The Ford Taurus is a while of a foible in the market. It’s not an understandable optimal for maximum, and assumed that its direct opposition embraces the well-regarded Dodge Mount, you’d be excused for discharging the Taurus overall. Though, the Taurus is designed at a far more position market than the Mount. A swift peek at the internal, predominantly the final seats, would expose why they’d say such an entity. Regardless of its long measurement, its wheelbase is much reduced than the Mount’s, so the inner of the Taurus is what you might call “comfortable”.
Starting off with the interior, assuming you aren’t claustrophobic, it’s an incredibly inviting place to be in. I particularly love the sporty cockpit feel, the way the dashboard waterfalls into the central tunnel and surrounds you with soft-touch plastic. It’s a massive upgrade from the hard plastics of the previous model, although it’s still a messy patchwork of panels, with very few clean lines. Customizable ambient lighting adds some sophistication, and external noise is kept out very well, although the 20-inch wheels add a bit of tyre roar not present on smaller wheel options.
Ford’s MyFord Touch SYNC system comes standard on SEL models and above, with an 8-inch screen, while the base SE comes with a more basic version of the system with a 4 inch screen. Our Limited features the premium 390W Sony sound system with 10 speakers and 2 subwoofers, which is decent for the most part, and goes pretty loud, but mid-ranges can be annoyingly muddy. Connectivity options are generous, with an SD card slot, two USB ports, and Bluetooth and RCA inputs available.
When it comes to driving the Taurus, there are plenty of driver-aids on the Limited trim to make your life easier. In particular, the rear-view camera is an absolute necessity, as the tall boot combined with the miniscule rear window make for utterly horrendous rear visibility. So far, while an unusual choice of car, the Taurus has proved to be pretty solid and affordable to run, thanks mainly to free services every 10,000 km, up to 60,000 km over 3 years.
