  Not a good experience - 2010 Ford Taurus
  By Mr. Lemon - November 7 - 1:00 am

  I wanted to buy a Ford, so I traded in my Acura TL and ultimately purchased a Taurus Limited. Based on the reviews, I must have gotten the runt of the litter. The car was in the shop twice within the first three months, and ultimately the entire gas tank was replaced. The car still has a lurch with each gear change, and Ive had two passersby mention that my car is making noises "that it shouldnt". Add to that flaking chrome trim after 10 months being kept in a garage, and I guess you can say I miss my Acura. Just waiting to get into the next model year, Ill take my beating at the trade-in, and Ill go back to the import that I know will last me many years to come.

  Transmission slips since new - 2010 Ford Taurus
  By edgogo - October 7 - 2:00 am

  After reading the reviews here I have come to the conclusion I am the only one who has trouble with my transmission slipping. I have been having trouble since I had 11 miles on the car and almost a year later it still hasnt been fixed. I have been told it needs to have more miles on it or it needs to adjust to the driver. It is scary when you try to pull out into traffic and you give it the gas and you coast into the intersection. It doesnt do it often but you dont want to rely on it to work properly either.

  Big Shift - 2010 Ford Taurus
  By headflex - October 3 - 2:00 am

  This car should have the luxury brands worried. Ive been a BMW owner since 2007 until this year when I made the switch back to Ford. One of my favorite cars Ive ever owned was my 1988 5.0 and now Ford has me back in the saddle again with a smile on my face. Sorry Beamer aside from great performance you have a lot of work to do to meet American bang for the buck!

  Interior design is terrible - 2010 Ford Taurus
  By John - September 9 - 2:00 am

  Who designed the interior? All glitz and looks, poor function and space usage. The front console and dash waste space. Several passengers commented how claustrophobic the front seat space is. HUGE blind spots particularly B-pillar. Buttons galore on center stack with no thought apparently to making them easy to find or use intuitively or without looking. Interior door handles are knuckle-breakers, front door opening has big bump-out along back edge that seems to ALWAYS catch a hip or arm on the way in or out. If seat is adjusted high enough for comfortable driving, its too high to get in and out without hitting my head on the roof edge. Cant tilt wheel out of the way easily either.

  My Dream Ride - 2010 Ford Taurus
  By BReed - September 2 - 5:30 pm

  I had 1988 Sport Thunderbird and nothing has compared to my T-Bird, until Now! I LOVE this car. I opted for all the Bells and Whistles, except for the DVD Navigation. I do however, suggest that every new Taurus owner invest in BLIS. This car does have some blind spots that you really have to adjust to, so BLIS is a necessity as far as I am concerned! The trunk is even every families dream. Did I mention that "I LOVE THIS CAR!" as well as MANY other drivers, I have Never had so many people compliment me on my "Nice Ride" (regardless of age) as in this car!

  Great car - 2010 Ford Taurus
  By garyg - August 21 - 3:39 pm

  I have had my SHO for 7 months and like the car better every day. No defects, no service needed, great performing sedan. Mine has the multi-contour seats with massage which I never thought I would use but have grown to enjoy. The adaptive cruise and blind spot alerts work flawlessly. Originally I bought this as a third car, one that I could trade off with my wife for commuting or go into the mountains for skiing. My main driver was a Porsche. This car is so good on the commute, I am afraid to let my wife try it for her commute. I dont think I would get the car back. Every guest in the car has been equally impressed.

  Ford sho babyboomer new muscle car - 2010 Ford Taurus
  By mikev - August 18 - 3:49 pm

  Had 3 muscle cars back in late 60s, early 70s. The SHO is the luxury version of those. Its lightning fast for a big car and handles amazing easily. Every guy who looks at the interior says one thing, What a Cockpit! I did have to add some side detailing as I didnt want a sleeper I wanted everyone to know it was a SHO. Pickup is amazing smooth giving the fact its turboed. Had a turboed Mazda before with front wheel drive only & was dangerous. Love the soundproofing although miss the rumble of a true muscle car. Love the Sony sound system. Wanted a car built in America so coming out of Chicago was very important. Gas mileage is only negative although knew it going in. All I can say is WOW

  Anyone else have issues with sho - 2010 Ford Taurus
  By can not find problem - August 10 - 10:30 pm

  We bought this car last year 10/09. Have had it in the ford dealership for same problem 4 times, transmission downshifts at all different speeds. Feels like transmission is going to fall out of car. Can hear big thunk and feels like car downshifts. Is anyone else having this issue. Dealership can not figure this out, very upset and unsafe. Every time we bring it in, it does not do it for dealership

  Love my Taurus - 2010 Ford Taurus
  By lglass - July 26 - 1:45 pm

  I purchased this car in March 2010. Not one problem with it. Just love the car! If someone had told me I would be driving a Taurus 6 months ago, I would have said they were crazy. Not your mothers Taurus.

  Happy salesman - 2010 Ford Taurus
  By Salesman - July 20 - 11:27 am

  I purchased a Ford Taurus SEL with everything but leather in June. I already have five thousand miles on the car and I still cant find any problems or complaints. People stop me on the street to comment on the styling and color (Candy Red) I love the car and I am getting 27.2 mpg on the highway and 22 off. Average of 24.8 overall. Car has great power, love the steering wheel controls and the dash design. Interior lighting is nice. I put a lot of miles on and my only recommendation to Ford would be the drivers seat could be a little more comfortable, but it isnt bad. Car rides like a dream, and for the money there is nothing else like it.
