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.

  Great Car - 2001 Ford Taurus
  By Mycar - January 1 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle holds up very well in accidents as I have found out. I was the middle car of a 5 car pile up. My car had the least damage, only front and rear bumpers with bumper covers and other minor damage. The car runs very well. Its built well.

  Great Dependable Car - 2001 Ford Taurus
  By shooter - December 22 - 6:05 pm

  I bought the Taurus in 2001 with 14,000 miles. It is now December 2008 and I still have the car with 112000 and counting. I love the car it gets 26 mpg highway and about 19 in town. One time I had a slight shimmy while shifting so I changed the tranny fluid, fixed it. Replaced the egr valve, turned rotors, changed plugs at 100,000, change oil every 5000 miles (use motorcraft) and it keeps on going. The only problem is that the washer fluid hose is busted, the sway bar support rattles and brakes vibrate. Just had our third child and will likely have to sell it. Sure will miss this one. Cant believe Ive had this good luck with a Ford, I used to be a Chevy man. Go buy one they are great.

  By jrt68 - October 10 - 5:19 am

  I have had mine for nearly 4 years and havent put anything into it except a small sensor. It gets me between 25 to 29mpg. I like it and would like to get one of the new Tauruss.

  By dutchess - June 19 - 11:19 am

  Ive owned a 96 model and loved it but I put almost 300,000 miles. That many miles on it before it went so I decided to get a an 01. Very nice ride comfort, rides real smooth and great handing. Nice family car or just a nice car for trips. Would buy an 08 in a minute

  I am well pleased with this car - 2001 Ford Taurus
  By Tex - May 26 - 1:53 am

  I bought my 2001 Ford Taurus from the Budget rental fleet with 22,781 miles on it for $12,000 cash. At 123,167 miles I have never had to make a major repair and performed only basic maintenance. It has never let me down so it the by far most economical and dependable transportaion I have ever owned. The body and interior are in good condition and I fully expect to drive my Taurus to at least 200,000 miles. The cabin has more room than any in its class. I am tall with wide shoulders but I still feel comfortable in it. Ill be sorry to see this old girl go when the time comes.

  Not so hot Taurus - 2001 Ford Taurus
  By Brian - April 17 - 7:40 am

  The performance of my Taurus is awful. When I hit the gas the vehicle always feels like it has to downshift to get going. Maybe this due to my transmisson, it is only my 2nd one so far. This is a company vehicle & others in our fleet is having the same problems. Other than the performance the vehicle is ok. The interior is a little boring, but I can live with it.
