When I test drove the Ford Taurus I was surprised on how comfortable it was.  It seemed to fit like a glove.  It also handled really nice.

It is now 2 years later and it still fits me well.  My dog has a lot of space in the back seat for long road trips and the trunk space fits my lifestyle well.  It still handles well and my gas mileage isn't bad.

Here is where I have a problem.  My blower motor for the heater and the ac stopped working.  Dead of winter I had to deice my windshield while I drove and tried not to let it freeze while stopped at lights.  There was heat it just wouldn't blow so if I drove fast enough it would force the warm air a little.  I did research both on the web and with people who owned the same make and year car and found out that 80% of the people I spoke to had the same problem currently or already dealt with it.

It is a great car except for this one very pricey fix...that more than likely you will have to make.

I have a Chevy Blazer that is a pure lemon. Thankfully we have a warranty because everything is always going wrong with it. We're selling it now that we bought a Ford Explorer. I hate when the a/c goes out in July and the heater in January!
