Overview & Reviews

The Taurus receives a few changes this year, most in the name of simplification. Trim levels have been pared down to just SE and SEL, last year's huge array of packages has been consolidated and a comprehensive wood trim package is now standard on the SEL. Later in the model year, a tire-pressure monitor system will become standard on all models with alloy wheels.

• Low price, roomy interior, good crash test scores, available as a sedan or a wagon.

  Typical Ford family sedan - 2005 Ford Taurus
  By spidermann59 - January 19 - 12:26 pm

  This car reminds me of the family cars I grew up with. The all around everyday, and the two week summer vacation crusier. Room for everybody and everything. The power is there when you need. Handles well. Brakes well. Excellent value. Easy maintainence.

  Taurus Lover - 2005 Ford Taurus
  By Thomas - October 29 - 1:02 pm

  Very clean, crisp corners on this Taurus. Previously owned a 1991 Taurus (Tortoise) as I called it. I love the look and feel of the Taurus. I will buy another but, I will keep this one for some time and enjoy it. Lots of room, very quiet. An all around great car for the money. I would recommend a Taurus to everyone. I wouldnt give this car up for a Camry or Avalon or whatever. I will stick with the Taurus. This is my Cadillac!

  2005 SE - 2005 Ford Taurus
  By 2005 Taurus SE - October 1 - 5:51 pm

  I purchased this car after having a Taurus prior to this. Its a great roomy vehicle for the price. No other car in its class seems to have the same price range, spaciousness, or fuel economy. The seats are not as comfortable as my older Taurus although more comfortable than the Camry. I drive lots and my back and behind my knees are very sore from the design of the seats.

  2005 TAURUS SE - 2005 Ford Taurus
  By Dan J - February 12 - 12:16 pm

  Bought it used as a previous program car with 27,000 miles. Got a great deal! This car has been worth every dollar. Great second car to run around in. Also purchased a extended warranty, kinda sad that I did, it has not been needed thus far. I just do routine maintenance and drive it. Could have paid $4-5k more for a Honda or Toyota, WHY? This car gets the job done!

  Smart Buy - 2005 Ford Taurus
  By Bill T. - February 9 - 8:09 pm

  The used 05 Taurus SE that I had purchased from dealer had approximately 25,000 miles on odometer upon delivery. Vehicle looked and felt brand new. Im very satisfied with the firm but smooth ride, comfort of the power drivers seat, great base stereo/cd system, and especially the very quick acceleration that the Vulcan V-6 has on the open highway. Its not your 24 valve Duratec engine that reeks for traction from a standing start to finish, but a very respectable engine within its own design. I had a slight shimmy in front wheels upon delivery, but proper wheel balancing corrected that problem. Build quality appears second to none, and so far, Im very pleased with the vehicle and my purchase.

  Sufficient transportation - 2005 Ford Taurus
  By Ray - December 1 - 7:58 pm

  I just purchased a former loaner car from the dealer to replace my Grand-Am that became more of an liability than an asset. The Taurus rides smoothly and comfortably. Most people who have had this car say positive things, so I hope my experience is just as good. I originally wanted a pre-owned Focus, but when I test drove the Taurus, I fell in love with it. Hope to get a long life from it.

  By Deidre - August 8 - 10:19 am

  I purchased a Taurus in the in mid-2005 and couldnt be happier. It has nice torque for its class and has great styling. Decent, not great fuel economy. Overall great value!

  Best car weve owned - 2005 Ford Taurus
  By Mike - July 13 - 9:07 pm

  This car is so roomy and quiet that if youre not driving it, you will fall asleep. The trunk is huge. I feel a lot safer in this car than our previous one.

  Good car for the money - 2005 Ford Taurus

  Really good bargain for the money. I bought it new and have had no problems whatsoever. First Ford Ive owned, and will most likely buy another one.

  Great car, great value, and very solid - 2005 Ford Taurus
  By RyanMartin - June 7 - 1:55 pm

  I put about 23-27k miles a year on my car and it has been extremely solid. Cheap car to begin with, but build quality of a higher line. I passed 67,000 miles yesterday and it runs like new. I get approximately 26-28 mpg on the highway and the V6 has lots of get up and go. My last Taurus was sold for $1800 after 10 years of driving and 215,000 miles they are excellent transportation vehicles. Much better value than Camry or Accord.
