2012 Ford Taurus Review

By KBB.com Editors
You'll Like This Car If...

If you like your vehicles on the large side but you're not into wagon-like CUVs or SUVs, the 2012 Ford Taurus will fit you like a glove. The car's bold looks, high-tech interior and impressive perform

You May Not Like This Car If...

The big, slab sides and narrow windows of the Taurus can create a slightly claustrophobic interior experience. Those looking for an all-out performance sedan may find the SHO's AWD and twin-turbocharg

How it Drives

The 2012 Ford Taurus marries the comfortable ride expected of a full-size sedan with the handling and agility commonly found in smaller, more nimble cars. The 2012 Taurus moves through curves with little fuss or worry, going where you point it and giving plenty of notice when its front-driven tires are about the reach their cornering limits. We found the sightlines from the driver's seat better than expected and, with the exception of the rather wide B-pillar located just over the driver's shoulder, had good 360-degree visibility.

Pros: "Styling and quality plus a HUGE trunk!"

Cons: "None"

"Went to a dealership to buy an SUV and saw this car and the looks of it made my wife and I fall in love with it. Great car and well equipped! We love the digital screens (3) instead of the normal gauges. Everything in our SEL model is touch with almost no buttons or dials. When driving this car you get the feeling that you are driving a luxury (Lincoln) car instead of a well equipped ford sedan. Check this car out, it'll be worth your time."

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

"Ive had the SHO for about a month now. I like - The handling, 365 horsepower, and comfort. All the features of luxury auto for under $45000. I can listen to Pandora radio through bluetooth. I dont like - Sync its a pain, somtimes it dosent work. (Unavailable) Some of the outer body pannels are flimsy. Its hard to keep clean.(Black) As soon as i drive after a wash, the dust rolls up and sticks to the rear."
