2015 Ford Taurus - Review and Road Test

Рет қаралды 259,185

Күн бұрын

Once a mid-size sedan the modern Ford Taurus now competes in the full-size category. So, compared to heavy weights like the Toyota Avalon, Chevy Impala and Chrysler 300 how does the Taurus stack up?

I have a 2010 at 133,000 miles and drove from Chicago to NY. Incredible gas mileage, road comfy, and space for 4 adults and luggage. Easy to get new parts and body design still looks great. Now we are looking for a 2018 SHO to add. Handing the 2010 down to our daughter. 🌟 great value, style, and reliability.

Kelley Blue Book long term reliability record for the older ones within this gen please; kinda curious since, last I checked, this car is among THE cheapest priced cars in its class... Same would probably apply to more of fords lineup if it wasn't for used VWs from just a few years ago, but idk... had an impala that lasted me a pretty good while, so you probably can already tell where my stance is on this...

Just drove a rented Taurus limited from Los Angeles to Chicago to Houston Got 29mpg and the car was fine. Had the Nav system in it too and that worked fine, the thing I like about this car is that it seats the driver up higher than say a Camry, its more like an SUV but a sedan of course, I like the trunk space too. I'm not a fan of SUV's.(personal choice) The car had the 288 hp engine 6cyl. and had more than enough power on the highway. Car had 20 inch rims. Really like it, handled fine on the turns through the Phoenix and such freeways.

I love my 2013 limited ford Taurus . If I have ever have that chance to park next to a Toyota Camry I will take it . it just pumps me up. The streets are not flooded with Ford Taurus cars ,but that's ok. I have had my fair share of people out there when asked what type of car do you think I am driving ? they just looked confused . I am tell them its an American car and I will buy another one . It kills me how anyone could have any complaints about the Taurus .I am 6-2 250 lbs . If you think a Camry is more comfortable than my ford I will sell you my skate board and tell you its made by Toyota

Normally I'd not think anything of somebody who wanted to buy American cars only. Whatever, that's your prerogative. However, 90% of your posts are xenophobic bile so now you get to deal with the backlash. Oh, and weren't you going on about how the Camry was an American car because it is built here on another thread?

@DarrenPersad 5 жыл бұрын

What an ignoramus. The mid-size Camry already beats the "full-size" Taurus in interior legroom. Headroom is admittedly lesser, but it is still mid-size after all. Quality is definitely higher on the current and previous generation Camry than any Taurus, but go back just a few generations and Toyota had some serious cost cutting going on. The Camry is objectively a more reliable vehicle because everything is tried and true, and resale is phenomenal. But why are we talking Camry? The Taurus competes with the Avalon, which absolutely obliterates the Taurus on all fronts, except AWD. If AWD is a must-have, then yes, the Taurus is one of the few vehicles that offers it in the class. I hate to break this to you as well, but Toyota builds more vehicles, owns more factories, and employs more people in the USA than Ford does, and Toyota contributes more to our economy, despite being Japanese-based, than Ford today. The Avalon, Impala, and Taurus are part of a dying breed of full-size non-luxury vehicles, and the Avalon is the objectively best overall vehicle in the class.

I had my 2015 2.0L for a few years, zero problems. I really enjoyed that car but it was a front wheel drive and we have winter. Put nearly 50k miles on it before trading it in. I now own a 2022 Kia Stinger 2.5L, which is tighter fit in the cabin but very comfy and it has a bigger trunk space due to the hatch. The Stinger is way more fun to drive and AWD instead of front wheel, which helps greatly in winter.

you know the shape of the grill is the same as sho. you can buy a sho grill unsnap the old one and put in the sho grill for better look without spending the extra money on a car with over heating trouble. the turbos over heat. i hear a lot of them do and people on craigs list sell them because of it. they go out of the f150's to. someone said it took $12.000 for him to fix his and only had 34'000 miles on it. so yeah i would rather go with the sel anyday. besides if you put a cool air intake and a smart ship in the sel it will up the torqu by about 10-15 and HP around 60-70. it will give it 3-5 mpg better if you drive it normal but worse then normal if you floor it but with better acceleration. also save up for sho wheels if you want them. boom. it won't be as fast but it will be 0-60 in about 5.9 to 6.1 witch is better then 6.7 to 6.9 yet it will still use less game then the sho witch is 0-60 in 5.1 sec
