Best in Class
By Brad, May 5, 2012

This car is without doubt, 100%, by the cliche country mile, the best car in its class. With 300,000 miles I have never once had to do ANY work to this car. I bought it new in 01 and never even parked it in a garage. I have owned other cars in this class and NONE are anywhere near as good. My camry started having trouble just after 125k miles and died just before 200k, and my accord died at 175k. I did however have a Nissan that also made it to 300k miles before the expense to repair it exceeded the KBB value (That is when I consider a car dead and junk it). However that Nissan was not as powerful, not as comfortable, not as easy to drive, not as safe, and parts came from Japan so it cost more to maintain. On my taurus with the cruise set at 70 I get between 35 and 38 mpgs on the Freeway and have gotten 150k miles on each set of brakes too.

Now some people will tell you that they had to have a transmission rebuild or replacement. Now as a well read, multiple car owner and gear head, I know why that is. Most cars the seals will last years and many thousands of miles longer than they will on the taurus. Now that is infact an issue with Ford's seals but it in no way caused their transmission problems. They did by not replacing them when they should have. Ford tell you that the seal needs to be replaced more often and the tell you when to replace them. If you listened then you would have had it done and paid the $100 (mostly labor as the part comes from the USA) and had the seal replaced. I have had it done on my Taurus 3 times (at ever 100k miles) and look where it is today. 300k and no sign of an end in sight. My advice is when you are buying one just ask about getting detailed records and maybe have a mechanic look at it. Look for tell tale signs of a transmission problem like dripping oil or a juttering while driving. Be careful and look close especially if your state salts roads in the winter. But a well maintained Taurus will last a lifetime.

Reliable Car
By Dave, March 17, 2012

I bought my 2001 Ford Taurus after it had over 200,000 miles on it, and it still ran like new! The seats are very comfortable. It handles quite well and the acceleration is great with it's V6 engine. The only thing that sucks is that it does not come with a CD player or any other gadgets that you see on the newer cars. Other than that, the vehicle has been very reliable and I've never had to get any work done on it besides routine maintenance
