Overview & Reviews

After the 2000 redesign, updates are minor. A Lower Anchor and Tether for Children (LATCH) is now standard on all models. LATCH is an anchoring system for child safety seats. Also new is Spruce Green Clearcoat Metallic, an increase in fuel tank capacity to 18 gallons, a six-disc CD changer standard on SES models, power locks standard on LX and an optional rear spoiler.

• Excellent value for the money, high level of safety, available as a sedan or a wagon.

• Rental car stigma, front seats lack comfort, no rear disc brakes on the sedan.

  Perfect Vehicle! - 2001 Ford Taurus
  By Ford King - April 24 - 7:43 pm

  This is my second Taurus SES. I tried to go to a sports car again and I decided I wanted the Taurus instead. I really enjoy the drive and the way it rides. The side airbags and ABS are very good options to have. My favorite option is the traction control. This option has helped me in some tricky situations especially in the snow. I have never gotten stuck in the snow even when ten inches deep. I will probably always want to have a Taurus until I am ready to purchase a Five Hundred or until I get tired of my Explorer. This is a lot of car for not much money and will last forever!

  Excellent Choice - 2001 Ford Taurus
  By Israel - April 20 - 7:17 am

  The best car in its class, fun to drive, easy driving, with everything a car should have. Been driving it for about 4 years and the only maintenance is spark plugs, oil and filters, and lubricants. No doubt this is the best car in his category.

  Gas mileage is not good. Car behaves well, has really not been a problem except that "Service Engine" light comes on because gas gauge goes wacky. This is probably due to having used poor gas sometimes. Seems to be sensitive to this. No noticeable knocks or pings, however.

  Surprised - 2001 Ford Taurus
  By SMM - March 8 - 11:29 am

  I have had two Hondas. I was/am very surprised by the ride of this vehicle. It is smooth and very roomy with a decent punch from 40-70 mph. I have had it for only 15,000 miles bought it used. I feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop re reliability but it has not yet. Had a minor A/C problem and Ford stepped up the plate when I bought it without a warranty. Very pleased thus far. People act surprised when I tell them they should just drive it to see for themselves what Ford has done.

  Fun to drive - 2001 Ford Taurus
  By steve p - February 5 - 10:00 am

  I had this car for about 6 months . I bought used with 22000 miles on and put on about 6000 miles no problems.It has a nice ride and comfortable to drive. The only thing i would like to have in it is the 24 valve duel overhead cam engine for a little bit more power. But it is not all that bad.I took of the firestone affinity and put on bridgestone RE950 what a big difference in ride and fantastic handeling.

  Nice car so far - 2001 Ford Taurus
  By janet - January 30 - 1:30 am

  Bought with 17,000 miles. Already had brake work done and new tires. I had to put a EGR sensor on it, but other than that, havent had to repair anything else, yet. Car is very pretty, but not much room inside, plus seats are not comfy. Lots of road noise to get used to. Has 45,000 miles on it now, after 1 1/2 years. Hoping it wont start falling apart. Miss the large trunk I used to have on my Grand Marquis. No comparison to the comfort that car had. All in all, so far this has been a nice car.

  So Far So Good - 2001 Ford Taurus
  By da bull taurus - October 18 - 2:00 am

  Leased this new in May/01, had to replace brakes @ 28,000 miles. Rear door panel seperated from door @ 7800 miles. Maintained and serviced as recommended. Have not had any complaints with the vehicle. (That will change with age Im Sure) Overall this has been one of the better investments in a vehicle that Ive made

  I drive between 45,000 and 55,000 miles per Year! I love mine. I bought it with 28,700 miles and it now has 124,100+ miles on it. Routine maint. and a sensor is all Ive done to this car. It actually has been more reliable than 3 imports Ive owned (Toyota/Hondas), and It gives me better gas mileage than 2 of them. Best bang for the buck in todays market.
