We got this car after we had our second child.  It has quite a bit of room even with cars seats and children's 'stuff' everywhere.  We got it with only 16,000 miles on it and then i wrecked it when it had 63,000 miles on it.  We never had to take it in for any repairs, just routine maintenance. ... review »

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 nice and being shorter I was able to adjust the seat to fit my leg length.  The dash board didn't seem too big which is a common dislike for me in cars.  I really think...

     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. ...

I bought my 2003 Ford Taurus brand new.  The only time it has been in the shop is when a deer decided that it wanted to ride on the front driver's side.  My taurus is top of the line.  it has leather seats, sun roof, etc.  The only problem that I have had is that the blower motor on the air conditioner keeps making a funny noise.  My husband has replaced it two times.  On other sights I have read that this is caused from missind water plugs under the dash and the motor gets wets and starts to make a whining noise.  Now I don't know about you, but my kids do enough whining in the back seat,...

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...

my car has been an exceptional car. we have had it for 4 years now and its always ready to go when i am. I have never been left stranded by it. If there is one thing i can say about a ford taurus its exceptionally great car very dependable and by far does not hold back for a mid size sedan. it has some get up and go.

For a Ford, this car has been a trooper. It appears that it will get to 200,000 miles, which is impressive for the Taurus, as they usually fall apart before that.

Taurus's are very dependable cars as long as you take care of them. I have never had a problem with a taurus. And they are easy to work on if you need to.
