I bought this used car about a year ago. I'm very happy I bought it. For being over 10 years old, it has held up very nice. I love the fact that the center console up front can be turned into a 3rd seat. My kids love it because there's enough seats if they each wanted to bring a friend along on a trip. It seats up to six people. There are so many bells and whistles, I'm constantly finding new surprises, even a year later. There are some mechanical issues, but that should be expected for a car of this age. I'm hoping to be able to pass this car on to my daughter in a few years once she's old enough to drive.

Great car!

This car is spacious and not cramped at all, which I prefer. It also has a big trunk. We have loaded it with huge storage bins, and we didn’t have to use a truck to do that. I also like the gray leather seats that I have, and the speakers sound great listening to my music while driving. I have had no engine trouble considering the amount of miles it already has on. I drive 30 minutes to work everyday, and it just works as a great everyday car. It runs smoothly and accelerates fast. I never had a problem with rattling or oil leaks. Never had a problem with transmission either. It runs great even with the topography we have i.e. hills and dips. It hasn’t stalled on me, although there was one time when I had a problem with the fuel line. But I would attribute that to normal wear and tear. My only real con is that it has low mpg compared to compact cars so not really fuel efficient, but I am willing to compromise. As it is a big car, it has a big turn radius. It is definitely safer to drive than smaller compact cars. As mine is an older model, it does not have the bells and whistles that newer cars have, i.e. screen, phone to car connection, etc., but I would consider getting a newer model of the Ford Taurus any day.
