Overview & Reviews
New for 2003, the SEL trim level offers a unique instrument cluster with a satin-finish background, as well as Imola leather trimmed seats and dark wood trim. You can now get a real wood- and leather-trimmed steering wheel, and you'll want to note that power windows and locks, as well as tilt steering and floor mats, are standard on all models.
- Excellent value for the money, high level of safety equipment and crash protection, available as a sedan or a wagon.
- Rental car stigma, poor expected resale value, not as refined as most other midsize sedans.

Ford SES - 2003 Ford Taurus
By xpcdr4d - November 12 - 6:49 pmI bought this 03 Taurus SES about a month ago. So far I am very pleased. It cost me KBB wholesale from a rental car co and had 28K on it. Very comfortable driving and it got 31.5mpg on a recent trip to my amazement. Id buy another one in a heartbeat.

My review - 2003 Ford Taurus
By twintx - October 20 - 10:00 amThis is my second Taurus. It is very dependable and reliable. I have never had major problem with either car. They also have 5 star safety rating which is important to me. Lots of room for a mid size car.

I LOVE this car! - 2003 Ford Taurus
By delsinger - June 1 - 2:00 amIve only had this car for about 1/2-year but it has totally exceeded my expectations. I never expected to get a family car that was so comfortable, dependable and still visually appealing with a lot of features for such a small price. ($10,995 for an SES with 14,000 miles) We recently started looking at other cars in the same class for my husband but nothing has come even close to the value of the Taurus. A dealer offered us a 2003 Sebring which was a tight squeeze, not as visually nice and with less features with 14,000 miles on it for $17,000. We bust out laughing. Wed buy another Taurus instead and use the money we saved to pay off the first one!

Perfect Family Sedan - 2003 Ford Taurus
By 8AMAKTA - March 25 - 2:00 amI traded in my 2001 mustang for this car, its been a blessing. My family needed the extra room for my newborn son and 4year old. My taurus has room for six which helps when you carry your friends or family. As a previous owner of a 96 taurus I love the way they drive and the space they have inside. Fuel economy is great and the A/C system is better than my 98 Honda Civic.

Great car, Great Price - 2003 Ford Taurus
By Kelli in Cal - March 10 - 2:00 amI have test driven everything on the market. I drove a Ford Taurus as a lark and to my surprise, loved it! Truly one of the nicest cars out there and the price was fantastic. Very solid feeling, safe, and yet the SES has zip and great feel of the road. I suggest if you are in the market for a great used car that you drive this. Youll be surpised! A very under- rated car.

Even great crashed - 2003 Ford Taurus
By schenkelini - February 16 - 2:00 amI just lost my SEL in a crash with a truck this week. All of the things they say about the safety of this vehicle are true, we had no serious injuries. I loved the car. I changed out the tires for V speed rated tires and that put the handeling at a much higher level. I haul kids a lot and the room inside is great. We have even squeezed 4 in the back a few times. I really miss my car. I have been pouring over the specs of new vehicles to see if I want to make a change. I dont see anything else that offers the combination of features, performance, of safety for anywhere near the price.

Great car for the money - 2003 Ford Taurus
By Shibble - February 6 - 2:00 amLove this car! Impressed with the gas mileage and comfort of the vehicle. Runs great and feels very solid on the road. Very comforting to know of the high safety rating - hope I never have to use it! All of this and I paid 10,500. at the dealership for this one year-old car!!! Unbelievable value.
