I LOVE, LOVE my 2013 Ford Taurus SEL, if your into a smooth ride, responsive handling, great gas mileage for it's size and easy tech, then this is the car for you.

I love how Ford is the only company who can put Microsoft's Sync and Sony's Stereo System together without starting a fanboy war

Brian is the best at checking the tech hands down!

My family just had a Taurus as a rental for the last eight days. We all loved it. Quiet, smooth, great radio, and enormous trunk. I still plan to keep our cars for another five years, but when the time come to buy a new car I'll consider a Taurus.

got rid of my 2014 taurus limited after 140,000 miles. I come back to this video just to reminisce. Some Cat Converter code came on and I jumped ship too fast. These are the best car in the US. Probably was something simple but young and dumb, had it from age 19 to 23. Almost paid off too. Damn damn damn

I have a 2016 SEL with the upgraded SHO rims in this beautiful ruby red color. I absolutely love my car. I picked it up 2020 with 36k miles for $14k, covid was starting and dealer ships were giving cars away. It's roomy, quiet, great ride. Some reviews said the cabin was tight but I actually found it to be just the right size and I love the big dash and high belt line, it makes it feel like your sitting down in the car, more like a cockpit. I help friends find good used cars and everytime I went to a dealer I sat in the Taurus and they just felt right.

I have owned FORD Taurus's for 24 years, since they came out and they have ALL been GOOD cars never any problems and certainly NO TRANSMISSION problems.Currently own 08 Taurus Limited AWD with the 3.5 DOHC V6 with the ^ speed transmission and ALL WHEEL drive with ALL the options.and at present it has over 100,000 miles on it. I do keep it serviced. It is a very comfortable car that has good performance and gets good fuel mileage. I really enjoy the leather interior. and yes I am an old retired fart, but I know what I like and I like my Taurus as much as my FORD Ranger XLT pickup. IF you don't like the car then thats your problem.

I had the chance to drive a 2018 Ford Taurus V6 for a few days and I have a few key takeaways in the short time that I had it. 1. It is a substantial car. You'll notice its size when parking and just trying to keep it in its lane. However, as Brian mentioned, the engine is really good. Power is smooth and linear. I personally didn't ever feel like the car was heavy. 2. The cabin and engine are extremely quiet. In other words, non existent, which was actually surprising considering ours had the Sport wheels (20 inch rims and low profile tires) 3. Visibility isn't all that great in the back. Maybe I'm just used to a crossover. Though I only had it for a few days, it really impressed me. Power and cabin noise were standouts to me. It's a big car for sure, probably not something I'd like to handle on a day-to-day basis, but I'd love to ride in it any day of the week

Always nice to see Cooley review!! Thanks. Sat in one at the Reno car show way back when....surprised by the lack of space inside!!

looking back at your videos driving my new 22 model 3 it's like wow!!! especially how technology really has advanced!!

By far the best car reviewer on youtube!

The Taurus is back Baby! I love it!

At least Brian has good taste in music! ELO is where it's at.

I have one. I love it. 5 years old, still only 27k on it. Quietest cabin of any car - you don't have to raise your voice. Huge trunk.

That cars still looks very good. It can be a 2020 model. Very roomy. Too bad sedans are dying out.

I still have and enjoy my 2010 Ford Taurus SHO today with nearly 150k miles on it. Fun fast and decent MPG for the size and power it is. 🤔👍

I'm happy you are no longer wondering, glad to help a lost soul

This Taurus is bigger than a bmw 7 series, so much value it’s a shame it’s discontinued

its a bit chunky but ive seen this cars in person and its one of the best good looking taurus ford has released.

love the Taurus!

Liability Transfer Technology!

This guy is the best test driver there is at this point

Idk if this has changed since he did the review, but in my taurus from the same year, you press anywhere in the zone to change to that zone, not just the corner of it

I wish they brought the 2016 Chinese-dedicated Ford Taurus to North America. That re-design looks amazing.

I love how big it is. Belt line is high. Wheels are big.

I hope Ford doesn't kill the Taurus like they did with the Crown Victoria

I like this car

It's been many months Brian, and the 2014 Ford Taurus 2.0 Ecoboost is available- can we get an updated test as promised?? Maybe the multi-function screen is updated from last year too!

I like Brian Cooley, he's pretty entertaining on his reviews.

Those are such good specs for the base model. I still want the sho though.

The differences between this Taurus and the Police Interceptor vehicle are that the tail lights on all Taurus models are LED, including the amber turn signals in the back. The Police Interceptor vehicle uses regular tail light bulbs, and the turn signals flash red. Also the Police Interceptor vehicle has a column shifter to free up space for the center console for police equipment, verseus the Taurus center shifter. The regular Taurus can also be an unmarked police vehicle, just like the Impala, SS, Charger, and 300, which all, except the 300, have Police Interceptor variants.

i drove one for a week last year and enjoyed it.(ladies seem to like it?) though i was glad to get back in my focus. the 15 that i drove seemed to have good throttle response throwing it in sport mode pretty much takes care of the response wit the engine that he's talking about. and yeah love that v6 sound. my 12 focus sel is still more fun to drive though. but the limited did have good steering.

good review sir

Ford has really stepped up the Taurus. It's a nice car now.

You said soon you will report back will another trim level and different engine but we didn't see any of this car related video coming. Today is 2016 and I waited 3 years and still nothing. Soon will be a new 2017 Taurus. Will you do it again?

Wow - you ARE capable of posting without spelling errors. I was beginning to wonder.

Great honest review! I adore my 2014 limited, in this exact option package and color ironically. If you're looking to buy one used definitely definitely buy the most loaded one you can find the features are amazing the car drives great and well said I drive this car for me not to impress anyone else I love this car

finally hes back; sheesh cooley wtf have u been doing?!?

4/2/18, I've got a question for you. I have a 2015 Taurus LTD/awd; what are those [useless] lamps on the bottom? They only come on when you open the doors. This model has no DRL.

why is the headrest inclined forward that much ??

Looks nice!

I distinctly recall getting in this model of taurus at my local auto show when it was a new model. I was surprised how cramped and claustrophobic the interior felt, especially considering how massive and blocky it looked outside.

Nice review

I miss this

what happened to the aston style grille? or is that only on the new Mondeo?

If you want a high performance Taurus that is much fun to drive, get the Taurus SHO, but remember use full synthetic oil for all Ford EcoBoost engines. Consumer Reports have criticized about the lower than average fuel economy with all EcoBoost engines from the Fusion and the Escape, mainly the 1.6 and 2.0 Liter engines. Synthetic Oil may be expensive, but the engine will last longer and depreciates less.

awsome ford taurus limited 2013

Brian, your review is very misleading. You frequently say in your Ford videos that "you can add Nav later by buying an SD card!" Well, as an owner of a 2015 Fusion with MyFordTouch but WITHOUT Factory Nav, I can tell you this is not true. Both the Ford dealers and the Ford themselves will tell you the same thing. I don't know why they did this considering all MFT head units come with the Nav antenna, but you have to spec it as new with nav. If you don't, you're out of luck.

Sad they don't sale it in the US anymore. But they will again when gas prices goes past $4 a gallon.

This guy is awesome

I love this car for the size. Can someone tell me if the ecoboost is still available for 2013 ?

I luv liability prospective...u hit the brakes and the guy behind u hits u. Never thought about it that way...but very true. Cooley Rocks!!!

Yes yes yes. But what i wanna know is, where did Brian watch the superbowl?

You should test the SHO

What I can say.... Greaaaaaaat explanation. Thanx a bunch

wait so if you don't pay the near $800 then you don't get gps?

Any family van or SUV you ever review?

So true about that rear ending thing.

What's the difference between doing this and paying even more for them to install it internally to your pre-existing info-tainment system? I think it's a good idea actually...

Your so good !!

Hey Ford! Why do we need touch screen's in a car?

nice job cooley

Its Its funny how people don't remember what a big car actually looks like lol

$339k? O.o :P i think you added an extra 5 at 6:45 lol

That's how reviews are done!

Navigation is done at the factory when they load the software and can not be added after the fact by the dealer. Seen too many people fall for that one.

are there cars in the US under 200 horsepower?

Love the Taurus, great value and reliable, love the styling. The SHO has some balls. This dude is whacked, the sync system is well organized and very easily accessed, not at all a challenge to use your finger tips to get to anything.

1080 or 1440p please?

It's faster than a few previous Mustang GT's, 15.2 is fast enough for a family car. You want fast get the SHO.

wow 40k for a taurus. that shit cray. for that price it better have vtec yo.

The new Taurus replaces the Crown Vic? That's something I never knew.

That's what she said! Haha good one Brian!

Back in the 50's that was a small car! now its Godzilla! What have we come to in this prius driving world?

33,8955?

Ever try to lean out the window at a drive thru with this car... that high belt line becomes a major setback.. feels like you are trying to climb out of a small race car window. Drives very nice Visibility out the back is nil.. real should have a backup camera standard.

Your gonna get rear ended, but in most states its their fault. Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

Every person that has ride in my Taurus has love it. Mine is Black so it’s kool , women love it. Especially the big back Sit 😈

I guess there is a problem with the design of the engine and a faulty water pump. You have to drop the enging to change it out. Had a guy ask me if I could do it and said I would get back to him. Not gonna happen. Too bad for that design flaw.....

At 6:44 I think the price may be a little bit off.

Funny guy lol., but gotta' Love Fords!

which ones?

Am i the only one who believes that the last steering wheel looked way better than the plastic new one?

I find it hilarious that cooley complains about the taurus looking oversized and massive when the other cars in this class have the same large appearance. Hell, his critique can be applied to cars in general as they continue moving towards this look. I know it's due in part to safety, but i would prefer a sleeker look

4:10 nicely done....

maybe they've been playing catch up with JAPANESE CARS since the 70s but today, they're at par, if not ahead

From personal experience my 2nd tranny in my 3.8 04 GM car is out. meanwhile my 89 ford car transmission still works fine with all of the years of abuse. early 00's GM transmissions are crap, so maybe they are great now... But I probably wont ever buy a GM again. better looking cars and better on paper but I don't trust the build quality. my 89 ford economy car seems way better built then my shiny 04 "luxury" GM sedan, even tho its rusting away

33,8955 MSRP?

I have seen some things about carbon buildup issues on the ecoboost engines. I think I would stay away from the turbo option.

My favorite car is ford taurus

to have a ford taurus with a 1.0l ecoboost that would be very nice.

Websters Dictionary Looking up jedi the freak reference is LUNACY

33.8955 !!

Could the Taurus be a good car for a 22 year old like me?

6:46 - $33,8955? Haha, someone messed up.

I bet you could get that SD card on ebay or craigslist for half the price Fords wants.

So many 5's!!!!!!!!!

Have to admit I love the look of the dash and the color is striking. But for the money I'd wait to see what the new Impala has up its sleeve.

cooley!

$33, 8955 ??
