Sporty and comfortable

This all wheel drive Taurus has exceeded my expectations while coming in under budget. I needed an all weather, no excuses vehicle, and Ford nailed it here. I purchased a modestly equipped Taurus, with leather, touchscreen radio, and AWD. Acceleration is very brisk, and cornering is without much body roll at all. The Taurus is very sure footed in a turn, drives no different at 110 or 55 miles per hour, a very stable platform. I commute about 22,000 miles a year and needed a good mix of economy and comfort, and found it in a Taurus. I highly recommended a Taurus with AWD, the best automobile for the money hands down.

Great car for a great price.

I love it! My Taurus has great mileage, is reliable, and the technology they put in new cars makes the driving experience far more enjoyable and comforting.

Most reliable car we've owned, great gas mileage.

Plenty of leg room in front & back, it gets up and goes, great gas mileage (WE travel alot), trunk is huge, comfortable. We got a really great deal on it for it to be brand new.

Great car for retirement!

This cars gets good gas mileage and rides and handles well. The interior of the car has plenty of legroom. Extra options make driving the car that much more enjoyable.

Great car so far

It's not fair to rate the reliability, as I've only owned the car for a month. Based on other reviews as well as forums I frequent, it should be very reliable. I come from a Lexus LS460, so this car has large boots to fill. Power is smooth, ample and intoxicating (I have the SHO). Driving position isn't perfect...seems I can't get it quite right. Cabin is VERY quiet, thanks to acoustic glass as well as insulation. I have a few niggling concerns, none of which are deal-breakers, and include body panels that don't quite line up, paint defects (fish eyes in a couple of places)... that sort of thing. Lets face it, the styling is showing it's age, likely due to the fact that Ford will not be building cars anymore, other than the Mustang. But for me, this car is great...old school power via twin turbos, aggressive styling, and a cocoon type environment that soaks up the road and makes road trips enjoyable.

This is my 4th Taurus Limited Edition.

The Taurus has always been a great car. I traded in my 2008 Taurus Limited Editon for a new 2018. All of the features of the new car is great. I am still learning about them and finding them! I could not be happier with this Taurus.

Nice car with incredible rebates and cash back

This is the second one I have owned. I like the car. It has good power where other cars and trucks struggle. The design is nice and clean lines are in play.

Best driving, quietest and most comfortable car.

I'm so very pleased with my purchase. A while back, I thought the Camry was a better all-around car than the Taurus. Then my son bought his 2015 and we finally bought our 2018 Taurus Limited. Other than gas mileage, the Camry does not come close. My Sony sound system is awesome.

Excellent car so far

Nice ride. Good handling. Quiet interior. The limited edition has everything you need . Much better ride than a fusion. Go ahead and upsize. It?s well worth it
