  • our Taurus - 2004 Ford Taurus
    By -

    My wife uses the car daily for short drive to and from work. We use the car at least once a month for trips across the state. Its comfortable and practical for both. Car is good in the snow (Erie, PA). We bought our first Taurus in 99 and were happy enough to buy this Taurus in 04. We like the newer styling also.

  • Good, solid car. - 2004 Ford Taurus
    By -

    This car is totally satisfactory, and pleasant to drive. Good power, good looks.

  • 5-Passenger SE Value Package - 2004 Ford Taurus
    By -

    For those of you interested in the Ford Taurus SE, I would highly recommend the 5-Passenger with SE Value Package. After test driving the 6-Passenger Seating version, I realized the front center seating would never be practical for any adult. Also, the 6-disc CD changer is mounted in the rear trunk which would not be convenient for long road trips. However, I was impressed with the 5-Pass version w/ floor mounted shifter and 6-disc CD changer in the center console. Not only is it easy changing CDs, but also adds some extra storage next to the CD player. Now I dont have to worry about hitting the CD changer when I throw my golf clubs in the trunk.

  • Best Yet - 2004 Ford Taurus
    By -

    I am a member of a Taurus Family - weve all had one and I love it. This one is my second - traded a 2000 on it which was still running great at 70k miles. This is my favorite yet though. I have had no problems with it and I drive almost 60 miles a day. Taurus are great for safety - a family member of mine after getting hit by two trucks was still able to walk away though the car didnt. I would recommend this car to anyone. I must recommend the 24 valve engine and sports package because it is a great option for anyone wanting a little more power. I did a few things to the 04: Le Bra, tint windows. mud flaps, and am thinking about chip. Wish it had sunroof.

  • SE Wagon, GREAT work and family car! - 2004 Ford Taurus
    By -

    This SE wagon has the Duratec engine and is very strong. It has several upgrades, such as power seat, pedals, windows, CD, etc. It has been both a work and family vehicle, and I have been most impressed with it. It has plenty of power, room, and I can haul anything and everything in it or on top of it. (roof racks). I travel MUCH with my job and have placed 65K miles on this in 1.5 yrs. NO SERVICE PROBLEMS! It is comfortable considering that I ride up to 5-6 hours at a time. Style is a little "basic", but certainly fine. The only negative that I see is depreciation. Value drops FAST from NEW status. Excellent used car buy. I have had several "used" and for the money, they cannot be beat.

  • Smooth ride, a bit sluggish - 2004 Ford Taurus
    By -

    Bought this car brand new about a year ago. Paid $12,000 for it. No major problems with it. Front wheel makes squeaky noises, and the dealer cannot fix the problem. It is no big deal, I can barely hear it with the windows down. The car is really smooth to drive. The suspension is extremely soft, but it also handles like a boat. The previous car that I owned was a 99 Chevy Lumina the Ford handles better overall. The engine is slow and sluggish. The transmission is even worse it never knows what gear it is supposed to be in. However if you drive normally you wont have any problems, just dont expect much from the V6. Overall it has been a good experience. Smooth, soft, fast on the highway.

  • Good sedan - 2004 Ford Taurus
    By -

    Good sedan, good overall car, short on looks but spoiler and rims help. Lots of room and comfort for the price. I drive 26 miles to work some in city and some highway and my mpg is 20.

  • Excellent car - 2004 Ford Taurus

  • Love my Taurus - 2004 Ford Taurus

    I really love my Taurus. This is the third Taurus that I have owned. I love the comfort and looks of the car. I love the fact that it is a solid car and that I feel safe in it.
