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.

  Nightmare! - 2000 Ford Taurus
  By WSUgrad - November 11 - 6:29 pm

  I knew buying used from a private party could be risky, but it was a one-owner car with highway miles. Since owning, I have replaced 3 sensors (research the EGR pressure sensor issues on these cars- Ford only part & expensive!), the transmission failed at 104,000 miles, the torque converter failed shortly after, radiator sprang a leak, water pump died, the brakes eat through the pads and the rotors warp easily (Ford or after-market), oh and it is pretty thirsty for a six cylinder (one with a measly 150 horsepower, at that!) Overall the worst carI have owned of 4 over my years and the last of the "Big Three" I will buy, new or used! I should have bought a Honda or Toyota!

  Great performance, for a few years - 2000 Ford Taurus
  By MAC - October 24 - 10:59 am

  I loved the way this car drove. It was so powerful and agile. When you shut the door, you feel the weight of the metal that protects you. With the traction control, I couldnt make the car slide on snow even when I tried. After about 70k miles (bought w/40k), the car just fell apart. At one point, I was putting $500-800 a month in maintenance into it. The door lock latch busted and wouldnt shut when it was really cold, engine lights would go on, the A/C compressor died, it had some carbon in the manifold that no amount of cleaner would fix. I may buy another Taurus, but I would suggest buying one with 12k miles and trading at 60k. Let someone else keep it on life support.

  Great Car! - 2000 Ford Taurus
  By LOVE THIS CAR!!! - September 28 - 4:23 pm

  I bought my first 2000 Taurus in 05 and feel in love with this car! Drove it for year and a half with no mechanical problems at all, my first one got totaled this winter, and I bought another 2000 Taurus because I loved my first one so much, you cant get a better car for the money! Its got tons of room for hauling my dogs and my kids around, and I love the third seat!

  Fantastic Car - 2000 Ford Taurus
  By rmw313 - May 22 - 8:31 pm

  Ive had this car for about 1 1/2 years. It now has 90,000 miles and I never had any problems with it. I love this car. Its so much fun to drive. The only drawback is the fuel economy. I usually get about 22 mpg. But other than that this is an amazing car!

  Loved it! - 2000 Ford Taurus
  By Maverick - February 13 - 7:50 pm

  I bought mine with 36K for $6000. I had minor niggles with the car. 1 month after I bought the car, realized that oil gasket had a leak but the problem was not serious. Occasionally the car smoked but the problem never got out of hand. I got tires changed at 40K and brakes changed at about 60K. Steering squeaks (heard many such complaints about the model). I had the "check engine" light at about 70K - problem with DPFEP valve but the light went away before I could get it repaired. Overall I did not have serious issues with the car. The car was fun to ride. No matter how long I drove I never felt tired. Wrecked it at 80K - now I am unable to resist buying another Taurus.

  great performing sedan - 2000 Ford Taurus
  By walt - January 20 - 4:51 pm

  Leased 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.

  Good bang for the buck - 2000 Ford Taurus
  By mostlytoyo - December 9 - 5:50 pm

  Bought this wagon for an airport car. It was very cheap and in good condition. Drives nicely and is a much quicker car than my 97 Sable due to the DOHC engine. Good visibility and only minor repairs so far. Great highway mileage.

  A nice surprise! - 2000 Ford Taurus
  By mike32779 - November 22 - 9:42 pm

  This 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!
