Ford Taurus - 2003 Reviews

     I have owned my current Taurus station wagon since 2003. . I have 4 grandsons whom I occasionally take on short excursions with me. It is extremely hard to fit everyone and their gear in this car. When I have to pick up people from the airport- there is a  limit of 4 adults and not much room for luggage.  After a month or so of ownership, I noticed what seemed to be  a "slippage" when pulling out from a stop. I have had this checked out at the dealership and they cannot find anything wrong... . I have very low mileage on this car- 32000- and have a concern about the transmission....

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. ...

This has been a good car for us so far, although we have made a few minor fixes to it since we bought it a year ago. This car is spacious, comfortable and a great traveling car. It makes noises a lot, but when we take it in there seems to be nothing wrong with it. We have to replace all of the spark plus about four months ago, which should not have been a problem yet because it has not yet reached 90,000 miles, but it was a relatively cheap fix. The key to this car is to keep it maintenanced. If you are not a car person, I wouldn't recommend getting this car. You might be getting taken advantage...
