump before buying

Just hope it doesn't need a water pump because it's gonna cost you around $3500 to $4000. Everything else is great about the car though I wish it didn't have an internal water pump.

Most comfortable and luxurious ride

I was skeptical about having a car with so many features, my dad always said that is more than can go wrong, but nothing ever did. She was a perfect ride, the performance was incredible, plus comfort.

Love the car planning to purchase.

I really like the car I have not yet made my purchase. I have an appointment to take the car to a Ford dealership for a pre-purches inspection ( should do that when purchasing any pre-owned car) I'm glad I found this article so I can find out if these issues have previously been taken care of.

Best car I've owned

The only bad thing I have to say is that the skinny tires made for jarring bumps in the road. Repairs were minimal so I'd call it reliable. The comfort and safety features made the bumps more than tolerable because driving any other car now after having this one is just a nightmare.
