Overview & Reviews
Many changes are in store for the 2000 Taurus. Styling is the most obvious, with a new look for both the front and rear. Improved safety comes from a new airbag-deployment system, adjustable pedals, seatbelt pre-tensioners and child safety-seat anchors. The ride has been made more comfortable and the powertrain has been updated for more power and less noise. The V8-powered SHO has been dropped from the lineup.
- New styling, safety features, more power, good value for the money.

great performing sedan - 2000 Ford Taurus
By walt - January 20 - 4:51 pmLeased then bought this 2000 Taurus. 24 valve DOC engine. Flat out flies. Drive 50 miles round trip to work. Have loved this car--now has over 110K on it and performs like new. No tune up until 98K. Power seat, power mirrors are great. Not kidding--even with all those miles--runs like new. Have replaced struts and front springs, but that was after 100K.

A nice surprise! - 2000 Ford Taurus
By mike32779 - November 22 - 9:42 pmThis was originally my company car. I picked it up new in 7/00, drove it for 3+ years, and bought it from GE Fleet Leasing at 60,000 miles when it was due to be turned in. I got a new company car (2003 Impala) and gave the Taurus to my son. Hes still driving it, and there have been no major breakdowns or failures. I am really very impressed with the vehicle. A winner!

Duz it all.... - 2000 Ford Taurus
By Hutch7 - September 24 - 3:48 pmPicked this wagon up cheaply with low miles. So far so good comfortable, handles well and with the 24V Duratec, is really pretty quick for a mid-size wagon.

Perfect car for Anybody - 2000 Ford Taurus
By JCD II - August 29 - 8:25 pmMy mom bought this car new. It is so comfortable to drive and operate. I am 16 and I know plenty about cars. My mom bought a new 93 Taurus at the same dealership we got this one. We hated to see our old one go. It had over 200k on it, yet it still ran perfect. The Taurus is perfect for long vacations or just to go to town and back. Either way, this is the best car we have ever had. When I graduate in 2008 Im taking this car to college. Its probably going to have 200k on it then, but I dont care. I have faith it wont skip a beat. Its been such a reliable car, I can always be sure that when I turn the key, the ol motor will start right up. I will always recommend a good ol Ford Taurus.

The Best Car on The Road - 2000 Ford Taurus
By aw - April 13 - 2:03 pmI purchased this car from my father this last year and I love it. It has been taken care of and drives and looks just like it did when it was new. If you are looking for the most bang for your buck the Taurus is the right car for you.

Good car for less money. - 2000 Ford Taurus
By Jack White - March 23 - 3:58 amThe ride and handling for the price was much much more than I had anticipated. The mileage is over 30 on the highway and about 22 in the city with the air conditioning going most of the time in Florida. The mileage is actually better now at 105,000 miles than it was at 20,000 miles. The room inside is very generous. The look and paint is excellent even 6 years later. The depreciation is average for an American car so for the money a used 2000 Taurus is a good buy in my mind. The problems over the years were less than average for an American car also.

Good, but junk - 2000 Ford Taurus
By Ken - February 8 - 8:02 pmThis is a powerful car. Fun to drive. Took it from Wisconsin to Arizona with no problems. But ... this thing is junk. Ive had to put so much money into this thing. Brakes, fuel injectors, air conditioning, tie rods, steering column, had it in for transmissions problems 5 TIMES, engine noise (dealer cant find the problem). As soon as I hit 75,000 miles, WHEN THE WARRANTY WAS UP, the front end started making noise. Oh also, the steering makes a loud squeaking noise. Typical Ford product. Nice car, if you have the money for regular maintenance. By the way i only have 75,000 miles on it. My Chevy has 182,000 miles with no major problems.

My reliable used Ford. - 2000 Ford Taurus
By Eric Wehrenberg - January 19 - 3:41 amThis is by far the BEST used car that I ever purchased. The ride is smooth and the car is mechanically sound. Gas mileage is as high as 28 highway but on average is in the area of 26 mpg. Even around town the Taurus is good on gas. I am truly pleased with this car. Visibility is good and the truck space is large. Seating is comfortable and car seats fit in the back without difficulty. I would recommend the Ford Taurus to anyone who is looking for a reliable used vehicle.

Better than a Honda or a Toyota! - 2000 Ford Taurus
By Andy - October 12 - 7:43 pmOkay, if you are looking for a great affordable car this is the one. My wife and I traded in her Element (after numerous problems) for the Taurus and I cannot pry her hands away from the keys. We go everywhere with the Taurus and have never had one issue with it. Right now we have 59K on it and it runs like it rolled off the showroom floor. To compare my in-laws have a 2000 Honda Accord with the same mileage that has had to have the water pump replaced twice and was leaking oil at the seals. And who would want a Camry with the sludge and seizing engine problems that were an issue for 1996-2002?!?! If you are looking for a safe and reliable vehicle look no further!

Good Value So Far - 2000 Ford Taurus
By J.K. BURGE - April 27 - 5:33 amI bought my 2000 Taurus LX new. So far I am very pleased with it. I currently have 44,000 miles on it. I also have a 2001 Toyota Corolla, which is a good car on the city streets, but on the highway the Taurus is far superior.
