2008 Ford Taurus

Not a bad car but no thrills here

By slappy (GA) on Thursday, January 24, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 92,000

Pros: "power, size, trunk"

Cons: "transmision"

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

"The car has plenty of power decent handling and a good sterio. the bad is that at 4k miles the transmision made a god awfull sound and has studderd ever since. im now at 90k miles and it is showing its age. the acceleration is sluggish unless i floor it then it surges down the road."

Great car with one exception

By ric (OH) on Tuesday, July 24, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 64,000

Pros: "roomy interior, comfy ride, decent mileage"

Cons: "brakes drag"

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

"Other than brakes drag a bit, which was also common with its predessor the Five Hundred, a great car. Rides as good or better as big car but handles comfortably like a mid size. Good gas mileage, comfortable interior, great visibility, nice sound on radio. Can't say enough good! I bought the car 2 months ago. I had planned on getting a new one, but did not like the feeling of setting in a tank even though the new style drove great. So, I dropped back and got this good used one. A good decision (for me at least). Only problem is noisy brakes as I said. There is a fix, but local dealers won't do it. You have to go to a private garage. It is great vehicles like this that has kept Ford on the move while other companies needed government bail outs. Great car and recommend to everyone."

Cons: "gas mileage, but I knew that"

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

"Everything about this car is great. Lots of power AWD in the snow and ice is fantastic. Great interior space, folding rear and pass seats make it like a truck for hauling all kinds of stuff."

great dependable car; great looks; proud of it

By tex (TX) on Monday, March 19, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 30,500

Pros: "great mpg interstate and stylish looks"

Cons: "only 21 mpg in city"

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

"I can rely on this beauty going fast when I need it and cruising at 28mpg for good gas mileage. I don't like the city 21 mpg but I can live with it because it is sturdy, dependable in traffic and good interior features for convenience like heated seats in winter, navigation system, great audio for sound, good leather, quiet engine, and alot of room in trunk and back seat."

Fantastic car.

By facemaster (SC) on Wednesday, February 08, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 92,000

Pros: "fast, quiet, comfortable, loads of room."

Cons: "resale value."

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

"Easily best bang for the buck sedan on the road. Its a quick quiet and smooth ride. Ive put over 35000 miles on the car with no issues and crossed the country twice with it. Stay away from the factory tires as they cannot handle the torque this engine has. Will eat the factory tires up in less than 12 months and I am not heavy footed."
