Ford Taurus - 2003 Review

The 2003 Ford Taurus is a large vehicle with plenty of legroom, but boy does it guzzle gas.  I went from driving a small, Nissan Altima to the Taurus primarily because my father handed it down to me for free.  Boy, did I notice the gas mileage go down considerably.  It's not that bad of a ride.  On the freeway, it will do just fine.  You can definitely tell it's a larger vehicle, and not meant to be a gas-saving car, but it does have a lot of great features.  Not sure if it's standard in all Taurus', but the electric driver's side chair is a plus for those who are short or tall, thin or fat.  I happen to be a taller, larger male.  I can not only put the chair further back, but also tilt, raise it up, or go down.  The trunk is very spacious for carrying cargo.  The back seat is also wide enough for me to put a car seat, and two booster seats for my kids.  My older daughters love driving it though, so there are a few pluses about this vehicle.
