  Decent car for the price - 2007 Ford Taurus
  By gary5639 - August 10 - 12:26 am

  I bought this car with 32K miles for $10,000. Now its got 143K miles. Over the years its had some problems, an alternator, wheel bearings, idle valve, and an AC compressor. Ive had it in 14 states and lots of highway miles. Ive used it for business and now its my sons car. Overall it has not had a easy life but done very well. Yes there are better cars, but for the price this is a great value. The AC cools good in the Texas heat, it rides and drives good and is comfortable. It will get about 20mpg around town and 26 / 27 on the highway. Good value.

  Great car....except - 2007 Ford Taurus
  By smartaspaint - April 19 - 9:56 am

  So, there seems to be a common issue with this particular model of car. Sometimes, the car will simply die while youre driving it. I took it into an auto parts store, they tested the battery and couldnt find anything wrong with it. I took it into the Ford Service center, they tested the alternator, battery, fuel injector, the onboard computer, looked for updates to any of the programming, and everything tested out fine. Couldnt find a thing. Im taking it to an electronics specialist incase somethings wrong with the ECU but I saw the "10/10" reliability ranking and had to write something since complete failure randomly while youre driving is kind of a bad thing.

  Love Car, Transmission Problems - 2007 Ford Taurus
  By 07se - July 28 - 10:30 am

  I purchased my 07 Taurus in Feb with 77000 miles. Its a nice riding car and I had no issues with it until recently, the transmission went on it, and my the warranty was expired. Fortunately I was able to work out a solution with the dealer and had it replaced with a used transmission and a 6 month parts and labor warranty. I would recommend this car, but if you are considering buying one, I would suggest having the transmission checked first for your own peace of mind, I see that other reviewers have had the same issue.

  Best Car for the Money Invested - 2007 Ford Taurus
  By Spuddy - November 18 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car with 49 K on it from the dealer in my home town. I have taken several long trips in it and find it to be comfortable to drive long distances. I have been avg 42 MPG (IMP) with it, on the Hwy with cruise on at 55 MPH. This car is terrific for long trips, loads of trunk space and fairly comfortable when loaded with 4 (adult) passengers.

  You Wont Be Disappointed. - 2007 Ford Taurus
  By WhiteTaurus - July 22 - 3:28 am

  Skeptical of this car at first, Ive come to love it. Nearly 70k miles, and this car has never been to a mechanic for any major repair. A very reliable vehicle, with only one strange moment when the engine stalled at a stoplight. Fords Vulcan V6 makes 155 hp, and has been surprisingly quick when I pushed it. Fuel economy can be as high as 32 mpg on the highway, with an average of 24 mpg in the city. Ride comfort is decent. Interior is comfortable, with well designed instrument panels and easy-to- clean upholstery. Stereo is good, but the ability to install an MP3 player connection would make it great. Exterior styling is a little bland, but its grown on me.

  First thoughts since buying a used SEL - 2007 Ford Taurus
  By Pete - July 16 - 11:33 am

  My 1998 Mercury Sable GS, which I bought 3rd owner, for $1000, and lasted 4 years, had to go bye-bye. It was BEAT! but the engine and tranny were excellent. So what do I get my wife now?? We happily found a 2007 Ford Taurus SEL, sure it has 73G miles, but it runs and looks excellent. 2nd owner, was an old fellas car, did a lot of trips. Black exterior, Tan leather interior, all options I can see, power everything, sunroof, 6CD changer. And after a couple of trips we are averaging 31 MPG out on the Highway! WOW! Doesnt matter if windows and sunroof open or AC is on, same mileage. Ride is terrific for us. Nice seating. Roomy (I am 6-2 260!). Smooth at a Cruise locked 55 MPH. Quiet.

  Good, Basic Vehicle - 2007 Ford Taurus
  By TaurusSaurus - July 6 - 12:38 pm

  Purchased in early 2007, with 20k miles. Have driven it heavily for 3+ yrs and have had one issue, clogged windshield wiper fluid pump (~$20 @ Auto Zone). Despite claiming to only have 153HP it performs much better, quick acceleration, good stopping power, smooth shifting, etc. A good, BASIC car for every day driving - ton of room for people/cargo, decent gas mileage, quick cooling ac, quick to heat in winter, cheap parts, and easy ability to perform your own maintenance. At 70k Ive put on new tires and brakes, a new serpentine belt (15 min job if you know what youre doing), & stay up to date with oil changes/other maintenance. Good car, and a lot cheaper than equivalent.

  I luv my Ford - 2007 Ford Taurus
  By Bluebell - April 4 - 7:48 am

  This model starts up every time. Enjoyed driving it Winter of 2010. Good gas mileage. I keep up with the maintenance schedule. It runs smooth up to 80 mph with no shaking or trembling.

  Wont Start Sometimes - Why??? - 2007 Ford Taurus
  By MichiganDriver - February 1 - 4:11 pm

  I really liked my 07 Taurus for the first 9 months I owned it. I purchased it in Feb. 09 with 35,000 miles on it. I purchased an extended warranty also. During November 09 through now (Feb. 10) I have had issues with the car just not wanting to start! You can clearly hear it trying to start, but it just wont catch. In fear of it "flooding", I remove the key and wait a couple minutes before trying again. It seems to take 2-3 tries before starting properly. The dealership cannot figure out the problem since it does eventually start. This started to happen about once every other week but now about once a week. Hate the idea of possibly being stranded one day.

  Transmission questionable. - 2007 Ford Taurus
  By Dave - December 3 - 2:17 am

  In Dec of 07 I purchased a used 2007 Ford Taurus from a Ford dealer. In Dec. of 08 the transmission went and the dealer tells me the warranty has expired. 2 years old & 44,000 mi and I have to pay for a new tranny. My mechanic tells me that the factory tranny in this car is not good. Either way I suggest the extended warranty.
