Great car for beginners.  Good gas mileage, easy to drive, and appealing to the eye.  Not for power, speed, or racing, but all around a solid car.  I got it after my dad got a new car, and it was great.  Already up to 220000 miles, and runs great.  I never get scared of it breaking down.

Pros — Reliability, Style, Beginners, Cheap
Cons — Speed, power

The Ford Taurus is an engineering marvel that changed the shape in automotive history which made the car stylish and intriguing.  the reliability good, power could be improved with a more powerful engine and stronger trans.  the suspension could be tougher, and the car could have been designed with sports car enthusiasm in mind.  for the most part, my Ford Taurus is another mid sized sedan used for every day use and tends to be very reliable, but Ford could have done so much more to appeal to every market to make this car astronomical besides just economical.

Pros — it's a solid reliable car and gets 34 m/g
Cons — the Ford Taurus could have came with on optional high performance engine, suspension, and transmission.

The best thing about my car is that it is very roomy. Your not really cramped. Unfortunately, it's a Ford so I don't know how much longer my car will last. The handling isn't that great. It's really hard to control in the snow and slush. It has needed a lot of repairs over the years, but it might of helped if I had avoided that ditch.

Pros — Comfortable, good gas mileage, and pretty cool looking.
Cons — Bad handling, needed a lot of repairs (no thanks to me), and it's a Ford.

It gets me from point A to point B. Sure it can go 120+ but it takes forever to get that fast. Acceleration will be left to the big blocks. Not much for hp from this 3.0 L V6. The gas mileage is just ok. It feels like im in the middle with the worst set up.

Pros — runs well, low mileage, doesn't attract cops
Cons — slow, lights don't work when its colder than a witchs tit, windshield wipers suck bum

My car is old.  The air conditioner doesnt work and neither does the gas gage. It does get 25 miles to the gallon, and is a very comfortable and dependable car.  It starts right up in the coldest winter mornings.  But, I am so ready for a new car!  Hopefully, next summer I will get a Ford Edge!

Pros — great mileage
Cons — no air and gas gage doesnt work

Performance - slow acceleration, long braking distance, handles well in snow and bad weather
Build Quality - My particular car is in need of minor repairs (cosmetic), no engine problems at all, transmission problems
Appearance - Descent looking car, roomy exterior and plenty of leg room in the back
Cost - 16 gallon tank, and about 200 - 300 miles per tank . . . you do the math at today's prices
Fun - its only fun if you love to drive and don't have any other choice

Pros — AMERICAN, Big, Good Engine, Descent Looking
Cons — Interior "Leather" Falling Off, Door Locks Don't All Work

Drove this a lot while looking for a second car. It accelerates nice, brakes alright, and very very quiet and smooth. Supposedly safe, too.

Pros — safe, smooth, quiet, acceleration
Cons — fan stopped working.
