| “Meh” all in all a decent car, nothing special about it. Good amount of cargo space, but the rear hatch could definately stand to be bigger and the cargo space should be a bit wider.
Pros —
Comfortable, decent mileage
Cons —
Mileage drops a lot between highway and city (30mpg down to 20mpg)

| “Solid Average Daily Driver.” The Taurus has been in production since the 1980's and is a very solid and reliable vehicle. The engine has not changed much since the first-generation Taurus, and the option of a 200hp DOHC V6 is available as an upgrade for the stock 155hp OHV V6. The transmission is a 4 speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The SE edition of both the sedan and wagon have 16" aluminium rims and 4 wheel anti-lock disc brakes. On the inside, a 6 speaker Mach audio system come standard and a 6 CD changer is available. There are also 2 12 Volt cigarette lighter/power outlets for other accessories. It also comes standard with cruise control, power windows, locks, power 8-way adjustable driver’s seat, limited slip differential, and other features commonly seen with other vehicles in its class.
Pros —
Very large cargo space in the back, which can also be easily converted into a seating area for 2 additional passengers, and fairly spacious, even in the back seat. Extra (lockable) storage space underneath the main cargo area for smaller items, and plenty of space in the center console area. It can legally carry 8 people, and gets great fuel economy on the highway. Finally, the Taurus handles well in all weather conditions, even deep water, mud, and snow. Very smooth ride especially on the highway and solid braking in all conditions.
Cons —
The acceleration seems somewhat sluggish for a 200hp engine, and the fuel economy is barely 20mpg in the city especially when the air conditioner or defroster are on. Also, even though the car is fairly spacious, if you are over 6’ tall, it might be a little tight sitting in the front passenger seat, since it only goes back so far. The power steering pump can be heard when turning the wheel hard, and the stock Firestone tires are horrible, even when the road is dry.
