2004 Ford Taurus

Nothing flashy, just a good car

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 78,000

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Taurus is the only car I forsee buying in the future, as I am 6'2" and it feels like the seats are made specifically for me. The look of it is a little boring (especially since its tan in color), but that's not important to me. I was in an accident in my previous Taurus and survived with nary a scratch. The price is right, decent mpg, roomy"

Works well enough, but you can do better

By Xolotl (TX) on Thursday, May 10, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 175,000

Pros: "good parts availibilty, can use ethanol in a pinch"

Cons: "EVERYTHING THAT DON'T WORK!!!"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 4

"I bought this car used with a 170K on it. Mine is a FFV so its maybe a little different but I should have just kept my old car. This one has required a water pump, new battery, a new alternator, the gas gauge doesn't work, and now its just sitting in my driveway since a week ago when it backfired and runs loud eversince. This was after I got a tune-up and oil change so its definitely going to need some work. I was getting about 19-22 MPG and once got 25 MPG when I added ethanol. The lights in the speedometer are burning out now and there is no room in the front for a third person since the center console takes up the space. Save money and buy better car, this one is only good as a beater."

I own this car

Pros: "Compfort simple smooth"

Cons: "gas milage"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7

"This car is a tank, its been awesome it has been driven all over the United states and just curses down the freeway. The V6 runs so sooth and the car is quiet I would defiantly go for a new one, they get better gas millage then these older models. The suspention is the Volvo S40 used back when Ford Motor Co owned Volvo. Great car."

Very Reliable, low maintenance

By Neilbeez (TX) on Tuesday, April 10, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 127,000

Pros: "Very sturdy, low maintenance, reliable."

Cons: "Minor engine issues, chek suspension periodically"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"I've had this car since June 2009 with 99,000 now it's 127000. The FEW problems I've had with it is obviously expected given its a used car. For an average vehicle its performance is exceptional. Maintenance is cost effective...looking to owing a brand, spanking new one as it served me well!"
