  2009 Taurus leaps above 2010/2011 model - 2009 Ford Taurus
  By steve - July 25 - 9:33 am

  Purchased used 2009 Taurus SEL w/only 2700 miles on vehicle. I am 64 and my wife is 61", this car gives us both great room. We are getting 18-20 city, 20-22 combined, and 29-32 hwy! Car rides really well. I had a 2001 sable and loved it, the 2009 Taurus is a big step up! Loved the 2009 Taurus, went back a month later to look at 2010/2011 Taurus, what a let down! 2010/2011 Taurus has MUCH SMALLER interior! Front seats are cramped, and the back seat. They are a joke. In our 2009 Taurus I can sit in the back seat, with the front seats all the way back, and still have 3-4 inches of clearance between my legs and the back of the front seat! Big letdown Ford in the 2010/2011 Taurus!

  Exceeds expectations - 2009 Ford Taurus
  By Steve - November 20 - 9:48 am

  I rented an 09 Taurus early this year and, once I got past the stodgy styling, really loved it. I was waiting for the 2010 model to make a purchase because, from the pictures Id seen, the 2010 just looked racier. But when I actually saw a 2010 I found it lacked the visibility and interior spaciousness that are what attracted me to the 09. I now have over 5,000 miles on the car. Quiet, roomy, effortless to drive. Best back support and seating position of any car I have ever owned. Synch feature is great for hands free phone conversations.

  Great Car - 2009 Ford Taurus
  By Matt - November 7 - 9:48 am

  This is the first new car my wife and I have ever purchased, had always purchased year old cars before this one. The Taurus is very smooth and comfortable car... and big, which I like because it will probably be big enough to keep us from purchasing a minivan (ugh) in the future. Just took the first long trip and got 33 mpg with a little tailwind and 27 going back into the same wind. For a 4000 pound car, I think thats more than acceptable. My wife drives it to work and gets about 20-21 around town. One thing I like about this car is the interior room. Im 64" and my wife is 6 and we both appreciate that Ford recognizes that there are people in the world taller than 58"!
